Health IT Transformation


Macannie's leadership team comes with a long history of serving Federal health departments by applying practical innovations that advance health care research and improve health care outcomes.

Through infusing in-depth understandings of our federal customers' mission with industry innovations and academic research, Macannie has built a successful track record of helping our customers, including the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and Defense medical logistics agency. Our Health domain expertise covers data integration, interoperability, and analytics.

Our vision is to be an effective connector for our Federal health customers to expedite their missions.

Data Transformation


The Macannie Data Transformer (MDT) is a process, toolset and mindset designed to ingest varied types of data from a wide variety of sources. Our MDT approach allows our engineering teams to quickly create a process to transform data into industry standard formats and enable automation (such as FHIR and other emerging health data standards). Our approach can implement complex validation requirements, assess data quality, and transform and integrate large data storage.

To make use of big data, and provide our clients with data analytic products, data quality and a consistent data format are essential. Typically, data from varied sources is maintained in a wide range of formats. Ingesting data from varied sources is a challenge. It can be time consuming and require significant manual effort.

Macannie has developed a Data Transformation platform using open source tools, which can eliminate time-consuming data transformation tasks and provide an easy, automated data conversion and data integration tool set. Our data transformer is fully scalable, capable of being applied to small, medium, and enterprise level data sets, quickly and efficiently.

Digital Services Transformation


Digital transformation is a journey, tailored to each client's current state and what they want to achieve. As with everything Macannie does, our approach starts with the business need. We then make recommendations for new and emerging technology, focusing on Open Source first.

Human Centered-Design


As healthcare has always been considered vital for the well-being and safety of people, Macannie is dedicated to instilling Human-Centered Design (HCD) to truly engage with and solve our customer's challenges throughout the IT development and support lifecycle.

Our HCD Team has been successfully helped customers such as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and other federal health agencies redesign and modernize critical healthcare systems.

Macannie's HCD approach has two differentiators: first is our All-Team approach. In addition to the HCD team leading the research and design effort, all development and support team members are instilled with HCD principles. We understand that HCD should be an integral and critical part of the IT development and support lifecycle and will continue to drive the performance of business systems.

Our 2nd differentiator is our Adaptive Business approach. We combine our experience and understanding of working with federal health agencies with the best industry practices in HCD. We understand that our customers are unique in their missions, business, and technical environments and needs. Our empathy-driven approach is based on our years of working with the customers, our in-depth business knowledge, and continuous lessons-learned and improvements.

As a result, we have been able to help customers transform their outcomes in their unique business and technical environments.

AI / ML and RPA Transformation


Macannie uses techniques, strategies, and tools to take advantage of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Natural Language Processing (NLP) and deep learning (DL) to support healthcare and public health programs. Our projects give the right set of tools to our clients, allowing them to make informed medical or business decisions quickly, with the goal of ultimately improving patient outcomes. Our analytic projects provide insight into healthcare providers, cost containment, and operational improvements and efficiencies.

Macannie's business process automation team, led by architects and senior engineers, empowers our customers with various Robotics Process Automation (RPA) tools, such as Pega, or, open-sources technologies for custom-designed and developed case management workflows,to automate business transactions and significantly improves business performance and results.

Infrastructure Transformation


IT infrastructure empowers data centers and private or public clouds. Macannie works with our clients to transform and modernize their infrastructure; creating strategies, roadmaps, and technology recommendations. Our approach includes:

Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Provision and management of infrastructure through machine-readable definition files, managing, and provisioning computer data centers through machine-readable definition files.

Site Reliability Engineering (SRE): Addresses Infrastructure and Operations in the same way we approach software engineering - by focusing on automation and adopting new approaches to take a holistic approach to support and improve a system.

Immutable Infrastructure: Establish VM/servers with a common image, which does not need to be modified after deployment. When a device needs to be replaced or updated, a new VM built from a common image can take its place.
