Partnership Also Lays Foundation for Schneck’s Strategic Interoperability Goals
Braintree, Mass., April 20, 2010 — Summit Healthcare, a leader in healthcare system integration and task automation, has partnered with Seymour, Indiana’s Schneck Medical Center. Summit Healthcare will provide Schneck with tools to help the organization gain control of its interface environment and automate various processes. Summit Healthcare’s integration engine will also lay a foundation to help Schneck meet its strategic interconnectivity goals over the next few years.
Schneck is initially investing in two components of the Summit Apex suite, Summit Healthcare’s integrated product set that provides a comprehensive offering for HIS integration and automation. The first product is Summit Express Connect™, a robust, powerful interface engine that will give the 116-bed medical center the power and flexibility to develop and manage its interfaces in one easy-to-use application. Schneck has also contracted for Summit Scripting Toolkit™, a powerful scripting application which allows users to easily build scripts and interfaces.
“As we began our search for an integration partner, we knew we needed to find a company with the tools to help with our current interface needs as well as solutions that would act as a foundation for future integration initiatives,” said Craig Rice, director of IT, Schneck Medical Center. “We chose Summit Healthcare not only for its robust Apex product suite, but also because of its strong presence, deep experience and record of success in the MEDITECH space, which was important to us as a long-time MEDITECH user.”
The Summit Apex products will support Scheck over the next few years as the organization begins to build interconnectivity with a regional health exchange, physicians’ offices and other entities. Summit Healthcare’s technology will also play an integral role in Schneck’s initiative to automate processes such as remittance posting – a future scripting project the company plans on building with the Summit Scripting Toolkit.
“We are thrilled that Schneck Medical Center chose to partner with us,” said Ted Rossi, president and CEO, Summit Healthcare. “As with many of our new customers, Schneck saw our true value when we visited them for a hands-on interface building workshop. They experienced, first-hand, how easy it is with our tools to build unlimited interfaces in minutes, providing tremendous opportunity for ROI.”
