Portal Planning

When it comes to offering maximum functionality and access to clinical or other critical systems, a portal is often required. Portals can be offered for patients, physicians, employees and many others. But it can be difficult to see portals offered by other organizations because you are often required to log in.

If turning strategy into action for a portal is posing a challenge, let Greystone.Net help.

Greystone.Net's extensive experience in advising nearly 250 hospital and health system clients regarding strategic and implementation planning for portals for a variety of audiences has provided us a unique perspective an how best to assist clients. Some of our consultants have helped lead portal development projects at health systems, while others have worked closely with clients on the development and deployment of their portals.

While project scope varies based on client need, typical components of our portal planning assistance include:

• A detailed current state assessment of any existing portals the client may have. 
• An agreed upon e-health vision and strategy able to leverage your overall organization strategy and drive prioritized strategies into action. 
• An enhanced understanding of and agreement on new Internet-based business models for relating to and serving your key audiences via a portal. 
• A tactical implementation plan, with documented strategies, supporting tactics, accountable parties, and implementation timetables. 
• A completed functional design for the portal. 
• An agreed upon monitoring process and specific performance targets for key indicators that will support future return on investment analyses. 
• A comprehensive plan supported by participants in the process.

In addition to detailed actionable project outputs, our planning process typically involves working with many people throughout the process. This approach helps ensure that we can identify the technological, infrastructure and organizational issues that can "make or break" portal development efforts.
