CINCINNATI, Sept. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Streamline Health
Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: STRM) a leading provider of document
workflow solutions for hospitals, today announced that Nassau
University Medical Center in East Meadow,
New York, will expand its software licensing arrangement to
include Streamline Health's Enterprise Health Information
Management (HIM) Suite of workflows. Streamline Health's Suite of
HIM workflows will improve operating efficiencies, offer
productivity gains, and promote physician satisfaction by utilizing
the Company's Online Chart Completion workflow solution through the
integration with Nassau University Medical Center's Clinical
Information System. By seamlessly integrating with the medical
center's existing Eclipsys® Sunrise Clinical Manager™ (SCM),
Streamline Health's solution will provide added functionality, a
greater return on investment on the dollars invested by the Medical
Center in its clinical information system, and a high rate of
adoption by hospital personnel.
Currently, Nassau University Medical Center utilizes Streamline
Health's accessANYware™ solution to provide enterprise access to a
patient's document-based medical and financial records. The
expansion of Streamline Health's HIM Suite of workflows will help
bridge the gap between Nassau University Medical Center's
document-based repository and clinical data provided by their
healthcare information systems, creating a more robust solution
that offers access to, and completion of, the entire medical record
from one user interface regardless of the origination of
information – paper or electronic, internal or external.
Ronald A. Tomo, vice
president and chief information officer of Nassau University
Medical Center commented, "Streamline Health provided our
organization the opportunity to integrate our paper-based
documents, record management processing and online chart completion
within our existing Sunrise Clinical Manager information system.
From the Eclipsys SCM user interface, Streamline's solutions will
permit physicians to access electronic medical records, signed
orders and transcribed reports, obtain results, view scanned
documents and sign/annotate documents anytime, anywhere. The result
is an enterprise workflow for the complete electronic health record
in a single user interface, which will increase patient safety,
improve quality of care and provide operational efficiencies."
"We are excited about the opportunity to provide Nassau
University Medical Center with solutions that increase efficiency
and productivity, as well as integrate with the hospital's current
Clinical Information System," said J. Brian
Patsy, president and CEO of Streamline Health. "Our
solutions will help enhance the Hospital's business processes and
increase productivity by improving the flow of patient information
and empower users to make care-focused and cost-effective
decisions. Ultimately, our solutions will result in cost savings
for Nassau University Medical Center by offering one secure
location for users to access the complete electronic medical
record."
