COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 24, 2022 – Ventech Solutions, Inc. has been recognized in the 2022 FedHealthIT Innovation Awards for its support of the 1135 Waiver/Flexibility Request and Public Health Emergency Inquiry Helpdesk Tool for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Center for Clinical Standards and Quality (CCSQ).

Nominated and selected by a panel of current and former federal and industry leaders from across the federal IT sector, these programs are chosen for driving technology innovation and results within the federal health IT space.

“To be recognized for delivering an innovative technology solution that better serves our medical community and government in times of an emergency is quite an honor,” said Tonia Bleecher, Chief Executive Officer for Ventech Solutions. “We’re thrilled to be able to partner with our client and deliver a successful outcome and tool that solves a vital need to the public, and we congratulate CMS-CCSQ on the award.”

Using the ServiceNow platform and as a ServiceNow Premier level partner in sales, services and the public sector, Ventech Solutions developed a new publicly accessible web-based portal for submissions of 1135 waivers of the Social Security Act that are used in a disaster or emergency by hospitals, medical providers and state agencies.

Ventech Solutions also supports CMS by operating and maintaining CCSQ’s QualityNet website, which provides healthcare quality improvement news, resources and data reporting tools and applications used by healthcare providers, through the Health Care Quality Information Systems (HCQIS) Infrastructure and Data Center Support (HIDS) contract. CCSQ’s mission is to improve healthcare outcomes, beneficiary experience of care and population health, while reducing healthcare costs. Ventech Solutions leads design and development teams for ServiceNow, cloud computing, infrastructure automation and DevSecOps delivery. The QualityNet infrastructure and network support major application environments to collect clinical data and measure quality of care for CMS beneficiaries.

Ventech Solutions will join the awardees at the 8th Annual FedHealthIT Innovation Awards on June 7, 2022, in Washington, D.C.

Collecting and analyzing data is critical to gaining valuable insights into your business operations and evaluating the effectiveness of your processes. Similar to measuring operational activities, it is important to measure cloud infrastructure costs and efficiency metrics.

At Ventech Solutions, we’ve developed a collection of reports, along with supporting analysis, that make the management of AWS services simple and insightful. These reports get to the heart of your financial forecasting and planning and serve to drive better results over time. Our goal is to help clients develop better budgets and realize significant IT savings. Let’s have a look at some examples that could help your enterprise.

To begin with, we might like to understand our monthly cost changes for key service areas or just the top three cost movers. A simple way to see this is with our “top cost movers” report:

In the example above, we see moderate increases in RDS and S3 as well as an attempt to employ future cost savings. We recommend using reports like this to correlate increases or decreases in costs with strategic enterprise initiatives.

Below is a helpful report with drill down capabilities that begins with an understanding of where a budget is being allocated. To learn more about each area of IT spend, we can click on any item to see details behind the numbers:

We can also use artificial intelligence to forecast and plan for future costs based on trends and anticipated events. Here we see an example with the orange cone showing what might be expected in terms of cost ranges for the remainder of the year.  This forecasting will also help us plan next year’s budget:

Our Cloud Spend Summary report example below tracks monthly invoicing and infrastructure service spend, as well as discounts across accounts. We use this to validate previous planning assumptions compared with actual incurred costs.

Your growing enterprise requires innovative approaches to manage and reduce IT spend. At Ventech Solutions, we collaborate with each client, recognizing their unique business models. This understanding forms the basis for our customized reporting and cost modeling.
