Capstone Project: Software and Hardware Recommendation for Healthcare

This capstone project provides a software and hardware recommendation for One Rehabilitation Service, an allied health provider, to enhance data storage security and improve working efficiency. The project evaluates various software options, including Nookal, Best Practice, Emerging, MedTech, Communicare, e-Medical Practice, Clarity, Zedmed, MMEX, and Medical Director, based on business requirements such as e-referrals, discharge summaries, and shared health summaries. MedTech is recommended for its flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and compliance with healthcare standards like HIPAA. Microsoft 365 is suggested for intranet services, offering a complete package of Microsoft essentials. The implementation plan includes purchasing and installing the software, providing staff training, and utilizing new software to manage client data. The expected benefits include enhanced client satisfaction, improved access to health information, and streamlined workflows, ultimately supporting better decision-making functions within the organization. The document also provides a comparison matrix and references supporting the recommendations.
