Winchester
Hospital Adopts Medicity’s Portal Platform
SALT LAKE
CITY, UT, and WINCHESTER, MA, April
13, 2006 - In its first announcement since the acquisition
of the Park City Solutions’ iServices division,
Medicity, Inc., a leading provider of eHealth solutions,
with Winchester Hospital, a community hospital with
a longstanding tradition of patient care and excellence
that includes Magnet Recognition from the American
Nurses Credentialing Center, announce the selection
of Medicity as Winchester’s web portal infrastructure
vendor.
“With the expansion and growth
of our vital programs and services, we felt our web
site needs to do more to market and promote these
initiatives in the communities we serve,” explains
Mark Whitney, director of communications and external
affairs for Winchester Hospital.
Whitney continues, “Medicity’s
solution will give us an infrastructure for developing
web content that is attractive, informative, and current.
It also positions us with a strategic foundation for
audience-specific portals that address the needs of
our broader constituency—which includes employees,
patients, and physicians—providing a platform
for secure information exchange and hospital-sponsored
service applications. In the world of large corporate
healthcare competitors where patients feel insignificant,
we want to create a personalized web experience that
emphasizes our community values.”
“Winchester is exactly the
kind of hospital we like to work with,” states
Brent Dover, Medicity’s senior vice president
of sales and marketing. “They are an important
leader in their healthcare community and have a forward
looking management team,” he emphasizes. “As
a MEDITECH customer, Winchester is a great candidate
for additional applications that can significantly
contribute to the accomplishment of their primary
mission—timelier, improved quality care.”
Medicity’s portal platform
has been widely recognized as an innovative hospital
solution for the creation and management of web content
and a secure infrastructure for launching web applications
and workflow tools that can support hospital business
objectives and significantly improve organizational
effectiveness. Recently its clinical portal solution
was a leader in the inaugural KLAS study of hospital
clinical/physician portals.
