STRM Streamline Health Solutions Inc

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."
