The client is a mid‑sized regional hospital serving both inpatient and outpatient populations across cardiology, oncology, and emergency departments. Similar to CBI Health’s migration of over 500 on‑premise servers and virtual machines, our client managed hundreds of servers and legacy applications in a complex, on‑premises environment, making maintenance and upgrades a full‑time burden for their IT team.
They relied on separate proprietary systems for EHR, laboratory, and billing functions, creating data silos and requiring manual CSV exports and reconciliations between applications.
Challenges Faced by the Client
Before working with us, the client was struggling with major Health IT issues:
- Maintaining legacy servers and mainframe‑style platforms diverted time, money, and personnel away from core clinical priorities.
- An issue echoed in large academic hospitals, spending nearly $1 million annually on mainframe maintenance before cloud adoption.
- Multiple vendor‑specific EHR and middleware licenses carried steep, recurring fees.
- Hospitals moving to cloud‑hosted environments often report 40–60% lower IT costs compared to traditional on‑premise setups.
- Routine administrative tasks, such as patient reminders, claims status checks, and report generation, were entirely manual, consuming dozens of staff hours per week.
- Similar EHR SaaS deployments have shown potential for a 40% reduction in administrative overhead once automated workflows are in place.
What We Offered
Cloud‑Native OpenEMR Deployment
- We containerized OpenEMR with Docker and deployed it on AWS EKS, fully eliminating on‑premise hardware and associated maintenance.
- Designed department‑specific namespaces to enable data separation while sharing a unified platform.
Custom EHR/EMR & API Integrations
- Built HL7 v2 and FHIR RESTful APIs to integrate lab, pharmacy, and billing systems in real time, eradicating manual CSV transfers.
- Developed plug‑in templates for oncology infusion workflows and emergency department triage checklists.
Automation & DevOps
- Implemented Jenkins pipelines with automated unit and integration tests, enabling zero‑downtime blue/green deployments.
- Used Terraform to version‑control cloud resources, networking, RDS instances, IAM roles, and monitoring stacks.
Telehealth & Mobile Extensions
- Deployed a HIPAA‑compliant WebRTC telehealth service directly in the patient portal.
- Delivered iOS/Android apps with offline sync and token‑based authentication to support bedside charting.
Post‑Implementation Benefits
After partnering up with CapMinds, our client has experienced numerous benefits and significantly reduced HealthIT costs:
- Eliminated three legacy EHR licenses, aligning with industry cases showing 40% administrative cost savings after automation. Removed all physical servers, mirroring CBI Health’s cloud cost savings and modernized infrastructure.
- Patient reminders, lab order checks, and claims follow‑up run on scheduled jobs, freeing up 30+ staff hours weekly. New feature rollouts are now complete in under an hour, versus multiple weeks previously.
- Centralized logs and alerts via CloudWatch and ELK stack reduced mean time to resolution by 50%. Clinician support requests dropped by over 60% thanks to a single, user‑friendly interface.
- Clinicians access charting, orders, and telehealth in one session, cutting documentation time by 20%. Bedside and remote charting increased clinician efficiency, boosting patient engagement and satisfaction.
By leveraging a fully digital, cloud‑first approach, combining OpenEMR migration, API‑driven integrations, and robust DevOps practices, we helped the hospital slash its IT overhead by 40%, reallocate resources to patient care, and achieve a more resilient, future‑ready infrastructure.
