(NASDAQ:STRM), announced today that one of the best pediatric hospitals in the nation, as designated by U.S. News and World Report, has implemented the first of several Streamline Health Business Process Management (BPM) workflow solutions.

"Streamline Health's BPM solutions will be instrumental in driving better productivity and higher accountability in the key business processes of this institution," said J. Brian Patsy, president and chief executive officer of Streamline Health. "Our long history of healthcare market expertise and our ability to design and implement workflow processes tailored to the institution's specific needs were critical factors in their decision to utilize our BPM solutions. We believe that their staff will be able to seamlessly utilize the new technology to drive operating efficiencies throughout their entire system. This is the first of a number of workflow implementations that we will install at this site and we look forward to working closely with this institution for many years to come."
