QuadraMed (NASDAQ:QDHC) today announced that Winchester District Memorial Hospital (WDMH), a progressive, rural-based community teaching hospital in Winchester, Ontario, Canada, selected QuadraMed CPR (QCPR) as part of its strategic initiative to improve rural patient safety and care through clinical decision support tools and medication management. In addition to QCPR software and services, WDMH also purchased QuadraMed Electronic Document Management and QuadraMed Enterprise Scheduling solutions to accelerate operational efficiencies. �After thoroughly evaluating the market leaders, we concluded that QuadraMed was the only one that offered the flexibility and interoperability required to full integrate our legacy and future solutions, enabling our clinicians to provide better and safer care,� said Trudy Reid, WDMH�s CEO. �QCPR will play a key role in transforming care delivery in rural Ontario and will serve as a national model for other rural facilities across Canada. QuadraMed�s innovative solutions will ensure that we can continue to provide the highest quality and most efficient care to the 90,000 people we serve.� QCPR will provide WDMH with a fully integrated electronic health record that operates on an enterprise platform built upon InterSystems Cache�, a high-performance, post-relational, SQL database that is consistently ranked best in KLAS. Also purchased was the QuadraMed Electronic Document Management solution, which will enable the hospital to proactively manage, process, and securely store patient and business data through a central repository for patient documents and images. Driven by a rules-based scanning engine, QuadraMed Enterprise Scheduling solution supplies WDMH with powerful tools to automate the front-end of the healthcare process, resulting in streamlined patient access, scheduling and billing, as well as reduced patient identity errors. �WDMH's willingness to work with QuadraMed formed the basis of our strong partnership, a model that will help provide best practices to other rural hospitals in Canada striving to improve patient care and outcomes," said Keith Hagen, QuadraMed�s president and CEO. �Although it�s only been one year since we acquired QCPR, we have signed several large add-on contracts with existing QCPR clients for more QuadraMed products and services. This win is especially gratifying because it represents QuadraMed�s first QCPR sale to a new-name client in that brief time, underscoring the strong momentum and demand for QCPR in the marketplace.� About Winchester District Memorial Hospital The Winchester District Memorial Hospital (WDMH) is a community teaching hospital serving a population of approximately 90,000 residents.
