Healthcare Automation Announces Initiative to Convert SCS Customers
Warwick, RI (June 20, 2006) - Healthcare Automation, Inc. (HAI) is pleased to announce the launch of a conversion service for customers of Specialized Clinical Services (SCS), facilitating a rapid conversion from SCS's Specialized Clinician series of products. The service is a data conversion and customized implementation that focuses on rapidly converting SCS from the soon-to-be-defunct SCS software, to HAI's software, HomecareNet.
"HomecareNet is the ideal solution for home infusion providers looking for pharmacy technology they long had expected from SCS products, integrated with an extremely strong reimbursement and business reporting system," says HAI's CEO Ken Pereira. "We've developed HomecareNet using modern tools, not by repackaging old technology. Home infusion providers expect a high level of technological sophistication that our competitors can't provide. We can."
"Specialized Clinician customers will be looking for a strong pharmacy product, first and foremost," says Holly Simmons, R.Ph., president of Impact Solutions Group, who has worked with both HomecareNet and SCS products, as well as most other industry-standard applications. "And they also want to work with a responsive company that has a focus on customer service. Healthcare Automation offers this; they create a collaborative environment that enables products to evolve with customers' and industry needs."
"HAI's implementations group has extensive experience converting from legacy software to HomecareNet," says HAI General Manager Jennifer Keiser, noting that the fluctuating home infusion software industry - and an increasing need for sophistication - has increased the need for data conversions. "We have an expert team available to help our customers scrutinize information, to ensure data is correctly transferred to the new system. We combine this with our comprehensive training offerings, to get new customers on the right path at go live." Healthcare Automation offers a combination of on-site, online and recorded training options, to provide an all-inclusive training program that enables clients to work efficiently in HomecareNet.
With the recent merger of the SCS customer base into Definitive Homecare Solutions, SCS users can expect to face the loss of product support and development and the eventual forced conversion to CPR+'s FoxPro technology. "Healthcare Automation can offer a sophisticated solution and rapid conversion," says Pereira. "We have recent experience converting data from SCS and MBI customers, so conversion to HomecareNet is tried and true." While Healthcare Automation can accommodate the conversion of data from most systems to HomecareNet, the SCS situation is more urgent: SCS customers may be concerned about the longevity of their software and support and increased financial risk. HAI's conversion service provides an immediate solution for this critical situation.
The SCS-to-HomecareNet Conversion Service was developed with SCS users. It includes pre-conversion analysis of data so HomecareNet can be setup to closely match the structure of the existing system, plus an automated data conversion so users can see their old data in the new system before they begin the training process, eliminating the tedious manual entry of existing data. HAI is also including a free subscription to Home Infusion Reports from Rock-Pond Solutions to generate reports from both SCS and HomecareNet throughout the conversion process.
HomecareNet's design is particularly suited for the needs of SCS customers due to the sophisticated pharmacy and reimbursement offerings, state-of-the-art database design and development tools. In addition, HomecareNet is the only product available for integrated homecare providers who wish to support their home infusion, HME, home health and hospice operations with one solution. HomecareNet, while meeting the critical needs for home care providers today, is well positioned as the system of choice for the future.
Any home infusion, HME or home health providers interested in taking advantage of this innovative conversion program can view an online demo of HomecareNet and the conversion process.
