AAMI

The AAMI staff are committed to:

• Supporting the efforts of their members to improve patient care by advancing the safety and effectiveness of health technology.
• Sharing information openly and effectively, to value the multifaceted nature of their community.
• Serving their community with superior ethical and professional standards.
• Fostering a trusting and inclusive environment that respects each individual while encouraging collaborations.
• Providing the highest level of quality in everything they do.

Solution

Orases built a new web-based application scoring tool featuring a questionnaire divided into 11 categories. Each category contains three to five questions that contribute to the category’s overall score and an algorithm applicable to that category.

Upon completion of the assessment, there is a summary page with a score for each category with the lowest scored category highlighted. The overall score will be the lowest category score. The assessment is access-controlled to existing AAMI members and to non-members who opt to purchase the assessment.

The self-assessment also provides instructional content to help the users create a roadmap for future development and movement toward higher levels. Departments that score at Level 5 in all categories are programs that demonstrate best practices in HTM.

Process

This project was noted in the SOW as using Agile methodology to define and develop. However, AAMI had provided a thorough requirements document upfront, and we had a lean team (no BA on the project). We (DPM Trista, Developer Vlad, BD Ray) collaborated with AAMI on the remaining requirements and once signoff was received, we developed a more Hybrid method. We developed on a rolling basis, meeting with the client once a week to show and discuss progress.
