PHS takes into account the Quadruple Aim of the Military Health System prior to proposing organizational changes. Improved readiness and better outcomes at lower cost are only achieved when the workforce increases its skill level and participates in quality improvement. Our experts incorporate the following considerations in every program to ensure success:
- Training Center Set-up
- Simulation Development
- Level of Authorization/Countersignature Design and Data Capture
- Online FAQ & How To Guide Development
- Supervisory Level Training and Support Plan
Use of Analytics
For our purposes and to improve understanding between PHS and its clients, PHS staff makes heavy use of analytics, a blend of business intelligence and data visualization to achieve project status transparency. The underlying philosophy is to use analytics as a communication model of pre-approved and agreed performance measures to better understand the practice environment and our collective situational awareness. Analytics will be used to assess causality, predict the impact of strategic decisions and to influence organizational behaviors to achieve key objectives. Some of the analytical tools PHS will make available are:
- Clinical Service Line Dashboard Design
- Performance Metrics Initiation
- Custom and Routine Reports Catalog Development
- Development of Ideal Data Modeling Approach (Regression, Machine Learning/AI, or Experimental) to provide Data Driven Management Decision Support

PHS suppliers provide FDA-certified products including PPE. Our product and service delivery includes addressing needs on an international and global scale.
Facilities, Communications and Infrastructure EMR Optimization
Facility and Infrastructure Condition Assessments
Condition Assessments are a means to compare a facility’s current state to future need related to Electronic Health Record (EHR) solution’s operational readiness. The EHR is essentially a critical infrastructure that can compromise patient safety just as many other healthcare systems can. If it goes down, patient care is severely impacted. EHR solutions demand the availability of three critical resources: power, HVAC, and an operating data network. PHS assesses the current state of infrastructure to help clients prepare for critical redundancy using tools such as:
- Asset Tagging and Inventory
- Energy Audits and Studies
- IDSM Capacity Studies
- HVAC Demand Estimates
- Wireless Heatmap Development
- Network Speed Tests
Modernization Roadmap –
Praevian staff will assist customers in crafting a roadmap to meet modernization needs. In this effort, the following functional areas will be addressed.
- Resource Identification and Cost Estimates
- Value Added Orientation
- Sustainable Transformation
- Align with Workforce and Culture
- Agile and User-Centric
Network Security and Privacy Planning
Providing for Cybersecurity and protecting personal patient and sensitive hospital information from the results of hacking and ransom ware activities by unknown and malicious parties is essential to successful implementation and operation of the EMR. PHS guides are clients through this critical planning phase so that the following concerns are accounted for:
- Identify Known Risks
- Assess Security and Resilience of Connected Devices
- Provide Governance Template for Passwords and Privileged Access Control
- Establish Adverse Event Monitoring Program
- Collaborate with Stakeholders on the Continuity of Business Plan
User Experience (UX) Plan and Room Design
Good interface/experience design is not pervasive in the EMR. Many healthcare systems do not employ the necessary expertise to customize a user interface, opting instead for out-of-the-box products to manage electronic medical records’ look and feel for their staffs. PHS takes a different approach to what we feel is more than aesthetics. PHS provides a team of UX professionals working for our clients. Whether it’s the interface and controls for a medical device or a customized frequent use clicks and text, PHS provides the best practice for the optimal build for your electronic medical record. There is a niche to fill and PHS meets this need.
Project Management and Implementation
Many executives and managers approach PHS because they have determined they need assistance on their path to success. Typically, in an entity’s transformation from point A to point B, there are voids, challenges and risks. PHS consultants can help an entity achieve its goals by supplementing our client’s team, using best practice methodologies and tools to plan and control transformation in a project, program, portfolio of projects, and enterprise.
Risk Management Planning
Potential risks can evolve into obstacles to success and have varying impacts to various business functions and resources. PHS experts use best practice and tools to manage project risks by proactively identifying, assessing, and defining a response to risks. Monitoring and controlling risks is our specialty.

Typical failover systems include a primary and secondary internet circuit; a redundant copy of your servers that can be brought into production within hours; and an offsite copy of your data. When it comes to disaster recovery, there are two kinds of companies: those that are prepared and the ones that are not. PRAEVIAN experts assist customers in ensuring they are prepared for any type of disaster. We will guide our customers to ensure contingencies are in place to recover rapidly regardless of scenario.
Quality Management
Quality Assurance and Quality Control
Quality assurance is a pro-active process-based approach emphasizing planning, documenting, and finalizing the guidelines that will be necessary to assure high levels of quality. PRAEVIAN experts help customers achieve the primary objective of quality assurance which is to prevent defects in deliverables in the planning stage to avoid rework, which is expensive. Quality control is a reactive approach which starts at the beginning of projects. PRAEVIAN experts help customers achieve the primary objective of the quality control process which is to ensure the deliverables are defect-free, acceptable and based on the quality requirements. PRAEVIAN quality professionals are well-versed in industry-standard quality disciplines, standards and methodologies, such as 6 Sigma and ISO 9000.
Compliance
Compliance is an integral part of an organization’s delivery and typically impacts an organization’s finances and cashflow in various ways. PRAEVIAN professionals support customer’s compliance functions by developing and managing processes to ensure contract deliverables are compliant to contract requirements, standards, and guidelines.
Business Process Design and Improvement
A business process, a building block of any business, is a series of repeatable steps that are critical for achieving a business goal. Business Process Design is the act of creating a new process or workflow. PRAEVIAN experts help customers design repeatable steps to address goals with the intent to create expected results and repeatable success. Process Improvement is the on-going proactive practice of identifying, analyzing and improving upon existing business processes within an organization for optimization and to meet new quotas or standards of quality. It involves a systematic approach which follows a specific methodology. PRAEVIAN further assists customers by crafting systematic approaches to facilitate continuous process improvement activities.
Test Management
Effective test management is a critical part of developing high quality software and hardware products. Through well-planned and well-managed testing processes, teams can ensure that they are producing the best products possible, while making the most of their limited resources. PRAEVIAN experts help organizations deliver high quality products that meet their customer needs by incorporating smart test management practices aligned with best practice industry standards and disciplines.
