CDW Healthcare, part of the public sector subsidiary of CDW
Corporation (NASDAQ:CDWC), and a leading provider of technology
products and services to healthcare organizations, today announced
that Clearwater Cardiovascular and Interventional Consultants,
M.D., P.A., Clearwater, Fla.; Summit Medical Group, P.A., Berkeley
Heights, N.J.; and Texas Gulf Coast Medical Group, LLC, Houston,
Texas, have partnered with CDW Healthcare to provide technology
infrastructure solutions that support the organizations� digital
healthcare initiatives designed to improve delivery of care. �The
adoption of PACS1 and EMR2 systems and their underlying IT
infrastructures represents a significant investment in time and
capital for a physician practice,� said Bob Rossi, director of CDW
Healthcare. �Delivering a return on that investment requires a
solid understanding of both the technology and its healthcare
applications. CDW Healthcare is uniquely positioned to provide
technology expertise and options around the IT infrastructures that
support advanced PACS and EMR implementations.� Clearwater
Cardiovascular Implements All-In-One PACS Storage Network
Clearwater Cardiovascular and Interventional Consultants, a
specialty practice focusing on cardiovascular medicine, selected
CDW Healthcare to help it create a comprehensive storage solution
for the organization�s PACS system. Today, the organization has the
ability to store all images on a centralized, secure network,
enabling rapid access to critical images and ensuring data
redundancy and survivability. Clearwater had purchased a digital
echocardiogram system with limited storage. The practice required a
storage solution that could support digital echocardiograms as well
as other modalities moving forward with limited manual
intervention. Clearwater worked with CDW Healthcare to select EMC
Centera as the foundation for its PACS storage solution. �Our CDW
Healthcare account team brought a deep knowledge of storage vendors
as well as a solid understanding of our unique requirements,� said
Connie Kleber, chief information officer, Clearwater Cardiovascular
and Interventional Consultants. �The CDW Healthcare team was very
good about handling even the smallest issues with EMC, freeing me
to work on the internal processes and change management required
for a successful implementation.� To ensure data redundancy, the
practice implemented a mirrored storage system, with the primary
PACS storage system located in the organization�s Clearwater office
and the mirrored system in a satellite office. This configuration
streamlines HIPAA compliance by eliminating the need to transport
back-up tapes. Redundancy also offers another layer of safety in
the hurricane-prone region. Summit Medical Group Implements an
Organization-wide PACS Solution Summit Medical Group, a
multi-specialty practice that uses a team approach for the
evaluation and management of medical conditions, worked with CDW
Healthcare to design and implement a unified storage infrastructure
for the practice�s PACS platform. Today, Summit is improving
patient care with its PACS implementation, which allows more rapid
access to images and ensures their sustainability. It is also
moving toward becoming a paperless environment for imaging,
allowing Summit�s physicians to work more effectively and
efficiently by accessing images when they need them rather than
waiting for a film delivery. Summit�s PACS system, which is built
on EMC storage technology, is live and running for multiple
modalities, including general x-ray, computerized axial tomography
(CAT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound and more.
In addition to the storage component, Summit also purchased
diagnostic-quality Planar monitors and work stations for the PACS
system from CDW Healthcare. Summit recently started a second phase
of its PACS implementation, which will allow physicians to review
x-ray images in exam rooms or their offices and interpret the
results or share them with a patient. �CDW Healthcare provided the
expertise we needed for our extensive storage requirements,� said
Craig Edwards, network manager, Summit Medical Group, P.A. �We have
been working with CDW for seven years because it has consistently
brought value to the table. Our CDW Healthcare account team helped
us look at our needs today and moving forward to identify the best
solution for our organization. Their depth of knowledge and
responsiveness was tremendously valuable to us during an
implementation that involved significant financial and operational
risk.� �CDW continues to invest in advanced technical resources to
provide in-depth advice on the market�s latest offerings so our
customers can focus on their critical strategic business and
patient-centric decisions,� said Rossi. Texas Gulf Coast Medical
Group Joins EMR to Mobile Point of Care To eliminate the
operational and storage burdens of paper charts as well as increase
the quality of patient care, Texas Gulf Coast Medical Group, a
multi-center healthcare organization serving more than 50,000
patients, has partnered with CDW Healthcare to provide the hardware
and technology infrastructure that supports its new EMR and Mobile
Point of Care (MPOC) solutions. When fully implemented later this
year, the system will allow physicians to retrieve medical records
and enter prescriptions at the point of care via tablet PCs, vastly
improving the accuracy of order entry and reducing the time needed
for document retrieval. �The joint EMR/MPOC implementation
represents one of the largest and most complex projects our
practice has undertaken,� said Chuck Kubricht, IT Supervisor, Texas
Gulf Coast Medical Group. �CDW Healthcare provided excellent
guidance on pricing and vendor selection for hardware and servers,
helping us to integrate separate hardware components into a unified
solution that provided us with system redundancy. Once complete,
our physicians will have the tools they need to consistently
provide the highest level of patient care via a secure, reliable
and mobile network.� In addition to optimizing patient care within
the facilities themselves, Texas Gulf Coast�s EMR implementation
will utilize an internal web server to provide remote access to
health records via a Secure Socket Layer (SSL). The solution
includes 52 Motion tablet PCs (one for each doctor and nurse) and
two HP servers each for application, database and terminal needs,
all run on a Cisco-powered network equipped with wireless control.
The entire network provides for full redundancy via dual switches
and controllers as well as clustered database servers for failover
capability. About CDW Healthcare CDW Healthcare, part of the public
