SwRI Accomplishments: Information Systems Engineering, full life cycle development, business process reengineering, systems integration, BPR, IT services, IS sservices, information systems services
Repeated demonstration of the capability to deliver products and quality services
on time and within budget is an accomplishment of the Information
Systems Engineering Department at Southwest Research Institute
(SwRI). Currently, we are focused on the design,
development, and support of two major enterprise level Service
Oriented Architecture systems: Reengineer
government client's 25-year-old scheduling
management capability by bringing together improved business
processes with advanced technical architecture Objectives: Better
business practices that improve visitor experience (e.g.,
reduced wait times) Better
process standardization wherever needed Improved
process flexibility wherever possible Improved
reporting to drive informed and appropriate management
action Reengineer
government client?s pharmacy system Migrate
systems technology and operational processes from dispensing
and labeling focus to patient care-centric focus Objectives: Integrating
inpatient and outpatient pharmacy care Integrating
on-site and off-site pharmacy care Integrating
pharmacy into the patient care team Integrating
inventory and supply management in patient healthcare Integrating
process management into patient healthcare Improving
order checks
Facilitating commercial
drug database Both
of these projects consist of challenging database and interface
development efforts to modernize legacy systems in order to provide
a higher level of patient care. SwRI is also well versed and capable of managing smaller projects with
short turn-around times, such as:
