H1N1 Ready & Staying on Course
The worldwide H1N1 pandemic is a cause for concern, but SIMI Public Health customers are H1N1 Ready! They have rapidly leveraged their existing informatics investments to meet evolving H1N1 needs without having to stop to develop one-off, paper or spreadsheet solutions. SIMI’s dynamic and scalable SRA-Gateway and PHEDEX products, built on Microsoft’s BizTalk and SQL Server, empowers them to focus on surveillance, laboratory results, education, response, coordination and collaboration to protect the public. They stay on course with CDC Public Health Information Network (PHIN) guidelines and grant requirements while continuing program efforts, minimizing the diversion of scarce resources.
Effectively Utilize Grant Opportunities
The diversity of Health & Human Services, Public Health and Homeland Security programs is only surpassed by the quantity and complexity of Grant and Cooperative Agreement governance, guidance and requirements. With over a century of collective experience in government, grants, cooperative agreements, oversight and procurement, SIMI works with its customers to develop innovative new business models to share limited funding and resources for the benefit of the entire enterprise while resolving inter-grant conflicts. SIMI’s Programmatic and Business Roadmaps are empowering leadership to make informed decisions on how to best utilize funding, track and manage grants, and address sustainability post- grant. The Roadmaps enables the definition of requirements for the appropriate tools to ensure all requirements are met. From the new ARRA Stimulus funding and the 2009 Supplemental Act PHER , to ASPR-HPP, DHS-UASI, DHS-SLGP, HHS-ONCHIT, CDC-CRI and CDC-PHEP and others, the need to maximize utilization of grants has never been greater.
Time to Value
Government leaders and information officers recognize the need for Enterprise Architecture, Service Oriented Architecture and Systems Infrastructure to effectively design, deliver and manage resilient and sustainable software applications. Complexity, expense, skills and time have all been barriers to effectiveness. SIMI’s customers are already benefiting from their healthcare and public health extranet SOA implementations and leveraging those assets now. Built on the Microsoft .Net and Server technologies, the SIMI PH-360 framework provides an extensible platform that meets many common needs. They are rapidly transitioning from legacy, silo development models to composing business solutions based on flexible services that adapt to evolving information needs with an unprecedented Time to Value.
Daily Usability, Pandemic Flexibility
From tornadoes and hurricanes, earthquakes and floods, to fires and pandemics, the best tools are every day ones with use adapted to meet the need. Outbreaks can range from a small group of individuals, to a chain of restaurants, to an entire community. Common tools that are flexible to meet specific needs focus resources on addressing the problem, not the technology. This philosophy of adaptive, scalable dynamic use is the hallmark of SIMI products, tools and techniques. From SOA-based designs and flexible deployment models, to our non-user based licensing and software-as-a-service pricing models, SIMI delivers simple, easy-to-use tools that are designed to interoperate and integrate with custom, third-party and off-the-shelf products to meet the unique requirements of each customer, scenario and need.
