CINCINNATI, Feb. 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Streamline Health
Solutions, Inc. (NasdaqCM: STRM), a leading provider of enterprise
content management and business analytics solutions for healthcare
organizations, today announced that UC Health, a national leader in
healthcare and a long-term Streamline Health client, has signed an
agreement to expand its use of Streamline Health's solutions into
three facilities. The facilities will also integrate Streamline
Health's solutions with the system's Electronic Medical Records
(EMR) system through Streamline Health's Integration Suite for Epic
EMR.
UC Health has successfully used Streamline Health's
AccessAnyWare® content management system and HIM Suite workflows in
its flagship facility, University Hospital, and in its newest
hospital, West Chester Hospital. The system has contracted to
expand the use of AccessAnyWare into three additional facilities:
University of Cincinnati Physicians,
Cincinnati's largest and most
distinguished group of board-certified physicians practicing in
every medical and surgical specialty; the Drake Center, the
region's premier provider of long-term acute care; and the
University Pointe Surgical Hospital, focused exclusively on
inpatient and outpatient surgeries.
By utilizing AccessAnyWare across the healthcare enterprise, UC
Health facilities will now be able to move away from a paper-based
medical record to an electronic record that can integrate
seamlessly with the EMR system. This will allow physicians and
other staff to securely and quickly access complete patient
information from virtually anywhere within the health system.
"Our solutions are designed to work enterprise-wide and UC
Health's expansion of our solutions across the enterprise proves
their value to our long-term clients," said Robert E. Watson, president and chief executive
officer of Streamline Health. "Today's healthcare systems are
increasingly made up of hospitals, ambulatory care centers,
physician practices, and other healthcare facilities, making the
need for enterprise solutions like ours even greater. We are happy
UC Health has continued its partnership with our Company and has
expanded its use of our solutions."
"Ensuring that every one of our physicians and members of our
staff has electronic access to up-to-date and complete patient
information at all times is a major advancement for our health
system," said Jay Brown, chief
information officer, UC Health. "Solutions like these are an
important part of offering the highest quality, state-of-the-art
medical treatment and care, and we're excited to be able to expand
our use of them enterprise-wide."
