FULCRUM Series Methodologies® is a program of Systems Lifecycle & Change Management Tools that help organizations consistently analyze and resolve problems efficiently and effectively. Targeting health care organizations, FULCRUM provides the foundation and “skilled means” to utilize information technology as the catalyst for driving organizational change through information systems planning, acquisition, implementation and associated workflow optimization. FULCRUM, as the basis for all related information system activities, builds and enhances organizational knowledge and discipline surrounding project activities in order to create a true organization-specific learning environment.

Why use FULCRUM?

FULCRUM is truly unique in the marketplace. There are several “products” with similar features or functions, but none that capture the breadth and depth of FULCRUM. Unlike other health care IT consulting organizations that market their own methodologies, FULCRUM is available as a stand-alone product and does not require any type of consulting engagement. Furthermore, when licensed in conjunction with a consulting engagement, FULCRUM can be “left behind” for the client organization to continue to learn, use and implement within their organization. Learn more.

Who is using FULCRUM?

FULCRUM was designed to address the needs of health care providers, payers and integrated delivery organizations. FULCRUM incorporates decades of IT lifecycle management, operations, change management and process improvement expertise working with premier organizations. Learn more.

In the six years I have been here, we have planned and implemented 16 major installs and every one has made the budget and go-live of the original plan.” Tim Tarnowski, CIO/Vice President Columbus Regional Hospital Columbus, IN
