Hospital Facilities Contracting Application
Reducing workload for contractors and approvers, and increasing productivity
Challenge
Our client identified a need to build an online contract management application based on the existing Access modules, which could streamline the contracting process and create a centralized, easily accessible, online location.
The purpose of this application is to be a single-source processing aid for the facility claim processors and to replace the need to review and interpret complicated hospital contracts in a series of complex and only partially-automated steps.

Solution
Step 1 – System Design
- Detailed analyses of the existing
(Access) solution, and reverse
engineering of that solution into the
Feature Specification documenting all
functionalities of the new app to be
built - Designing a new solution following
best practices in all areas, from the
UX/UI to the application security, and
documenting solution details in a
Technical Design document - Creating a completely functional
prototype that enabled the client’s
team to further analyze
Step 2 – Application Development
- Using the prototype as a starting point,
Vicert developed an application that
centralized every aspect of the
contracting process into one easily
accessible online location. - The development followed predefined
coding standards and enforced
security constraints defined during the
design phase.
benefits
- The application streamlines the contracting
process, making human resource operations more
efficient, thus reducing the organization’s workload
for contractors and approvers. - As such, the retrieval, storage and maintenance of
all hospital contracts in various locations is less
time-consuming and more efficient. - Our app also eliminated issues with multiple users
in the Access application, thus increasing
productivity for the client.
