Information Security
Orchestrate Healthcare’s Information Security Practice is focused on supporting clients’ information technology with information security fundamentals. The company is aware that healthcare information security is much more than just HIPAA compliance. The Information Security includes:

Having a risk-centered approach:

• Supporting privacy and being a good steward of the patient data entrusted to the organization.
• Developing an Information Security Program that is supported not only by IT, but across the entire organization and based upon common industry and recommended practices.
• Creating an information security culture.
• Enabling timely and flexible responses to information security incidents.

Business Intelligence
Healthcare Business Intelligence (BI) is one of the four core competencies Orchestrate Healthcare consultants focus on. It deploys teams to develop and implement BI strategies for healthcare systems across the country, as well as place individuals within healthcare environments to perform complex report design and development in a multitude of EMRs and applications.

The company goes beyond basic BI by helping clients define and refine the data requirements and BI tools. This ensures that patients and providers are fully engaged in the quest for quality and meaningful information. Cost and quality measurements are excellent uses of BI; but, with Orchestrate’s assistance, an organization can drive long term business decisions, make better predictive analyses, and contribute more to the patient communities it serves.

Meet the President
Charlie Cook launched Orchestrate Healthcare in 2006 seeing the need for quality consultants to work with healthcare organizations. Prior to establishing the now award winning firm, he experienced the boom in healthcare technology within the Sun Microsystems and IBM environments. It was the explosion of healthcare IT growth, and the sub-standard implementations during this time, that led to the genesis of Orchestrate Healthcare. “I was fortunate to see the business need,” recalls Mr. Cook, “and had the drive and determination to know how to build the company. We’ve had tremendous growth over these years and I see our consultants as an integral part of this success.” When asked what his favorite part of the business day looks like, Charlie answered honestly, “having a great call with a client letting me know we’ve helped their organization succeed. That’s what makes it all worthwhile!”

“Quality healthcare IT consulting is what we provide every day by seasoned professionals who have a broad range of experiences and the know-how to relate to your internal staff.”
