INGENIUM CORPORATION INTRODUCES NEW IT
OUTSOURCING MODEL FOR HEALTHCARE THAT LEVERAGES THE POWER OF THE
INTERNET
Dallas, TX — Ingenium Corporation, one of the fastest growing e-business companies in the country, today introduced a new dynamic Information Technology (IT) outsourcing model for healthcare that combines web-based portal technology with traditional outsourcing methods. Ingenium made the announcement at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) 2000 Annual Conference and Exhibition taking place this week in Dallas.
Ingenium is a pioneer in the implementation of this IT outsourcing model that leverages the power of the Internet to provide remote network and desktop management technologies for health services providers — with greater efficiency and less cost. Ingenium’s regional enterprise center allows its customers to receive helpdesk, network and telecommunications support without having on-site staff. Costs are shared among multiple customers, and each is billed only for actual time spent responding to their specific needs.
“Most IT companies’ definition of outsourcing could more appropriately be called ‘insourcing,’” said André L. Lynch, president and CEO of Ingenium Corporation. “While other IT outsourcers bring staff into your facility where you pay for their office space, equipment and time whether they are busy or not, Ingenium’s end-to-end e-business infrastructure support provides our customers with the highest level of service at a lower cost.”
Ingenium’s IT support includes helpdesk, desktop, LAN/WAN, web systems, telecommunications, enterprise applications and computer room operations.
Through customized portals, Ingenium’s healthcare customers extend their own brand into the marketplace and integrate their legacy applications to the web, without having to re-engineer them. The result is a highly secure corporate intra/extranet that provides value to administrators, physicians and other healthcare professionals, as well suppliers and consumers.
Ingenium’s combination of electronic security-related experience and healthcare industry expertise provide the knowledge and skills necessary for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) assessment and compliance through its eSecure Consulting practice.
Ingenium supports more than 150 health services facilities, including the Dimensions Healthcare System (DHS) and DC Health and Hospitals Public Benefit Corporation (PBC).
