Six Steps to a Perfect Hospital App: Let’s Take Them Together
1
Planning stage
ScienceSoft’s business analysts elicit and analyze your hospital app requirements, plan and prioritize its features, define the project scope, delivery schedule, and a risk mitigation plan. At this stage, a solution architect designs hospital app architecture, and a regulatory consultant plans the compliance strategy.
2
Design stage
UX experts map out user journeys to make them more intuitive, and the UI team designs sleek interface elements to make the hospital app attractive for the target users.
3
Development stage
ScienceSoft’s experienced developers split the project into 2–4 week iterations and deliver a functional MVP with a set of priority features. Based on the user feedback and the pre-agreed scope of functionality to add, the team proceeds with frequent releases of new features until the MVP turns into a full-fledged app. At this stage, the app is also integrated with other hospital IT systems directly or via APIs.
4
Testing stage
In parallel with the hospital app development, our QA team conducts functional, integration, penetration, performance testing, as well as software compliance and vulnerability assessment.
5
Launch, support, and maintenance
After releasing the hospital app, ScienceSoft healthcare IT support team manages the performance of the app, proactively detects and fixes defects. If required, we also conduct regular security checks and updates, manage user access, and introduce minor functional adjustments.
6
Healthcare software evolution
When you decide that the hospital app doesn’t cover all the business needs anymore, ScienceSoft is here to help you introduce new features, upgrade old capabilities, integrate the app with the new elements of your IT ecosystem, etc.
How to protect your hospital app against security and compliance risks?
Improper security measures for a hospital app may jeopardize patient information and lead to HIPAA/GDPR penalties for healthcare providers and involved parties. To avoid it from the very start, we recommend choosing an IT vendor with practical experience in HIPAA, HITECH, GDPR, and other applicable data security regulations.
At ScienceSoft, we have 20+ years of experience in information security and ensure compliance by employing data encryption, data anonymization, data access control measures, and more. After the launch of your hospital app, we can perform regular vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and establish continuous system monitoring.
