Healthcare services is an often-overlooked domain that has been rapidly expanding in recent times given the rising healthcare costs, increased IT spending, and modifications and advancements in network connectivity and infrastructure. There are a few interesting companies within this domain, particularly within the sub-domain of EHR (electronic health records) software solutions that are witnessing excellent growth and have immense future potential but are trading at ridiculously low valuations. Our small-cap pick for the day is one such player which is primarily an EHR solutions provider to the fast-growing behavioral health domain – InnovaQor, Inc. (OTCPK:VMCS). Apart from EHR, the company has a wide range of compelling offerings including plans to create a social media platform that could change the face of hiring within the healthcare industry. Let us have a closer look and evaluate its worthiness as an investment opportunity.

The Medical Mime Offering
Medical Mime, one of InnovaQor's key products, offers best-in-class patient lifecycle management for behavioral health/ substance abuse treatment facilities with its powerful yet efficient EMR (electronic medical records) software. InnovaQor has invested $20 million to develop this class-leading Software and it shows. Medical Mime seamlessly integrates into a user's everyday routine, from pre-admission to billing and post-admission care. C-Suite and executive users may identify gaps immediately, monitor operational effectiveness, and make wise decisions regarding the general state of the business. Users of this software can oversee a patient's care throughout their lifespan, making it possible to review the most recent data on each patient. Without too many clicks through and windows, it can change the level of attention. Users can further access the facility's preloaded basic forms to update or maintain documentation and care level. The system allows users to check the missing documents or signatures, diagnosis, suggested actions, etc., and provides automated warnings to ensure patient care punctuality. Additionally, users of Medical Mime can monitor patients' vital signs and track their development over time to determine the effectiveness of their treatment. The software includes the COWs (Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale) and CIWA (Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment of Alcohol Scale) to automatically assess the intensity of withdrawal and to recognize trends. Their simple calendars for group or solo sessions take the effort out of group scheduling, allowing users to easily plan, hold, and record their sessions in one place.

HTS Offerings
InnovaQor's specialized IT services for healthcare institutions include Healthcare Technology Solutions, or HTS, which support customers' business activities in the healthcare industry. The company offers two types of HTS services – HTS vCIO and HTS Qira. HTS vCIO, or Virtual Chief Information Officer services. The HTS vCIO primarily provides healthcare facilities with one-stop, specialized IT services, enhancing business operations and encouraging sustainable growth. Infrastructure management is at the core of their offerings. With the aid of HTS' vCIO services, businesses may access best-in-class managed IT and cloud solutions without the headaches of managing an internal workforce. If companies have a comprehensive, up-to-date picture of their hardware and software assets, they can deploy resources for IT infrastructure quickly. Besides, vCIO makes it possible to estimate asset obsolescence and purchase software licenses, hardware and software updates, and upgrades for future requirements. The solution also integrates a number of technologies to offer a high degree of business continuity. It aims to simplify users' IT management duties and turn the relationship from a transactional commercial transaction into a partnership. They further offer comprehensive HIPAA certification and training for key staff. HTS vCIO assists companies in analyzing and managing IT risks helping them identify and address IT infrastructure problems. Nevertheless, businesses are a prime target for cyber security breaches due to their abundance of important invoicing and medical data. HTS vCIO evaluates security profiles and systems and provides the best security guidance to protect customer and business data.
On the other hand, InnovaQor's second offering HTS Qira analytics, links data from several departments to improve reporting, services, and financial health. Complex information becomes relevant to end users of all skill levels because of Qira's engaging, easy-to-read visual displays. Standard reports are more analytically capable due to their formats and strong data-slicing processes. In addition, Qira offers easy drill-through from high-level summaries to line-item granularity. The purpose-built dashboards from Qira were carefully considered and chosen as they were created for daily use in the healthcare business. This technology also enables users to connect utilizing various platforms on any web-connected device from anywhere. Furthermore, Qira utilizes Microsoft's PowerBI platform to travel with users and make user data accessible wherever they are. Therefore, it is a beneficial tool for the healthcare sector.
Collaboration Platform For Physicians
InnovaQor is looking towards the future of medicine and has begun developing a global collaboration platform for Physicians, building a networking, knowledge-sharing, and hiring mechanism similar to LinkedIn. Although there are about 15 million doctors worldwide, World Health Organization estimates a global shortage of 4.3 million doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers. This scarcity affects many wealthy economies, which opens doors for platforms that help healthcare institutions search for employees and physicians looking to relocate. Through this platform, InnovaQor will focus largely on physician groups, facilities, and associations seeking advocacy through the bigger governing bodies at a member-exclusive discount. The core software will utilize the freemium business model and require a monthly subscription. As LinkedIn has demonstrated, there is a need for more access, information, and connectivity, all of which come with a monthly premium access charge. LinkedIn's statistics also demonstrate that individuals are willing to pay $30 while businesses are willing to pay $60 for these services. Therefore, InnovaQor can undoubtedly generate significant revenues from its market. On the other hand, its Talent Search Subscription program is projected to disrupt the market by applying AI for pairing based on user profile optimization. It is worth highlighting that today, job market giants like Monster and Indeed are replaced by LinkedIn's Talent Solutions function, which accounts for nearly two-thirds of LinkedIn’s revenues. LinkedIn charges around $2400 annually for the "Lite" version and around $9,000 for the full Enterprise edition. Healthcare professionals should be willing to pay extra because InnovaQor uses an industry-specific business model, just like premium membership. The management further believes that significant pharmaceutical companies will find the platform appealing for advertising to interested industry audiences. Thus, InnovaQor may end up making this new platform a strong revenue earner for the company.
