“The consultants are very knowledgeable and responsive to any concerns or need for change. Impact Advisors talks about being a partner, and they show up as a partner. They don’t just talk the talk; they walk the walk. They are humble enough to receive feedback and do their best to act on it. I never feel like I am being sold a bill of goods. Those are the things I really appreciate about working with them.”

We understand that clinical efficiency is central to positive patient outcomes, and reducing time to resolution for clinician questions directly affects clinical efficiency. Taken a step further, with the proper feedback loops our team can aid in improving workflows and reducing workarounds through the assessment of reported incidents and clinician questions. With the assistance of Gen AI, we can also provide this feedback much timelier and improve upon self-help and self-healing tools.

An application transition is a sensitive time in an organization’s IT journey. We provide a programmatic approach to legacy support, ensuring that we not only KTLO, but continuously look for improvements in your processes and cost reduction opportunities as appropriate. We can also thoughtfully plan staffing to cross over from legacy support to additional go-live or post-go-live support as needed.

Building and supporting an affiliate program is an important strategic initiative that needs specialized direction and attention. Our managed services teams understand that your affiliates are your customers, but also the importance of balancing customer service, customization, and maintenance efficiency. We can help manage the day-to-day support as well as the dynamics between a host site and contracted affiliates.
