CareTech Solutions’ Successful Completion of Hospital’s EMD Installation Helped Spur Marietta Memorial Leadership to choose CareTech as IT Partner

CareTech Solutions (www.caretechsolutions.com), an information technology (IT) and Web products and services provider for hospitals and health systems, announced it has signed a five-year agreement to provide Marietta Memorial Hospital of Marietta, Oh. (www.mmhospital.org) with total IT services management. Under the terms of the agreement, CareTech will provide Marietta Memorial Hospital with a full range of IT and service desk solutions.

CareTech Solutions’ total IT services management agreement with Marietta Memorial Hospital expands the relationship that began earlier this year, when CareTech Solutions was engaged by Marietta Memorial Hospital to assist with ongoing implementation of the hospital’s electronic medical record (EMR) and practice management software within Marietta’s affiliated physician’s offices. CareTech provided the technology resources and expertise needed to accelerate the implementation.

“CareTech Solutions’ deep bench of experts and its healthcare-only expertise were strategic assets to Marietta Memorial Hospital that competing organizations just couldn’t match,” said Scott Cantley, CEO of Marietta Memorial Hospital. “CareTech will take the lead role in developing and implementing a comprehensive healthcare IT strategy that puts patient care first, and we look forward to a great relationship.”

Chief among CareTech’s responsibilities will be assuming the IT leadership role at Marietta Memorial Hospital and developing a long-term IT strategic plan that aligns with the hospital’s patient care objectives, as well as healthcare IT provisions in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). CareTech Solutions will also provide Marietta Memorial Hospital with technology installations and support, including assuming responsibility for the full spectrum of IT services in support of the hospital’s IT infrastructure, desktop environment, applications, telecommunications and service desk.

“CareTech’s healthcare-specific focus and its efforts to understand Marietta Memorial Hospital’s technology challenges were critical factors in the hospital selecting CareTech as its IT partner,” said Jim Giordano, president and CEO of CareTech Solutions. “We’re delighted to play a key role in helping to develop, execute and lead Marietta Memorial Hospital’s IT strategy to help ensure it becomes a model for other hospitals relative to alignment with the national vision for healthcare IT.”
