PatientKeeper Customer Wins Independent Healthcare Award for Innovation

HCA International recognized for using PatientKeeper's Physician Portal

LONDON, UK – November 3, 2009 – PatientKeeper®, Inc., the leading provider of Physician Information Technology, announced today that its customer, HCA International, has won the 2009 Innovation Award from Laing & Buisson. Laing & Buisson is the leading provider of authoritative data, statistics, analysis and market intelligence on UK health. This award recognizes cutting-edge advancements in providing independent health care. HCA International cited PatientKeeper’s innovation in providing rapid access to patient care data via a single interface. 

HCA International is based in the United Kingdom and operates six world-class hospitals and four outpatient treatment centers in London. HCA has currently implemented the PatientKeeper Physician Portal™ to consultants at all of its hospitals and plans to expand in the upcoming year.

“We’re excited HCA International won this prestigious award for its use of our technology,” said Paul Brient, president and CEO of PatientKeeper. “Technical innovation driven by real customer needs has always been part of our core mission and it’s great to be recognized by a customer and a third-party organization for our unique approach to supporting physicians. We look forward to continuing to expand our partnership with HCA International and to achieving continued success together.”

“We are using PatientKeeper as a strategic tool to align physicians with our facilities. If we can provide them with a physician portal that is simple and easy to use, it would be a substantial disincentive for them to send their patients to a non-HCA facility,” says Mike Gogola, Group IT Director.

The PatientKeeper Physician Portal is the single access point for PatientKeeper applications, uniting information from across the healthcare community.  With the PatientKeeper Portal, physicians no longer need to learn and navigate multiple hospital systems. By delivering information from hospital systems, physician practice EMRs, reference labs and other healthcare information systems, the PatientKeeper Physician Portal is a key component to Healthcare Information Exchange (HIE) initiatives and the foundation for a community-wide electronic health record.
