Emids, a proven leader in technology-led transformation and digital engineering within the healthcare and life sciences industry, has been recognized as a Major Contender this year in Everest Group’s PEAK Matrix® for Healthcare Provider Digital Services.

As a Major Contender, Emids has been described as client centric, offering domain expertise, and being flexible, according to clients. Clients also appreciate the quick responsiveness and accommodative nature of Emids.

Historically, healthcare providers have been mired by the legacy IT estate, and regulations that have had the unfortunate consequence of incentivizing them to maintain the status quo.

However, that is not an option anymore, particularly as healthcare providers scramble to meet the needs of a world disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Healthcare providers are now being forced to jump on the digital bandwagon to meet the demands faced by the healthcare ecosystem to battle this disruption.

To support enterprises on their digital journeys, service providers are ramping up capabilities through healthcare-specific partnerships and acquisitions. This, in turn, is driving the need for research and market intelligence on demand and supply trends in healthcare provider digital services.

Everest Group’s healthcare information technology services (ITS) program gauges the capabilities of Emids so customers can see the value Emids offers in the healthcare provider digital services space.

“Emids offers domain-focused solutions and services towards addressing specific digital needs of customers, such as virtual engagement/telehealth, and patient engagement. It also invested in strategic acquisitions of service providers Macadamian, CDR, and Quovantis to augment its healthcare solution offerings, which led to its positioning as a Major Contender in Everest Group’s Healthcare Provider Digital Services PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2023,” he added.

The PEAK Matrix® is a framework that helps Emids customers better understand the company’s market success & impact measured by the market adoption, portfolio mix, and value delivered. It also shows customers Emids’ scope of services offered, and sheds light on its vision.

Emids’ recognition as a Major Contender by Everest Group illustrates the domain expertise and value it offers customers who are seeking support in their digital journeys in this era of disruption.

Emids, a leader in digital engineering and transformation solutions to the healthcare and life sciences industries, has been positioned amongst the HFS Top 10: HCP Service Providers 2022 report.

HFS assessed and rated 17 service providers that serve healthcare service providers from primary care, acute care, specialty care and post-acute care. The report examined service providers’ role in the dynamic care delivery industry, assessing and rating participants across a defined series of innovation, execution, OneOffice™ alignment, and voice of the customer.

The healthcare provider market is seeing unprecedented challenges and Emids is uniquely positioned to guide them through this shift to digital. The pandemic exacerbated physician/caregiver burnout and the impending talent shortage is putting emphasis on how automation can remove repetitive tasks and how the usability of digital solutions used in every day work can ease the burden on both patients and providers.

The push to digital is also putting pressure on providers to provide the experiences that patients are used to from leading consumer brands through tools like Digital Front Doors and virtual assistants that can simplify appointment booking or symptom checking/management.

The data that all these new and existing tools create also must be made accessible, usable and connected in order to leverage AI/ML or advanced analytics to improve patient outcomes.
