Healthland Exhibits Electronic Medical Records Solution to Rural and Small Community Healthcare Providers at HIMSS 2010

“In a sea of vendors at the annual HIMSS conference and exhibit, small community hospitals are looking specifically for technology providers who understand their unique needs,” said James Burgess, president and CEO of Healthland. “We find HIMSS to be an important channel for small community and critical access hospitals and are proud of the fact that we are the only solutions provider to focus exclusively on this market with over 30 years of experience and more than 500 customers across the country. With the Healthland electronic medical records solution (EMR), our customers utilize one patient chart for the entire healthcare community enabling operational efficiencies, improved departmental and organizational communication, and reduced cost by more effectively managing patient records and optimizing reimbursement while ensuring regulatory compliance.”

HIMSS 2010 is one of the largest global industry trade shows. Last year’s attendance included more than 30,000 healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, HIT executives, pharmacists, vendor and healthcare IT professionals. This year’s event will provide:

• Take home tools to help achieve meaningful use and ARRA funding qualifications
• Opportunities to explore innovative product and service solutions
• Information to aide in successful EMR implementations
• Actionable information on achieving higher levels of cost efficiencies, EMR adoption, privacy, security, CPOE, quality and patient safety
  

“Events, such as HIMSS 2010, provide us with the opportunity to spend time with our customers and uncover their needs in today’s challenging healthcare climate,” added Burgess. “Our Emergency Department Information System product launch is an excellent example of how Healthland listens to market needs and builds new product based on customer input.”

At the upcoming HIMSS event, Healthland will showcase product enhancements to its EMR solution, and share recent case studies from hospitals reaping the rewards after EMR implementation. The healthcare IT provider will also reveal the results from its recent customer survey about where hospitals are in the process of meeting upcoming ARRA mandates and meaningful use. In addition, Healthland representatives will be available for product demos at booth #8422.
