Power Apps for Healthcare Industry: Delivered a Fully Functional App in Just Weeks

Quick Overview: Discover how Naxtre built a HIPAA-compliant healthcare PowerApps solution in just 14 days. View real-world examples, simplified workflows, less admin overhead, and a way to decrease patient care time - demonstrating how low-code solutions empower healthcare teams to provide faster, safer, and more effective care.
Two weeks. That's all it took to transform how a healthcare provider provided care to thousands of patients.

It all started with a big problem. A large healthcare provider found it hard to use fragmented digital tools and old paper methods. Patient intake took too long, reports were everywhere, and every delay meant people waited longer for the care they needed. For teams working so hard, not only was this frustrating, it was also dangerous.
Generally, developing a secure, compliant, and fully-connected healthcare app takes three to six months. Industry data has shown that 78% of healthcare software projects run late—mostly due to difficult compliance documentation and outdated connections to legacy systems. However, this healthcare provider simply didn't have the luxury of time. 

That's when they called Naxtre. They leveraged Naxtre's 10+ years of experience and expertise in developing tailored healthcare solutions.
Our team utilized the Microsoft PowerApps platform and our Low Code/No Code Center of Excellence to create and deploy a HIPAA-compliant solution for a healthcare provider in just 14 days. There were no lengthy coding phases, no delays, and everything was strategically delivered on agile principles, building on years of health software experience. 
And the results were just as fast:
- A 42% quicker patient processing time for patients
- A 35% amount of less administrative work experienced by the healthcare provider
- Real-time access to the data front line teams need to deliver care.

This wasn't just another technology project - it was a lifeline. In less than two weeks, we had delivered low code healthcare applications with the provider, removed pain points of legacy workflows, and restored focus on delivering healthcare - saving lives! In this blog, you will see exactly how Naxtre tackled the project, walk through some of the challenges, and understand why using HIPAA-compliant PowerApps was the key to achieving rapid iterative results while maintaining quality.  Because in healthcare, every minute matters, and in 14 days, everything can change.

Why Microsoft Power Platform Should Be Considered for Healthcare

Digital transformation is critical to the healthcare landscape today. Microsoft PowerApps is an exemplary technology of how this is accomplished.
PowerApps is a platform that allows individuals to create powerful, professional applications with minimal coding experience.
In fact, those without technical ability can easily create business apps that work right out of the box. PowerApps is like a Lego set, you drag, drop and connect pieces, bringing your vision to reality without the need to wait layers of time and development for your app.

PowerApps also allows healthcare professionals to take an active role in building the apps that they need to be successful, rather than having to endure a long development process.
PowerApps also allows healthcare providers to build secure and compliant apps that can be delivered with a great degree of velocity. PowerApps turns urgent needs into working solutions without requiring months of long development.  Now let us examine why PowerApps is a perfect match for the health care landscape.

Faster Deployment

Utilize HIPAA-compliant PowerApps developed in days, not months.
This enables healthcare providers to solve urgent workflow pain points quickly, as Naxtre was able to do in 14 days.

Low Code/No Code Platform Accessibility

You do not need to know coding to use low code or no code platforms.
This allows non-technical users, such as administrators or nurses, to build and modify apps completely independent of coding knowledge. It further reduces the burden on IT and enables more rapid innovation from within care teams.  

Seamless Microsoft Integration

The Microsoft PowerApps platform easily integrates with Teams, SharePoint, Power BI, and Dynamics 365.
This facilitates enterprise workflow automation that works well within existing healthcare systems and EHR platforms.

Embedded Compliance

PowerApps is embedded with security and compliance tools that are out of the box. This enables healthcare organizations to easily comply with regulations such as HIPAA, GDPR, and other laws without much manual setup of such features.

Scalable and Flexible

Power Apps allows hospitals and clinics with different networks, to scale and pivot quickly without the need to completely redesign their systems.

Can You Learn to Build a Fully Functional, HIPAA-Compliant Healthcare App in 14 Days?

At first glance, the suggestion that you might build a fully functional HIPAA-compliant healthcare application in as little as 14 days could be mistaken for a marketing claim, but with current low-code and no-code development platforms like Microsoft PowerApps and a structured development methodology, it is in fact not only possible, but imperative as emerging healthcare technology development trends. 
Low-code platforms come with built-in components and integrations like Microsoft 365 or EHR systems. The low-code platforms support development as they allow users to build applications using off-the-shelf tools and integrations.Repository Repository Repository Repository Repository 
Development practices have evolved, promoting faster deployment. The ability to maintain security standards in an increasingly complex world of global security and compliance like SAC and HIPAA, means the need for extensive coding experience will become less relevant.

In conclusion, low-code and no-code platforms leverage existing development resources to improve compliance and reduce development time, providing definitive competitive advantage in the healthcare technology development environment.

How Naxtre Delivered a Healthcare PowerApps Solution at Record Speed

Naxtre's healthcare PowerApps solution was rapidly drawn to completion through their use of the following combination of measures: 
  • Custom Accelerators: Their Microsoft PowerApps consultants customized care modules for the application, set up HIPAA-compliant templates, and incorporated security connection processes.  This saved up to 70% in app development time! 
  • Agile Software Development: Their PowerApps developers worked in two-week sprints, met each day, and were able to make frequent updates to the application whenever necessary. This means that the solution was changing and being improved in real-time during the solution development. 
  • Expert Powerapps consultants: They have lots of experience in healthcare and the Power platform. They understand compliance, workflow issues, and how to architect the solution so that it can grow in scope from the start. 
So what does this all mean? 
Their process to coordinate and develop in such an efficient way enabled the solution to be delivered in just a couple of weeks instead of many months, without cutting any major corners. 
As a competent Microsoft PowerApps development firm, Naxtre established a new platform that reduced patient turnover time by 42% in less time than a board meeting facilitator could plan for the upcoming meeting.

Before Naxtre’s PowerApps Solution

  • Patient Intake Time: 35 to 40 minute process for each patient 
  • Data Entry Errors: Many errors due to people entering the same data multiple times by hand
  • Reporting Delays: Information was uploaded at the end of the day all at once, so care teams were often looking at older information
