MEDSEEK announced that five new clients selected MEDSEEK in the first quarter of 2009
MEDSEEK, a leading provider of healthcare enterprise portal solutions, announced that five new clients selected MEDSEEK in the first quarter of 2009. Quarter after quarter, MEDSEEK continues to accelerate the advancement and adoption of eHealth for hospitals nationwide. Demand for its enterprise eHealth portal solutions continues to grow based on increasing market demand for a vendor with demonstrated leadership, innovation and proven success integrating data among disparate back-end systems to provide a seamless, user-friendly experience.
In the first quarter, the following hospitals and health systems chose MEDSEEK for its award-winning, experience-centric consumer, patient, employee and/or clinical portal solutions:
Rex Healthcare (www.rexhealthcare.com), Raleigh, NC - Rex Healthcare includes an acute care hospital, four wellness centers, two skilled rehabilitation and long-term nursing care facilities, a freestanding outpatient diagnostic facility, urgent care facility and surgery center totaling 665 beds.
Children’s Hospital of Illinois (www.childrenshospitalofil.org), Peoria, IL – Children’s Hospital of Illinois is a 127-bed pediatric hospital within the OSF Healthcare System.
Emanuel Medical Center (www.emanuelmedicalcenter.org), Turlock, CA – Emanuel Medical Center is a 221-bed short-term acute care facility with a 145-bed skilled nursing facility.
Evergreen Hospital Medical Center (www.evergreenhealthcare.org), Kirkland, WA – Evergreen Hospital Medical Center is a 275-bed acute care facility that also offers a neuroscience institute, home care and hospice care.
Central Peninsula Hospital (www.cpgh.org), Soldotna, AK – Central Peninsula Hospital is an acute care hospital serving Alaska’s Central Kenai Peninsula area.
Hospitals face intense competition to attract and retain patients, physicians and employees. Tom Martin, CIO of Evergreen Hospital Medical Center, explains, “Seattle is an extremely progressive and competitive market where patients demand self-service, choice, quality and the convenience of an online experience. We are committed to meeting these needs by offering a robust and interactive patient portal that lives up to the high standard of care we provide once a patient walks through our doors.”
Central Peninsula Hospital CFO Jason Paret explains, “MEDSEEK has been very responsive to our needs by helping us design portals that meet the needs of our key stakeholders. Our relationship is allowing us to focus our efforts on our internet presence, employee portal, physician portal and patient portal. MEDSEEK is an integral component of our plan to develop a community electronic health record (EHR) that will meet the federal standard of ‘meaningful use’ to access HIT stimulus funds. We know that our partnership with MEDSEEK will go a long way toward our administration’s goal of becoming one of the most wired hospitals in the U.S.”
According to Peter Kuhn, CEO of MEDSEEK, “Our continuing growth is a reflection of our ability to deploy interoperable, user-centric eHealth portals that engage consumers with an online experience, preserve patient loyalty, attract and retain physicians and staff, and achieve greater clinical and operational efficiencies. Our ability to bring data that is warehoused in disparate systems to patients and care providers in an easy-to-use, meaningful format that is securely accessible online, anytime and anywhere, is very gratifying. We look forward to continuing to drive eHealth excellence and doing our part to support our nation’s healthcare IT objectives.”
