Our Services
Judgment Backed By Consistent Quality
At IT Optimizers, we coordinate two critical themes in our service portfolio. The first is judgment. We apply experience. Our executives (who manage and perform detail tasks on our engagements) have managed information technology operations of scale, both routine and complex implementations and turn around projects.

Knowledgeable
"IT Optimizers has come in with expert consultants and provided value so often that we continue to use them over and over again. We would recommend them to anyone"
Eric Saff, CIO, John Muir Health |

Our team has former CIOs, COOs, CMOs, process excellence experts, and technical managers who have performed countless planning initiatives, large scale procurements, interim management assignments and diverse implementations. Our financial analysts have supported extensive cost-benefit analysis efforts, and have already tracked the ROI of technology projects… down to the dollar.
Our second theme is consistent, replicable quality, delivered through proven methodologies. We are co-developers and licensed users of Fulcrum Methods, a set of comprehensive information systems lifecycle and change management tools used by over 750 healthcare professionals who daily manage thousands of complex projects.
At IT Optimizers, using Fulcrum Methods in conjunction with our proven talent and project governance framework delivers immediate value to our clients while developing sustainable skills within our client organizations.
Our services are results-driven yet strategy focused, positioning our clients for the future. We are:

Distinctly qualified. Time after time, we have successfully led our clients in projects relating to information technology governance, organization and competency development, political and cultural analysis, strategy-to-technology alignment, objective alternatives analysis, decision framing, facilitation and performance-based technology contracting.
- Uniquely capable. Our team has been there, having held line management, executive and clinical positions with regional health care providers, national consulting firms and payer organizations. We are practical, experienced, proven leaders.
-
Analytically superior. IT Optimizers has successfully completed some of the most complex vendor evaluation and economic (CBA) analysis projects undertaken by health care providers and payers today, including;
-
the detailed implications of regionalizing IT support for an integrated delivery system, including IT department and data center consolidation
- the economics and practical requirements of rolling out electronic health record and population management technology to a 3000 physician IPA
- the hard quantified benefits of implementing an IDN-wide electronic medical records system
- calculating fair market value in support of physician charge-backs for services relating to information technology and RHIO functionality
- development of meaningful, realistic information system vendor performance (and payment) metrics for clinical and financial systems contracting during vendor selection
