When the need or opportunity for MDI arises – e.g. a new EHR implementation, merger or acquisition, technology update – many hospitals find themselves not fully prepared: without appropriate middleware, needed network infrastructure, appropriately sized budget, or the required technical expertise. By applying MDii’s deep knowledge and experience, we can save healthcare delivery organizations significant time and money and improve outcomes.

Hospital leaders must carefully consider the value of any major technology investment. They must be able to validate the clinical, financial, and operational impacts of the effort, including determining reasonable ROI. Fortunately, the value of MDI is easily demonstrated. Lack of MDI imposes real costs on hospital operations, both direct (manual data entry often gets pushed to the highest cost people) and indirect (costs of suboptimal outcomes from missed or erroneously entered data). By comparison the costs of MDI are fractional and can be further reduced if implemented with proven processes. Getting it right the first time reduces costly rework and remediation.

Automated data entry reduces human error, workload, and clinician cognitive burden in making clinical decisions. Fresher, more comprehensive EHR data – with less manual effort – can help clinicians spot trends more quickly and easily, improving patient outcomes. MDI helps drive healthier outcomes by reducing mundane clinical tasks, unnecessary interruptions and data entry errors, allowing greater concentration on patient care. MDii has helped numerous hospitals realize these benefits, while retaining proprietary processes and nomenclature that is important to them.

Devices that don’t natively include integration capabilities require middleware en route to the EHR to achieve desired communications. MDii can identify best fit middleware solutions to meet the hospital’s goals. Additionally, standardization puts staff on equal footing at all facilities and enables clinical innovation and predictive analytics. MDii can assure that the medical devices and middleware comply with industry standards, and the integration follows best practice.

At MDii, medical device integration is our focus. Our resources are not pulled in other directions. We provide subject matter expertise for MDI-supporting vendors whose primary domain expertise lies elsewhere. We make medical device data consistent, standardized, and conforming even across a broad range of participating vendors and sites.
