Providence chose Summit Healthcare because of their proven technology and their deep MEDITECH experience.

- Daniel Nash, Clinical Applications Manager, Providence Health California

As Memorial Hospital began its strategic plan for the MEDITECH 6.0 migration we quickly realized that there was more to our plan than application implementation and hardware requirements. We needed to find an integration and automation partner that could assist us with our interface landscape and help us tackle our data and dictionary management needs including a plan for business continuity in the event of a downtime. Summit Healthcare provided the whole package and came highly recommended in the MEDITECH community."

Boulder Community Hospital selected Summit Healthcare because of their proven track record for streamlining complex interface environments as we approach our MEDITECH 6.0 migration. The Summit Healthcare Apex product suite namely the Summit Express Connect interface engine will replace two engines at BCH and not only will this save the hospital money, but it will allow us to implement interfaces faster and with fewer resources. ”

Beaufort Memorial Hospital is thrilled to begin our partnership with Summit Healthcare as we take this important step to upgrade our hospital information system to the latest Meditech 6.0 platform. We quickly realized that there is more to our migration plan then simply application implementation and hardware/infrastructure requirements. It’s important that we understand our interface landscape and how to successfully integrate systems including our physician offices without getting tangled in a web of hundreds of point to point and custom interfaces across multiple vendors. I was amazed at the ROI with the just the interface engine alone. When Summit Healthcare presented the total package solution with their Apex suite and the support of their professional services staff, it was an easy decision. ”

Bristol Hospital chose Summit Healthcare because of their proven technology and their deep MEDITECH experience. As a new MEDITECH facility we quickly realized inserting data into the proprietary database was difficult and therefore migrating our current data to the new system was going to be extremely resource intensive. We needed a technology tool to quickly upload data and interact with other applications such as Excel, Access, etc. to automate the many MEDITECH dictionaries. Bristol Hospital expects the Summit Scripting Toolkit to be extremely valuable as we navigate through our data conversion efforts during our implementation phase. Once the time and resources to create the scripts are in place we plan to automate the data entry process continuously which will be invaluable as we tackle future automation projects. "
