I Help FHIR Projects Succeed
I’ve seen FHIR problems that cost millions to fix. Problems that lead to missed deadlines, unmet expectations and product failures. The cause is often poor technical or business decisions around FHIR.
It Doesn’t Have to Be This Way
Learn by the mistakes of others instead of making your own. Spot problems early when they’re still cheap to fix. Work with someone who’s been there and done that.
That’s where I come in. I’m Darren Devitt and I’ve worked on FHIR projects for companies like Olympus, Optum and BCG. I’ve worked with start-ups, with multi-nationals and with national programs on their FHIR projects. I help organizations like yours avoid costly FHIR mistakes and I help deliver FHIR projects on time.
I am 100% independent. I have no commercial relationship with any vendor or company you work with or depend upon. My advice is unbiased.
I specialize in “real world” FHIR projects that deliver real world value.
Work With Me
I’ll help you at the beginning of your project as you work to get the basics right. I’ll help you with architectural decisions as you set the project’s direction. I’ll help you throughout the course of your project as you polish it and deliver a finished product.
My expertise and experience will help you avoid costly mistakes and help you deliver your FHIR project the right way, on track and on time.
“Darren’s ability to translate complex FHIR concepts into actionable guidance for our development team was invaluable. Any organization working on healthcare data exchange or FHIR implementation would benefit greatly from Darren’s expertise.”
– Paul Urban (Lead Platform Solution Architect at Olympus)
“Darren’s advice about FHIR topics have been extremely helpful in our company where we live and breathe FHIR each day.”
– Heather Capel (LEAD North, LLC)
Companies Hire Me Because I Prevent Problems
Here’s what can happen to “real world” FHIR projects.
- They take twice as long as planned (12 month delays are normal)
- They cost much more than expected (seven figure cost overruns are common)
- They don’t scale (leading to expensive rewrites at the eleventh hour)
- They switch FHIR server provider (because they made the wrong decision 18 months earlier)
- Major redesigns half way through (because no one knew what to build to start with)
- Project & technical leadership changes (someone gets blamed)
The reason for this: Most teams have never implemented a big FHIR project before. They don’t know what they don’t know and they make one mistake after another.
What I do: I prevent this from happening. I know where FHIR projects go wrong and I know how to fix them when they do. But most importantly, involving me early prevents these projects from going wrong to begin with.
