Acute Care Facility Selected Summit Healthcare for its Deep Expertise in Integrating Systems and its Strong MEDITECH Client Base

BRAINTREE, MA, May 20, 2010 -- Alice Hyde Medical Center has implemented technology from Summit Healthcare, a leader in healthcare system integration and task automation, to integrate its MEDHOST Emergency Department system with MEDITECH. Alice Hyde chose Summit Express Connect coupled with Summit Healthcare’s Outsourcing Services to give clinicians rapid access to critical patient data.

Alice Hyde Medical Center, a 76-bed acute care facility located in Malone, New York provides high-quality health care to the more than 45,000 residents in the North Country. The organization was looking to send its point to point interfaces through an engine so it could turn off redundant interfaces, leverage existing interfaces for other projects and utilize the alerting and monitoring features that an engine provides. Alice Hyde implemented Summit Express Connect, a robust interface engine used for both hospital and physician office EMR integration with 3rd party vendor systems. The company also contracted for Outsourcing Services for assistance in developing and managing interfaces.

“We were looking to quickly and cost-effectively leverage our existing interfaces and streamline information to all care givers, despite the fact that we were running two disparate systems,” said Joel Benware, chief information officer, Alice Hyde Medical Center. “The Summit Healthcare interface engine coupled with their professional services division allowed us to meet an aggressive deadline and stay within our budget. We look forward to a long partnership ahead with Summit Healthcare.”
