Cayuga Medical Center Selects Summit Healthcare for Interface Management and Physician Office Integration as they migrate to Meditech 6.0

Braintree, MA - Summit Healthcare, a leader in healthcare system integration and task automation, today announced it has entered into an agreement with Cayuga Medical Center to be their one integration partner as they migrate to the Meditech 6.0 platform. This migration effort will include implementing Summit Express Connect, a robust interface engine to meet the current and future integration needs. Cayuga Medical Center is a 204 bed, full service not for profit facility located in Ithaca, New York.

Cayuga Medical Center recognized the cost savings that come with partnering with one integration and automation vendor. The immediate short-term goal for Cayuga Medical Center is to enable their staff to concentrate on the Meditech 6.0 project management while ensuring their readiness and implementation efforts are not compromised. To accomplish this short-term goal, Cayuga has also entered into a 1 year Outsourcing agreement, with Summit Healthcare to handle all interface migration and management efforts. In addition to the integration efforts underway, Cayuga Medical Center will be implementing the Summit Scripting Toolkit, and Summit InSync, products to streamline data migration and dictionary maintenance efforts. They have chosen to price protect the Summit Downtime Reporting System as a potential future initiative to tackle the challenge that comes with Meditech or Network downtime.
