Architecting Cloud-Based CPQ Solutions for Healthcare Enterprise Transformation: A Framework for Medical Device Sales and Compliance

Abstract

The complexity of the products, emerging provider needs, and exclusive regulatory systems have made it challenging to sell and configure medical devices in the healthcare medical device industry. Systems of medical imaging and surgical kits require significant customization meant to be adapted to the specific requirements of a clinical setting, which introduces complexity to configuration, which conventional methods fail to adapt to. Cloud Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) has dramatic potential in transforming healthcare organizations, like the ability to configure medical devices with accuracy, efficiency, and in a compliant way. This architectural framework targets integration with Electronic Health Records, mechanisms of data flows, validating compliance, and security challenges, and gives advice on how to implement it by healthcare technology executives. The framework involves theoretical assumptions, architectural patterns, integration mechanisms, and implementation strategies that facilitate healthcare organizations in contemporary environments.
