Farmington, CT (February 23, 2007) - Premise Corporation, a leading provider of clinically-focused software solutions to optimize patient flow, is honored to have clients showcase their patient flow improvements enabled by Premise solutions at the annual Healthcare Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS) conference.

As a finalist in the Microsoft Healthcare User Group (MS-HUG) Technology Innovation Awards, Premise will also be recognized at the Microsoft booth, #1411.
Premise clients will present two educational sessions at HIMSS that describe how Premise has enabled greater patient throughput:
- Optimizing Patient Flow – A Systemic View of Technology-Enabled BPR; by Chris Konen and Donna James of Christiana Care Health System

These presentations will provide case study-based evidence of how Premise improves patient flow, increases efficiency, enables better decision-making and improves communication across the hospital. Highlights include how Premise clients have reduced bed turnover time from eight hours to less than thirty minutes, reduced internal phone volume related to bed placement by 70%, and trimmed bed placement time by 40%.
