PatientKeeper Closes 2003 With Record Fourth Quarter
Developer of Healthcare Computing Solutions Signs Twelve Major New Contracts
BOSTON, Feb. 11, 2004 PatientKeeper, a leading provider of healthcare computing solutions, announced today that orders for mobile enterprise solutions increased for the third consecutive quarter as healthcare providers embrace the clinical and financial benefits from mobile computing. The Boston-based software firm said that during the fourth quarter of 2003, it signed new contracts with twelve organizations.
Mobile computing solutions are playing an increasingly important role in helping physicians work across multiple environments. As examples, Duke University Health System and HealthCare Partners will utilize PatientKeeper to allow physicians to maintain a single patient list and access clinical information across multiple hospitals that run multiple disparate backend systems. Duke University Health System represents an academic medical center, two community hospitals, and numerous physician practices. HealthCare Partners is a medical group that serves over eleven hospitals in Southern California, providing care for over 400,000 patients with over 1,000 primary care physicians
”PatientKeeper provides our hospital-based physicians and our primary care physicians with a single access point to numerous disparate information systems,” said Jeffrey Hay, MD, medical director of inpatient services, HealthCare Partners. ”Having only one system to track our inpatients from over twenty facilities improves physician satisfaction, productivity, patient safety, and patient service.”
PatientKeeper provides doctors and other medical professionals with a broad portfolio of mobile and desktop applications that integrate with existing healthcare information systems. These healthcare computing solutions allow doctors to interactively manage patient information, view clinical results, submit charges, dictate notes, write prescriptions, and more.
“Mobile healthcare solutions are making a tremendous impact on care delivery, helping physicians save time and improve the quality of care they provide,“ said Paul W. Brient, chief executive officer of PatientKeeper.
