78 Percent Savings: Best Practices Give Healthcare Leader a Prescription for Lower IT Labor Costs
Overview In planning the move to the third-party application, however, the HMO realized its aging base of 100,000 PCs and 10,000 notebooks, many of them running Microsoft Windows NT, lacked the performance and reliability to support such state-of-the-art, mission-critical applications. In addition to limiting business flexibility, the old systems were costly to manage. Running an aging operating system also heightened the company's exposure to security risks - a serious problem when patient confidentiality is at stake. The provider was counting on the management initiative to streamline IT productivity, enhance the quality of IT services, reduce the cost of managing the PC environment, and make way for the new electronic medical records application. But before moving forward with the MWI, the HMO asked consultants from Intel Solution Services and Microsoft Consulting Services to identify the initiative's likely cost savings. The resulting benefits analysis showed that, based on industry studies, the MWI could reduce the company's PC labor support costs by 56 percent over three years.
