Universal Health Services Inc. (UHS) selects MediSolution for hosted
Laboratory Information System solution
Montreal, Quebec (May 2, 2007) - MediSolution Ltd (TSX:MSH), a leading healthcare
and public sector information technology company, today announced that Universal
Health Services Inc. (UHS), one of the largest and most respected healthcare
management companies in the US, has purchased MediSolution’s automated TDSynergy
laboratory information system and Virtuo Business Intelligence solution for a
system-wide implementation of their acute care hospitals. The comprehensive solution
will be centrally hosted at the King of Prussia corporate headquarters and used by
twenty-five different sites across the UHS network. Three hospitals, located in Nevada
and Florida, have been identified for the initial phase of the project which is slated for
implementation over the next twelve months. The contract is expected to generate over
$5 Million in software licensing and professional services revenue over the next three
years.
Specifically designed to increase operational efficiency and results reporting within
clinical laboratories, the MediSolution laboratory information solution automates
numerous functions, ranging from laboratory requests, to the integration of point of care
testing, to the production and communication of web-enabled final test results. The UHS
solution includes the implementation of the core laboratory, microbiology, anatomical
pathology, web-outreach and document management modules.
“The selection of MediSolution came after an extensive review and evaluation of the
various systems currently available in the marketplace”, said Jerry Staples, UHS
Laboratory Consultant. “The system’s superior reporting capabilities, flexibility and
scalability will allow us to streamline costs while enhancing functionality.”
The Virtuo Business Intelligence (BI) solution turns laboratory data into web-based
dashboards and scorecards which can be viewed system wide. This will allow the UHS
team to easily track key performance indicators to quickly identify trends and implement
appropriate actions to enhance quality and improve the return on investment across their
entire network of laboratories.
“We are thrilled to have UHS, with their impressive portfolio of acute care and behavioral
health hospitals, join our growing family of US Laboratory clients,” said Paul Lepage,
President and Chief Executive Officer at MediSolution. “Our feature rich TD-Synergy
laboratory system with its rules based intelligence engine, coupled with the performance
dashboards in our Virtuo BI solution will help the UHS network of acute care hospitals
meet their goals of maximizing utilization, increasing productivity, creating value and
supporting optimal patient care”.
