| At AKOS, we strive for excellence, not only in things that are easy, but also in areas that are really challenging. A prime example of such a demanding task is creating software that busy physicians are willing to use at the point of care – which implies that the software must be very user-friendly, convenient, designed in accordance with the doctor’s unique process, and gain his/her approval and willingness to use the software. This is a tall order! It is not a coincidence that while IT has made it into almost every field – retail, finance, entertainment, education and pretty much everything under the sun, the healthcare field continues to be an isolated exception.
Providing Patient Care is an extremely complex discipline that entails not only the science of healing through treatment of the disease, but also requires the art of alleviating emotional and personal levels of stress for patients as well as their families. The time and skill of the Healthcare provider is under constant pressure, and the various responsibilities on the physician consume an immense amount of energy, expertise, time and attention to detail. To get such an overworked physician to try something new with electronic gadgetry in place of the known, tried and true methods is next to impossible. But we, in AKOS, are made of sturdy stock, with the courage to undertake the impossible!
Adding yet another layer of complexities, it should be noted that Healthcare institutions are typically large and complex organizations that span multiple areas such as Clinical Care, Patient Safety and Satisfaction, Equipment, Procurement, Supplies and Inventory, Finance, Healthcare Professionals, Staff, Administration, Maintenance and additional instruction related disciplines, in the case of Healthcare Teaching Institutions.
In AKOS, we are proud to create a perfect union between these three challenging areas: the care-giving process between providers and patients, the complex healthcare organization, and the effective use of Information Technology. We are excited by our innovative breakthrough into the healthcare space. Our software is now being used by premier healthcare organizations, and patient records have been captured in excess of 250,000 patient visits per institution per year! And we are growing rapidly!
It is a good feeling to see that healthcare providers initially reluctant and wary of change have transformed into enthusiastic users demanding additional features. Now that healthcare providers who use our software are championing process innovations, we are well on our way!
Our powerful research tools are easy to use and enable the user to build very complex queries with a combination of Logical AND & OR Operators over the pertinent set of variables collected by our software. Every piece of data collected can be mined. AKOS technology literally allows the researcher to search for “special needles of interest in the huge haystack of data” and pursue threads of exciting possibilities! The AKOS passion is to build global collaborations and inspire innovations in healthcare via our software tools & technology. Our AKOS tag line is Better Health. Better Research. Everywhere.™ We do everything to make this a reality. The Future of Healthcare Starts Here!
