Farmington, CT (March 1, 2007) - Premise Corporation today announced it has been recognized as a winner of the 2007 MS-HUG (Microsoft Healthcare Users Group) Annual Innovation Awards in the category of Clinical Records - Inpatient.
Premise is a leading provider of integrated and clinically-focused software solutions that optimize patient flow, streamline communications, enhance operational efficiency, and empower knowledge-based decision making. Premise software optimizes the delivery of healthcare services by enabling the widespread use of real-time data and by facilitating workflow and patient movement. Premise software is Microsoft-certified and built with industry leading components such as the Microsoft SQL server.
“Premise Corporation impressed the MS-HUG selection committee with its innovative use of technology to improve hospital-wide communication, processes and care for patients,” said Chris Sullivan, health solutions director for Microsoft’s U.S. Healthcare and Life Sciences Group.
Premise software solutions help solve one of healthcare’s most pressing challenges: improving patient flow and enabling a greater number of patients to receive timely, efficient care. Industry regulations and trends such as pay-for-performance, JCAHO patient flow standard LD 3.10.10, and key performance indicators have made patient flow improvement increasingly important. Premise clients have realized significant benefits such as reduction of bed turnover time from seven hours to less than thirty minutes, reduction in internal phone volume related to bed placement by 70%, and elimination of overnighting patients in the ED.
“Premise solutions stand out for many reasons: they are intuitive and user-friendly, they enable immediate and far-reaching benefits, and they use the best technology. Our clients’ success and industry recognition such as the MS-HUG Innovation Award reinforce our position as the patient flow leader,“ states Eric Rosow, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Premise Corporation.
The MS-HUG Innovation Awards recognize healthcare organizations and individuals who exhibit the best use of Microsoft-based products, as well as independent software vendors that develop solutions on Microsoft technology for the healthcare industry.
