Whether it’s work or play, everyone would prefer a single source of technology to make our lives easier. But the reality? Likely not possible. For instance, our devices have apps—ways to get what we want and need. Because it isn’t a linear path. From banking to travel to entertainment, we need to seek other specialized enhancements to fulfill these needs.

Finding a single electronic health record (EHR) system that not only satisfies, but exceeds, the needs of any healthcare organization is nearly impossible. So being an exceptional health IT partner to our clients sometimes means seeking alternative ways to extend our reach. When we partner with other vendors to deliver highly specialized solutions and services, we become stronger and more comprehensive in how we better support our clients and the patients they serve. These connections support enhanced outcomes, both for organizations and individuals. When health IT vendors strategically unite and align our strengths, we can deliver a wider range of support and offerings, pushing past the previous limit of possible results. These opportunities to collaborate truly emphasize a core value at Altera, to Communicate and Share Knowledge, because vendor alignment—regardless of its origin—delivers more meaningful results for clients across the board.

There are fundamentals all healthcare providers require: Meeting federal interoperability mandates and having the ability to securely exchange health data across a broad and diverse healthcare ecosystem, to name two.

Healthcare organizations are finding themselves with multiple vendors, trying to piece together a successful IT infrastructure. Often referred to as the best-of-breed approach, it doesn’t always yield the best results. Not all vendors play well in the sandbox together, which can leave organizations feeling like they are limited with no clear path forward.

But now, the path is clear. No one can do it all on their own.

The speed at which innovation and technology is moving will require strategic partnerships that can evolve together to deliver what healthcare providers need to care for the whole patient—efficiently and effectively.

Our perspective at Altera is framed by our clients’ experience, always. It is our vision: We measure our success by our clients’ outcomes. Altera alone provides resources and tools that enable better healthcare outcomes, but when we recognize opportunities for even better client results, we strategically select partners to help elevate and broaden our depth and breadth of solutions across the healthcare industry.

Next-level healthcare is within reach. And together, we’re climbing higher every day.
