Verification & Validation

Proven Independent Verification and Validation Methodologies

Our management team brings over 60 years of combined experience in healthcare management and technology solutions with proven processes and control systems for Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V).  Our depth of technical knowledge combined with our healthcare industry expertise and industry leading traceability solutions makes us uniquely qualified to serve as the independent body to many healthcare organizations, medical practices and software integrators.

Our IV&V methodologies include proven processes and controls that ensure all aspects of any system are properly verified and validated for their intended use.  We assign a dedicated team to each IV&V engagement who serve as the key members of the independent Project Management Office (PMO) or Project Control Office (PCO).  Our use of Trace IT software allows us to automate the IV&V process with detailed tracking and reporting for any systems, MMIS traceability or CMS Certification.
