Differentiators

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

While EHRs offers integration tools, achieving seamless data exchange, particularly with non-EHR systems, can be challenging due to their limited interoperability.

This can create communication hurdles between providers using different EHRs, healthcare facilities not on a particular EHR, and providers who need to integrate with other advanced technology platforms outside of the EHR ecosystem.

TQA's solutions can integrate with any platform and are independent of particular products or technologies. This affords our teams unlimited creativity when ideating custom solutions for each healthcare organization.

Differentiators vs Competitors:

TQA has a practice that is dedicated exclusively to healthcare and life sciences. This is unique among our UiPath competitors, who serve multiple industry verticals.

A UiPath Platinum partner, TQA is recognized as a leading systems integrator with more than 20 years' experience in working with some of the world's best known providers, payers, diagnostics, and life sciences organizations.

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:
  • Internal Resource Pool Management: Built in and prioritized vs rare or requiring work arounds
  • Credentialing & Compliance: Integrated & Automated vs Siloed or Manual
  • End-to-End Workflow: True lifecycle coverage vs. fragmented systems
  • Rate Transparency: Centralized and enforceable vs manual or vendor-controlled
Differentiators vs Competitors:
  • Ringo is purpose-built focused on Healthcare ONLY vs General or Cross-Industry
  • Ringo supports expense billing for independent contractors vs systems limited to w2 engagements or require work arounds to bill expenses
  • Ringo is Vendor Neutral providing 100% unbiased taent delivery vs platforms managed by competitors operating staffing agencies and competing with their own vendors
  • Ringo can implement quickly with $0 startup costs vs. competitors who often take months and charge costly implementation fees
  • At Ringo WE DO MORE!
