Gunnison’s history of health IT design, deployment, training and support spans 24 years, starting with the National Health and Examination Survey (NHANES), where we architected and implemented the very first fully automated mobile exam center (MEC). Our core strengths include integration of medical devices to directly capture data, electronic patient screeners and consents (online, mobile and standalone), sending and tracking lab samples and receiving results, health survey coordination and implementation, and implementation of medical protocols, and data/metadata management.
We utilize agile development approaches starting with careful consideration of policies and goals combined with forward-thinking technology visions. Product owner and stakeholder collaboration is critical, as subject matter experts drive the success of these projects and ensure the end value of the data. We pay special attention to clinical research and practice standards, thorough editing and validation procedures, applicable medical terminology and standards, HIPPA patient protection, IT security, Section 508 accessibility standards, and data interchange standards, such as HL7 and CDISC.
Our Health IT capabilities include:
- Clinical exam protocol automation and device integration (e.g., blood coulter data capture, health tracking apps)
- Electronic patient screening and consents
- Clinical computer-based training modules and datasets
- Complex computer enabled exam scheduling
- Sample collection and shipping to labs; collation of results data
- Integrated patient result reports
- Scientific computing (studies, results, drug evaluations)
- Health study data and metadata definitions and standardizations/catalogs
- Health system security plans and approvals/ATOs
