Symphony Corporation has a long history of developing next-generation healthcare software applications that are data-driven, high-performance, content-rich and fully compliant with healthcare regulatory standards (HL7, CCOW, X12, NCPDP, HIPAA and ICD-10). Our highly competent product development teams bring strong healthcare domain knowledge, understanding of healthcare workflows and standards, and expertise in a range of new and legacy technologies.
Symphony’s quality processes are assessed at Capability Maturity Model Integrated (CMMi) Level IV and are ISO 9001:2000 certified. Our quality methodologies and repeatable processes have evolved for more than 18 years to provide our clients with clear milestones, increasingly predictable deliverables, and more transparency into the development process. Symphony’s processes are audited for 21 CFR Part 820 (QSR) standards and comply with Good Documentation Practices (GDP).
Our clients include healthcare delivery systems, health plans, technology vendors and startups. Symphony also has extensive experience in translating concepts to commercial products and has innovation partnerships with well-known health systems.
Extended Development Center
In the Extended Development Center (EDC) model Symphony on-boards and manages a group of talented technology professionals handpicked to meet its clients’ specific business objectives. The team works as an extension of the onsite team and is tightly integrated into the development workflow and process. Symphony brings significant experience in building and managing teams of varying sizes.
Under this model Symphony dedicates a team of multi-disciplinary resources organized to meet clients’ varying application development, testing, and maintenance needs. The resources are trained and managed by Symphony at its world-class development centers. The EDC model is best suited for long-term partnerships for significant ongoing development and maintenance work. Our clients retain the knowledge base and manage the EDC team’s objectives and timelines. Symphony offers a fixed-price or cost-plus pricing model. Our success comes from our matured processes that offer predictability and transparency. Symphony can also operate under the build-operate-transfer (BOT) model.
Quality Center of Excellence
Designed for healthcare organizations and ISVs with aggressive release roadmaps, the QCoE engagement model provides the ideal solution to increase the quality of deliverables as well as reduce the total cost of quality assurance. Symphony offers high-quality, independent, cost-effective and comprehensive testing services.
In this model, Symphony dedicates a core team of testing personnel that is involved in all stages of the SDLC. The size of the team can be modified to meet workload demand. The team deploys Symphony’s mature testing and quality assurance methodology or adopts the client’s best practices. Clients typically engage Symphony’s services using a dedicated team under a fixed-price model.
Our Recent Product Development Projects
HIGHFIVE RX – COMPREHENSIVE MEDICATION MANAGEMENT
Symphony developed a SaaS-based comprehensive medication management system for HighFive Rx, which includes medication reconciliation and workflow optimization by aggregating medication information from multiple provider sources—both ambulatory and inpatient clinical data. The system then identifies and scores at-risk patients and generates a single, continuous medication narrative and care plan. Symphony continues to enhance the platform and helps HighFive Rx with data loading, data management and EMR integration.
INTELLIVISIT – TELEMEDICINE AND MOBILE HEALTHCARE APPLICATION
Intellivisit offers a “digital front door” to primary healthcare—connecting people to the right care and enabling better-informed decision making for both clinicians and patients. As a personal on-demand doctor, Intellivisit is better, faster, and cheaper than going to see the doctor. Symphony built the MVP+ and continues to build and enhance features for this next-generation telehealth product.
