The goal was clear: deliver an ergonomic, space-saving technology platform that could be standardized and deployed across the entire organization without disrupting day-to-day patient care.Derive Healthcare managed every phase of the engagement, from initial workflow and technology inventory assessments through pre-configuration, staging, installation, and post-deployment testing.
