California IDN Selects Summit Healthcare’s InSync and Summit Scripting Toolkit Products
Braintree, Mass.- Providence Health & Services, California Region has successfully begun their MEDITECH 6.0 migration and have realized a need for integration and automation technology as they continue with their migration efforts. After an evaluation process, Providence has selected Summit Healthcare as their vendor partner to meet their dictionary management and data migration needs. They have purchased the Summit InSync and Summit Scripting Toolkit technology and are currently underway with the implementation phase.
As an IDN, Providence wishes to standardize dictionaries across all five California facilities with some immediate needs in the Pharmacy. One of the first projects will be to synchronize the Providence Tarzana Medical Center and a partner’s sub level facility, a pediatric unit both running the MEDITECH 6.05 platform. The Providence team realized the complexity of dictionary management especially with the clinical modules and needed to invest in robust, proven technology to carry them through their standardization process.
With the additional investment in the Summit Scripting Toolkit, Providence can utilize SST to handle its data migration efforts and eliminate manual data entry that often accompanies a migration and general hospital processes.
“Providence chose Summit Healthcare because of their proven technology and their deep MEDITECH experience. It was a thorough vendor investigation process and Summit Healthcare came out on top as the leader in dictionary management and automation technology. We are already underway with our dictionary synchronization efforts and look forward to streamlining this once laborious process,” said Dan Nash, Clinical Applications Manager for Providence California.
“Dictionary synchronization and management needs are becoming more important as MEDITECH facilities look to migrate to MEDITECH 6.0 and their once manageable systems are now being replaced with more complex databases. As facilities invest time and resources in the new MEDITECH 6.0 system it is of the utmost importance to start with clean, accurate dictionaries that can carry their organization into the future with the goal of long-term maintenance. The Summit InSync technology enables organizations to manage this laborious task now and for all future releases,” said Ted Rossi, CEO, Summit Healthcare.
