JUPITER, Fla., Sept. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Excel
Medical, an innovator in modernizing cardiac telemetry and medical
device integration (MDI), today announced it entered into a
collaboration arrangement with Allina Health, as part of the
Lighthouse Program. Excel Medical's Lighthouse Program creates a
unique opportunity for health systems to contribute to the design
and development of cutting-edge innovations to improve clinician
workflows across Epic applications. The program's goals include
increasing physician satisfaction and efficiencies, delivering near
real-time physiological data across Epic's applications and
eliminating unnecessary paper processes.
Allina Health is a not-for-profit health care system serving
communities throughout Minnesota
and western Wisconsin, including a
network of 12 hospitals, rehabilitation centers, retail pharmacies
and ambulatory care facilities.
In 2004, Allina Health implemented the Epic EMR. Today, they are
recognized as having one of the most comprehensive electronic
health record systems in the nation. In addition, for over 15
years, Allina Health relied on a hardware-centric MDI solution
entrenched in technology obsolescence risks, expensive hardware
equipment and a general lack of innovations. These conditions
stunted efforts to achieve economies to scale. Therefore, Allina
Health made an enterprise decision to deploy Excel Medical's MDI
software centric solution to provide for growth, scalability and
innovations.
"Allina Health selected Excel Medical based on its long history
of innovations in medical device integration and expertise
integrating across the Epic EMR and App
Orchard applications. Our strategic shift from a
hardware-based MDI solution to Excel's software-centric MDI
platform allows us to expeditiously deploy a comprehensive solution
that leverages our Epic workflows combined with Excel's continuing
cutting-edge innovations," said Jonathan
Shoemaker, Chief Information Officer.
Under the Lighthouse Program, Excel Medical gains a valuable
collaboration partner with Allina Health. Their deep domain
knowledge in clinical workflows, expertise using Epic's EMR and
commitment to innovations offer significant contributions.
"We are excited to provide Allina Health with a leading-edge
software-based MDI solution as well as collaborate on future
innovations," said Lance Burton,
President of Excel Medical. "Our Lighthouse Program is designed for
health systems, like Allina Heath,
who place a high value on creating and leveraging innovations
focused on improving physician satisfaction and operational
efficiencies."
Excel Medical is committed to providing leading healthcare
systems with the highest level of satisfaction and clinical
innovations.
