Sunquest Information Systems, Inc., the leader in laboratory
information solutions, announced today it has recognized HNL Lab
Medicine as a Center of Excellence for its superior commitment to
laboratory innovation, and for using Sunquest solutions to improve
care for the patient community and drive greater efficiency for the
organization.
The Center of Excellence program recognizes world-class health
systems that utilize Sunquest solutions to support the strategic
direction of their organization. This includes establishing and
promoting best practices that improve patient safety, decrease the
cost of healthcare, streamline provider care, and provide thought
leadership and recommendations on new and existing Sunquest
products.
Headquartered in Allentown, PA, HNL Medicine generates more than
60 million clinical and anatomic pathology results for
approximately 3 million patients and 12,000 healthcare providers
each year. During the COVID-19 pandemic, HNL Medicine supported its
patient community, from local colleges, screening partnerships with
international services for pre-travel screening, and full support
of Lehigh Valley Health Network lab testing throughout the state.
An innovative organization, HNL Lab Medicine drives improved
patient safety and efficiency with bedside collections and
labeling, multiple lab network workflows with one instance of the
Sunquest Laboratory™ solution, and real-time results delivery,
including genetic testing, via Sunquest CoPathPlus™. One example of
this technology innovation is with HNL’s “Red Lab initiative” that
uses Sunquest products to run multiple labs as a single entity,
with a goal of reducing test results turnaround by 50%, and
decrease overcrowding and length of stay in the emergency
department.
“Our partnership with Sunquest has enabled our organization to
be nimble and innovative, bringing forward new technologies and
processes, expanding our services to more health systems, and
driving one of the highest health system operating margins in the
state,” said Harvey B. Guindi, Chief Information Officer for HNL
Medicine.
“HNL Medicine exemplifies today’s modern laboratory, pushing the
envelope to deliver more to its physician customers and patients,
using technology and collaboration,” stated Paul Stinson, Chief
Growth Officer for Sunquest. He continued, “We look forward to
doing more with HNL in the near future, including projects such as
enhanced order and alerts for physicians, that drive better
visibility and reduced healthcare costs.”
HNL Medicine has been a Sunquest customer for more than 40 years
and uses the following Sunquest solutions: Sunquest Laboratory™,
Sunquest CoPathPlus™, and Sunquest Specimen Routing and Tracking
(SMART). These solutions are tightly integrated with Data
