Description
Syndicus, Inc. established itself in Maryland in 2007 as a technical staffing and business solutions group. A major focus for Syndicus is its electronic health records adoption practice – a consulting group that was established in February 2010 to support the Healthcare Efficiency and Affordability Laws (HEAL) of New York. Since then, the practice has grown to provide not only the critical skill sets, but also overall Program Management.
MSO Profile
Syndicus joins forces with EHR vendors to satisfy the needs of healthcare providers and applies its PMO methodology to ensure that each entity completes its business objectives as quickly and effectively as possible. The EHR adoption practice deploys a Total Cost of Solution tool to ensure that decision makers understand total costs and commitments and choose the most economical, efficient (Meaningful Use) and cost-effective solution that will realize the many incentives from payers, as well as local, state and federal agencies. Before recommending a software solution to PCPs, Syndicus uses its Joint Technology Selection process to identify the candidate solution that bests fits the purpose of the healthcare practice.
