Logicalis Healthcare IT to Receive Spotlight at HIMSS09

Medical Conferences News - HIMSS 2009
Leading international healthcare solutions provider brings a customer experience approach to using technology, services and partnerships in an effort to create an integrated EMR/EHR approach
Logicalis, an international provider of high-performance technology for today's critical healthcare information technology (IT) environments, brings its customer experience approach to the upcoming 2009 Annual HIMSS Conference & Exhibition at McCormick Place in Chicago. Recognized as one of the premier conferences in the healthcare industry, HIMSS09 brings together healthcare professionals across the globe for this annual gathering.

Logicalis healthcare professionals are ready to strategize electronic health record (EHR) readiness with healthcare providers at Booth #4838 on the HIMSS exhibition floor. With the looming October 1, 2009 deadline to qualify for ARRA Healthcare IT Subsidy funding, Logicalis will share its healthcare focused integration experience and implementation resources. Karen Burton, healthcare solutions specialist, commented on Logicalis participation in HIMSS:

"At the annual HIMSS conference, we have an opportunity to meet with people who are looking for a healthcare solutions provider versed in EMR/EHR that will help them ready their infrastructure, off-load their IT staff to focus on EHR, and develop rapid deployment plans for these solutions. Logicalis can talk with each individual one-on-one about their own needs. The HIMSS exhibition makes it easy for us to meet with customers interested in our customer experience approach to providing healthcare solutions, as well as those looking for the right option for their electronic health record system."

Logicalis has worked closely with healthcare providers for more than two decades. This experience gives Logicalis consultants a unique perspective on the very specific IT requirements healthcare providers have.

"Logicalis' expertise in healthcare made the selection of a technology solution provider easy," said Bill Colbert, VP/CIO University Hospital, Augusta, GA. "They clearly understand the key challenges and opportunities healthcare providers like us face today and how to best address them with an eye toward maximum efficiency and utilization while minimizing the risks involved in rolling out new technologies to support the increased requirements for records retention in our industry."

"When we look to improve the way our IT infrastructure supports the clinical applications, our relationship with Logicalis makes Logicalis an obvious choice," said Michael Sweeney, CIO, Fox Chase Cancer Center. "Logicalis works with us to ensure we get effective solutions and very competitive prices."

Logicalis also plans to highlight its joint effort with Avnet Technology Solutions, an operating group of Avnet, Inc., and its HealthPathâ„¢ University. Avnet HealthPath is an educational resource for healthcare practices, offering industry expertise and partnerships with industry-leading technology suppliers. HealthPath University gives solutions providers the ability to deliver a complete healthcare solution and reduce the overall cost associated with the development and delivery of healthcare products and services.

"Logicalis has invested significantly in its healthcare practice and in the healthcare education of its sales and technical consulting staff," commented David Hutchinson, director, Healthcare Solutions, Avnet Technology Solutions, Americas. "The many healthcare organizations Logicalis works with have benefited from the industry-focused knowledge Logicalis brings to the table as a result of Avnet's HealthPath University."

The HIMSS annual conference is expected to attract about 30,000 attendees, ranking it as one of the largest healthcare IT and management systems conferences in the world. The 2009 Annual HIMSS Conference & Exhibition will take place April 4-8, 2009, at McCormick Place, Chicago.

To get the full experience of its commitment to healthcare IT, Logicalis encourages all who will be attending HIMSS09 to visit booth #4838 on the exhibition floor.
