Strategic Design is all about future proofing the business's IT services into with the desired corporate direction. Taking key factors such as governmental, financial, and clinical trends from which a clear evolving road map of how, when and where IT services have to change can be built. This includes an optimised pathway, trigger point for change, gateway achievement, risk analysis, path diversion strategies and financial modelling. MEC has a track record in delivering information and IT strategies for individual departments, organisations, health care communities, SHA areas and elements of national strategy. In MEC's experience these IT strategies must be developed from the business strategies but all too often the business opportunities that can be leveraged off information and IT do not form part of the business strategy. Executive summaries and priority reports can be provided by MEC to clearly represent the future plans of an organisation. MEC Health IT Consultancy (MEC) has the capability of supporting the full spectrum of health organisation and suppliers needs when it comes to strategic thinking, guidance and associated design services for implementing, utilising or integrating IT healthcare systems into future plans..

Testing & Technical AssuranceMost health care organisations are now dealing with a wide range of providers of IT systems and services. These organisations have to assure themselves that what is being provided will work in their increasingly complex environments and long term strategic benefit. Assuring themselves that what is to be delivered will work safely and deliver business benefits is often amongst the most technically difficult things to achieve. Assessments of systems as to whether they will... work safely, quickly and efficiently without error for the end users, interface with other systems appropriately; and produce the right management information for the organisation. MEC has the kind of business focussed assurance expertise to support those organisations at the various levels in the testing "V-model" and have experience of working with a range of systems at all levels of complexity and depth of testing throughout the software testing cycle. MEC has also experience with configuring and using test toolset and products, such as HP Quality Center for managing testing and fault resolution.
