Healthcare Industry Gets “SaaS-sy”

January 16, 2012 by Ani Young

Our respected financial adviser, Berkery Noyes, recently sang Healthx praises in the latest Medical Marketing & Media article.

The Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform is garnering significant exposure within the healthcare IT industry. Unlike other static healthcare management solutions, SaaS platforms have the unique ability to integrate into a firm’s health exchange systems.

Firms like Berkery Noyes are familiar with the rising popularity of our healthcare portal technology. “SaaS providers are constantly updating their systems to reflect knowledge learned from one customer and making it available for all customers,” says managing director Jon Krieger. “So their services are constantly updated for regulatory compliance, health insurer benefit and plan design information, which evolves very rapidly. You’re basically putting your system in the hands of someone who focuses on this little niche and they’ve created a platform that learns.”

The increasing need for affordable electronic data storage, made standard with the introduction of Electronic Medical Records (EMR), has driven the SaaS movement. Thanks to cloud technology, Healthx is an attractive option for payers and providers alike due to the cost savings our solutions provide.

The explosion of technology in general is helping propel the popularity of SaaS as well, most noticeably in the medical information management markets. Since smart phones, tablets, and other mobile technologies have become a way of life, it was only a matter of time before SaaS technology did too.
