New England Home Care Joins Ever-Growing
List of Misys Healthcare Systems Customers
Leading Organization to Use Misys Homecare
to Manage Clinical and Financial Capabilities
RALEIGH, N.C., (June, 2004) -- Misys Healthcare
Systems -- a market leader in healthcare IT -- today announced
that New England Home Care, part of the large National
Home Health Care Corporation network, has selected the
Misys Homecare product as its system of choice to manage
clinical and financial capabilities across the organization.
New England Home Care is one of the largest homecare
agencies in Connecticut. The organization includes a staff
of specialized field nurses and paraprofessionals who
see patients throughout the state and are on call 24 hours
a day, seven days a week. In order to better manage patient
care and increase its bottom line, executives at New England
Home Care sought a technology that would enable staff
throughout the organization to manage their work more
efficiently. Following an extensive selection process,
the company chose Misys Homecare.
Misys Homecare is a leading software solution that will
enable nurses and other employees of New England Home
Care to manage clinical, financial, and administrative
functions. Field users will be able to effectively upload
and download data at the point of care, ensuring fast
and continuous access to patient information and enhanced
patient care. Paperwork will be electronically signed
and transferred back to the home office, allowing the
agency to more easily process critical information. The
product will also allow New England Home Care to expedite
patient billing and more accurately maintain patient data.
"Organizations from coast to coast have been turning
to Misys Healthcare Systems for their homecare needs,”
Keith Sturges, chief executive officer, Misys Healthcare
Systems, said. “People are attracted to our ability
to provide them with a combination of top-notch service,
technology, and consultation, which explains why our customer
base continues to rapidly grow on a daily basis.”
Misys Homecare is a fully integrated clinical and business
system that improves the clinical quality of care, financial
performance, and operational control for large, integrated
homecare organizations and small homecare companies. Business,
clinical and scheduling functionality for multiple lines
of business --home health, hospice, and private duty --
are combined seamlessly into one software package.
