Murray-Calloway County Hospital Selects Summit Healthcare to Address MEDITECH System Downtime and Dictionary Management Needs

Braintree, Mass.- Summit Healthcare, a leader in healthcare system integration and task automation, today announced a new engagement with Murray-Calloway Country Hospital (MCCH) in Murray, KY to address business continuity and dictionary management needs for its MEDITECH environment. MCCH will be implementing Summit Downtime Reporting System (DRS) and Summit InSync.

Murray-Calloway County Hospital, a 152 bed general medical and surgical hospital, had gone live with eMAR/BMV when it determined that it needed a more robust downtime solution to capture the Nursing medication administration reports in the downtime system and provide better all around support during outages. MCCH also faced daunting challenges relating to dictionary management and was in need of a proven technology that could easily analyze, synchronize and maintain its dictionaries.

“As Murray-Calloway County Hospital began working on a new strategic downtime plan, we knew we needed a system that would ensure the delivery of critical patient data during scheduled or unanticipated downtime,” said Regina Davison, Director IT, Murray-Calloway County Hospital. “Summit Healthcare’s proven technology and expertise made their downtime reporting solution the obvious choice. We also selected the Summit InSync product due to its powerful and easy-to-use features for dictionary management.”

“Summit Healthcare is pleased to partner with Murray-Calloway County Hospital and bring our downtime and dictionary management technology to this facility,” said Ted Rossi, President and CEO, Summit Healthcare. “Our Downtime Reporting System will provide the necessary access to critical patient data in the event of a downtime and the Summit InSync technology will enable clean, accurate dictionaries that can carry their organization into the future with the goal of long-term maintenance.

Murray-Calloway County Hospital have been implementation efforts now of the Summit Downtime Reporting System and Summit InSync technology.
