Background

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's (AHRQ) mission is to improve the quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of health care for all Americans.

AHRQ works to fulfill its mission by conducting and supporting health services research, both within AHRQ as well as in leading academic institutions, hospitals, physicians' offices, health care systems, and many other settings across the country. The Agency has a broad research portfolio that touches on nearly every aspect of health care.

Requirements

AHRQ needed additional infrastructure support and ad-hoc development for their Portal. As the role developed, this later encompassed migrations to newer releases of software and recommendations on keeping up to date with the best viable solutions.

Our Approach

We decided to decommission the Web CenterInteraction portal and adopt open-source technology and transition from the existing infrastructure to an offsite third-party group.

End Result

Reduced contract costs and increased overall consultant responsiveness as compared to Oracle Services. Reduced lifetime operating overhead in recommending viable open-source alternative over on-going maintenance fees and effective architecture solutions to optimize both performance and costs.
