It is an understatement in the least to say that facilitating high level, high impact Maternal Child and Family Health information systems is a challenge in the new, lean economy. If the development, implementation and business models for providing effective systems used in the past were silo based, overpriced and overstaffed, then these models will have no place in a time where success in the new economy is defined by “thin” high performance inter-operable technology innovation. On many levels information technology has become inflated and self-limiting or completely inaccessible to organizations that so critically need it now more than ever. The reality is that, given the current economic challenges where there are substantially less resources than in the past and a growing population to be served, it is imperative that innovative and affordable information technology solutions be accessible to MCH organizations.

MCH organizations are most successful when they work with information systems developers and service providers that not only are capable of delivering the technology, but that understand and advocate the mission of advancing MCH programs. This means that IT partners must do everything necessary to make sure that the cost of developing and providing information technology aligns with the pace of the new, lean economy. GO BEYOND is proud of our long standing track record based on this approach to solutions development and implementation.

GO BEYOND is committed to finding ways to do all of this better, cheaper and with a firmer commitment to being a long term stakeholder with our MCH partners. When taking this approach, information technology no longer is inflated, cumbersome, and unreachable, but instead becomes an effective and progressive tool to make the difference in the lives of those that we all serve.
