With the ever increasing pressure to see successful implementation and adoption of digital health systems, without negative local or national press has never been greater. CTO’s and their budgets are under the spot light as demand for “Digital Health” services increases to be critical to the success of delivering modern patient healthcare.
Continuous change and rapid implementation and integration of complex healthcare platforms, old and new continually increase the risk of impacting key state health functions, increase production failures defect leakage. Whilst hospital based healthcare professionals are often required to spend time continuously supporting IT change projects rather than focusing upon the critical tasks of directly patient care.
CTO’s juggle a challenging ever shifting landscape, where improved digital business assurance is of paramount importance to manage risk, quality, cost and speed of delivering IT Change. PinnacleQM consultancy and services enable CTO’s and their IT teams to directly address these challenges and deliver effective and scalable quality healthcare transformation at speed without increasing risk. PinnacleQM do this by leveraging our international industry experience, providing our leading expertise, innovation and solutions that allow healthcare teams to achieve their desired digital health outcomes.

clinical healthcare teams
With the desire of on the ground healthcare professionals to use innovation in digital healthcare solutions to help reduce wasted time on administration over head and improve their day jobs and the one on one patient care that is so critical to the general public. However, the reality of many digital health programs is often the opposite, draining a large volumes of time of clinical teams to provide support, input and testing over many iterations before the implementation of IT changes are made.
PinnacleQM is often frustrated by many IT functions that see and deliver project with the view that obtaining the time of clinical teams is a way of getting free experienced end users that reduce the costs to their IT budges. PinnacleQM truly understands and has seen first hand that this time provided is precious and often patient and ward healthcare is often impacted… Every hour that clinical teams are engaged in IT change project means another hour that the teams are away from the ward delivering valuable patient care.
PinnacleQM works with and helps clinical teams to drive the time and effort burden of supporting IT projects down to as little as possible. PinnacleQM ensures that we use our experience, frameworks, IP, accelerators and AI automation platforms to drive the maximum value out of every hour with the clinical healthcare teams and that the IT change process as never wastes the time of these critical resources and minimised their time out from their important patient duties. In addition, our consultants work with healthcare teams to apply leading automation solutions to reduce time consuming repetitive administration tasks. This increases focus, time and effort on greater value direct patient care tasks and activities.

case studies
client challenge:
- Complex state wide interoperability program requires to replace their legacy integration platform for their entire portfolio of state wide healthcare systems
- Australian service providers struggle with technical complexity, and limited system experience to define a clear strategy to test and mitigate the programs risks
- Australian service providers estimate a dedicated test team of 40-46 for a project duration of 24 to 36mths
solution:
- Pinnacle us international healthcare and HL7 experience to define a unique client solution and delivery model using AI automation to accelerate all the programs testing and test process
- Automation of system UI transactions, SIT and business processes using Enginuity. HealthTest automated the HL7 test data process, validation of production and test HL7 messages, and the automatic creation and execution of HL7 message, API and service testing
client benefits:
- Pinnacle successfully completed all the programs testing with a dedicated team of 7 within duration of 12mths
- The healthcare client saved $10M+ from significantly reducing the overall program effort levels and durations
Overcoming sensitive healthcare
test data challenges
client challenge:
- 30 day HL7 production message batch on average takes 4 man weeks of effort to sort and prepare using traditional approach and tools
- Time and effort constraints, limit the ability to take production message batches and create comprehensive coverage with variant test conditions at volume for test
- In ability to consistently retain data integrity when using data masking
solution:
- HealthTest uses the latest advancements in Machine Learning and AI automation to understand and work with HL7 messages. HealthTest automated process sorts production messages by type and then obfuscates sensitive patient and doctors notes
- Smart obfuscation is used to ensure that returning/reoccurring patient data integrity is retained
client benefits:
- Significant time and effort savings – 4 man months of effort it is conducted within minutes as HealthTest automation sorts production message batches by type, and then applies smart obfuscation of each HL7 message
- Traditional quarterly test cycles are conducted via daily agile test and fix cycles, as HealthTest automates the physical test process, including that of automatic test script creation
Scale & intelligence to beat
traditional test data limitations
Client Challenge:
- Validation of a production volume day, 30, 60 or 90 day production periods within a scheduled test cycle
- Being able to validate these periods within a short agile test and fix cycle of one day
- Historical production data sets become invalid with production changes
- Validation of all message types and conditions
Solution:
- HealthTest scales its virtual tester capacity to be able to sort, obfuscate, create and execute millions of HL7 tests per day
- As HealthTest is creating test data and not reliant on historical production transactions it is able to validate real-time any production changes that would typically cause test data to fail
Client Benefits:
- Healthcare project teams mitigate risk from system change by being able to validate all production message types and conditions in real-world volumes
- Automatic test script creation ensure rapid creation of all valid, boundary and negative system conditions
- Removal of manual effort and automating the process not just the physical testing allows virtual testers to scale to provide scale and throughput not achievable using manual test teams and traditional tooling solutions
Client Challenge:
- Automation tooling support for new and legacy healthcare systems
- Traditional automation not able to support, UI, interface and e2e processes across multiple system technologies
- Large technical teams struggling to maintain the coded scripts inline with system changes
Solution:
