Braintree, Mass., September 12, 2011 – Summit Healthcare, a leader in healthcare system integration and task automation, today announced a new partnership with Newberry County Memorial Hospital (NCMH) in Newberry, South Carolina. In order to meet its interconnectivity goals, NCMH has chosen to leverage Summit Healthcare’s Express Connect interface engine technology.
Newberry County Memorial Hospital, a hospital licensed for 90 acute beds and 12 Transitional Care beds, is committed to providing the latest technology and procedures, while offering high quality personal care for its patients. After evaluating other integration vendors, NCMH selected
Summit Healthcare for its superior technology and MEDITECH expertise. Summit Healthcare’s Express Connect interface engine provides robust, full-featured mapping technology which will provide NCMH the ability to do a number of different conversions, manipulations of data, and filtering of HL7 messages to accomplish their integration goals. Summit Express Connect also offers a built-in scripting technology to accommodate the integration needs when HL7 interfaces are unavailable.
“Newberry County Memorial Hospital was pleased with Summit Healthcare’s interface engine technology and the superior features it provides, said David Wolff, Director of Information Technology, Newberry County Memorial Hospital. “A driving functionality factor for us was the engine’s ability to create alerts based on critical value results within the interface message ensuring our clinicians rapid access to critical patient information. We look forward to expanding our partnership as we begin efforts to integrate with our Physician Offices and explore our migration to MEDITECH 6.0.”
“Summit Healthcare is thrilled about our new engagement with Newberry Country Medical Center and the opportunity to bring our reliable and proven interface engine technology to this facility, said Ted Rossi, President, Summit Healthcare. “We believe that Summit Express Connect will enable NCMH to lay a foundation to meet its strategic internal connectivity goals and promote further growth and interoperability within their organization.”
