SeeBeyond (Nasdaq:SBYN), provider of the world's first fully
integrated composite application network suite (SeeBeyond ICAN
Suite) for the deployment of advanced integration and composite
application solutions, today announced selection by University
Medical Center Tucson, AZ (UMC), a leader in the Southwestern U.S.
for health, wellness, and caring and a U.S. News and World Report
"Best Hospital" in 10 categories. Recognizing the importance of a
leading-edge IT strategy in the delivery of quality patient care,
UMC initiated an effort to standardize on a single integration
platform for its many discrete patient care and financial systems,
and to eliminate one of the two outdated interface engines in the
Medical Center. Through the deployment of the SeeBeyond ICAN Suite,
UMC expects to gain efficiencies through the use of a fully
supported, standards-based integration suite, while preserving its
existing interfaces until the upgrade is complete. UMC also expects
to gain a more predictable cost structure for future development --
something not available with the current interfaces, as well as the
opportunity to leverage the market availability of Java developers.
"The SeeBeyond implementation and interface migration project
drives both initial and long term value for the UMC medical
facility and enhances our ability to provide consistent and high
quality patient care," said Kevin Burns, CFO of UMC. "By enabling
an immediate ability to seamlessly connect existing hospital
patient care and financial systems, as well as develop a flexible,
scalable, open platform foundation for future initiatives,
including future efforts to provide a unified view of patient
information to our practitioners at the point of patient care, the
SeeBeyond implementation will deliver long-term strategic value for
UMC, our practitioners and patients." The implementation also
provides UMC with the ability to enable electronic medical records
consistent with federal initiatives to support a National Health
Information Network of interoperable systems for healthcare
delivery. The ultimate goal of this effort is to provide improved
healthcare through unified single patient views, longitudinal
patient medical records and the electronic prescribing of
medication. "This is a very exciting time in the healthcare
industry, driven by the goal of a nationwide medical record
infrastructure and the need for readiness on the part of individual
medical facilities," said Wayne Owens, general manager of
Healthcare for SeeBeyond. "Achieving the goals set forth in
regional and national programs requires today's healthcare
organizations to undertake true clinical transformations. To be
cost-effective, these efforts must be supported by the ability to
leverage investments in existing legacy IT systems. SeeBeyond
offers complete interoperability through our composite application
solution suite to make this goal a reality." About University
