BIQ Health Solutions Supports Healthcare Organisations in HIMSS Certification
BIQ Health Solutions is strengthening its position as a strategic partner in the digital transformation of healthcare by providing specialised support to institutions preparing for HIMSS certification models.
With an experienced team and in-depth knowledge of the digital maturity models developed by the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society, BIQ Health Solutions supports hospitals and healthcare organisations throughout the various stages of the process, from initial awareness and assessment to planning, implementation of improvement measures and validation of the required criteria.
Internationally recognised, HIMSS certification is a leading benchmark for assessing the digital maturity of healthcare organisations. These models encourage the adoption of best practices, interoperability between information systems and the continuous improvement of the quality of care delivered to patients.
Developed by HIMSS, a non-profit organisation dedicated to improving healthcare through the effective use and optimisation of information and communication technologies, these models help institutions advance their clinical and operational processes. Associated benefits include reducing clinical errors, lowering readmission rates, increasing productivity and improving the management of available resources.
Among the most widely recognised models is EMRAM, the Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model, a tool that enables hospital management teams, information systems departments and clinical professionals to assess their organisation’s level of technological adoption and compare its performance with similar institutions at both national and international level.
The HIMSS EMRAM assessment helps identify each institution’s starting point and define a short-, medium- and long-term digital transformation strategy. The model is structured across seven stages of maturity, with Stages 6 and 7 representing the highest standards of digital excellence and international recognition.
Through a tailored approach, BIQ Health Solutions supports organisations in identifying opportunities for improvement, optimising clinical and operational processes and implementing the initiatives required to achieve the objectives defined by the different HIMSS models.
“The certification process represents much more than simply meeting a set of requirements. It is an opportunity to accelerate digital transformation, improve operational efficiency and create value for healthcare professionals, managers and patients,” highlights João Marques of BIQ Health Solutions.
Throughout the entire process, the company provides technical and strategic support, helping organisations prepare more effectively for assessments conducted by HIMSS. This support enables institutions to reduce risk, align teams, accelerate the achievement of defined objectives and maximise the return on investment in technology and innovation.
With this service offering, BIQ Health Solutions continues to contribute to the digital evolution of the healthcare sector, supporting institutions seeking to achieve high standards of safety, efficiency, interoperability and quality of care.
