We develop custom software
Custom web-application development is our specialty. Although there are similarities within the industry, no two organisations are the same. Off-the-shelf software is often missing features you need while being bloated and over-complicated with features you don't need.
There is no better way to get software that slots into your exisiting workflow and processes than to get it custom developed.
We supply SaaS & ready-to-install applications.
The IT Hive will soon be releasing an exciting suite of hosted applications designed specificaly to suit the needs of Australian health services. The Software as a Service (SaaS) delivery model enables you to obtain access to sophisticated, specialised software on a subscription basis. So rather than pay an expensive upfront fee for buying your health IT software you pay for it by the month.
SaaS allows you to upgrade & downgrade plans at any time - or stop using it all together without notice if you wish. There's no installation, no upgrading, no hardware required and you don't need an IT specialist - it's all done for you.
Security, user authentication and backups are all taken care of to the highest standard. And the nature of SaaS means the provider is motivated to continue to provide the same high level of service over the long term - not just until they receive your cheque!
Support
We provide email & phone support 24/7. We repair faults quickly and we have automatic monitoring systems to alert us of any downtime so that we can take action quickly.
Customisation, Installation, Integration, Upgrading
All of our web-based software solutions are highly customisable, both in appearance & functionality. That's one of the advantages of using web-based technologies. And the user interface is simple, friendly and familiar to anyone who has ever used a web browser.
Design for Print & Web
Any good software application is made even better by an attractive, well designed user interface. We place great importance on designing simplicity into our application interfaces. Web-based applications eliminate the cluttered, ugly grey forms that are so common in other systems.
Our graphic design team is also available for print design jobs if needed.
Usability & Accessibility Reviews
We can't stress enough the importance of usability in good application design. Of course it's important to consider the output of a software system but putting the user first can make the difference between software that users want to use and software that users need to be coerced into using!
Database Design & Migration
Essentially, almost everything we do is about creating systems to accept, process, manage & manipulate data or information. We do a lot of database work and can help you get the greatest value out of the information that you collect. We can also help you transfer data between databases and develop systems to allow different databases to communicate with each other.
HL7 Messaging Integration
One of the biggest problems with health care software is the lack of common standards and protocols, especially in older systems. This means that in a great many cases you may have several different applications within your organisation that have no way of communicating with each other - let alone communicating with systems outside your organisation.
This is one of the reasons why we still have to rely so heavily on paper-based systems and faxes. HL7 Messaging provides a common standard for different applications to communicate and understand each other. This could allow your admissions system to 'speak' to your pharmacy system or receive pathology results electronically.
We can add HL7 Messaging functionality into your custom designed application if you feel this would be of benefit to you. We can also advise you and help you implement HL7 Messaging Gateways or Interfaces to enable communication between a greater variety of systems.
Accreditation & Clinical Outcomes Tools
We can help you in your ACHS Accreditation preparation or assist you to develop systems for data collection for generating ACHS Clinical Indicators.
We can also help you implement solutions to improve your clinical outcomes and improve the position of your health service against ACHS or other industry outcome benchmarks
