Budding entrepreneurs? Yes, that’s an apt description for New Rochelle High School students who represented the school in the African American Men of Westchester (AAMW) Business Skills Olympics.
Alexander Ciriaco, Abigail Demosthene, Chelsea Demosthene, Jasmine Gonzales, Fatima Gonzalez, Mazal Mills, Wuilson Rosales Perez, and Adrianna Smith, who are juniors and seniors, competed with rival schools by presenting a case study solution focused on digital transformation. Their plan integrated and digitized operations in health care.
The students crafted a solution intended to hit specific “key performance indicators” such as saving money, saving time, and increasing customer satisfaction. Their solution: Create a centralized interactive kiosk system to streamline communication between medical offices and pharmacies. This innovative approach would reduce payroll expenses, quickly share medical information with other firms and provide consumers with more privacy protection. The interactive kiosks would operate 24/7 and offer patients multiple prescription options so they can choose an option that best fits their budget.
The solutions-driven exercise mirrors the ever-evolving state of health care, which in recent years has seen care advance through technology.
