Customization

• Below is an example of how we can reduce resource costs for you (This is just an example to illustrate the benefits of automation, individual results will vary):
  • You have the need for a custom report or data elements added to a pivot report to track a new data element you would like to report on. HealthWare completes an analysis and concludes that we can add two fields to the database and add three fields to a pivot report to meet your needs.
• Let’s say this evaluates to 3 hours of custom programming which equates to $900.
• You are paying an FTE $15 per hour for 32 hours per month to collect and aggregate this data. This equates to $480 per month and $5,760 annually.
• Once the custom development is complete, the time to collect and aggregate is reduced to 3 hours per month. This equates to $45.00 per month and $540.00 annually.
• Let’s do the math:
• $5,760 Current cost per year to collect and process the data.
• $900 Custom programming services.
• $540 New cost per month to process.
• $4,320 Dollars saved from automation in the first year.
