The Novartis HIT Team includes technical subject matter experts with decades of combined experience. With their expertise in patient-centered care coordination and HIT optimization, the HIT Team’s informaticists can provide education and helpful resources to your organization’s clinical team which may help improve health care quality.

The HIT Team:

  • Provides education on how to optimize your infrastructure which may help improve early diagnosis, treatment, and patient management by utilizing the electronic health records (EHR) and other technical tools in prioritized therapeutic areas
  • Understands the critical connection between clinical care and IT
  • Knows health care system priorities, language, and clinical workflows
  • Will collaborate with your organization to help you identify areas for improvement and develop technology solutions that are user-centered and may help improve the quality and efficiency of patient care

The HIT Team also understands the importance of facilitating change without increasing clinician frustration and burden.

Our Expertise

Patient Identification for Stratifying Populations

We help identify gaps in patient care, playing a pivotal role in educating how and where to find clinical data for potential translation into actionable intelligence. This work supports data-driven decision making and optimized clinical processes to help identify and risk stratify patients earlier in the disease process which can help enable better outcomes.

Clinical and Operational Workflow Optimization

We provide education to help implement clinical and/or operational support tools that may help improve efficiency and improve care. This can include education about embedding care pathways and guideline-directed medical therapies into the EHR.

Patient Activation and Engagement Solutions

For clinical services to be truly effective, patients must be engaged and activated to participate in their own care. We assist with the technical integration of tools to facilitate patient activation.
