Millennium Pharmacy Systems Improves Efficiency of Patient Healthcare With Strangeloop Networks' AS1000 Application Scaling Appliance

Posted on: Monday, 2 June 2008, 09:22 CDT

Strangeloop Networks(TM) Inc., a leading provider of solutions that accelerate dynamic web applications developed with Microsoft's ASP.NET framework or which rely on web services, today announced that Millennium Pharmacy Systems, Inc., a pioneer in the field of medication management systems for the long term care industry, has dramatically improved the performance of its Microsoft ASP.NET-based medication service and administration applications with Strangeloop's AS1000 Application Scaling Appliance, ultimately improving the quality and efficiency of patient healthcare.

Through its proven medication management and delivery systems, Millennium provides its customers with the benefit of its Total Pharmacy Solution, designed to improve the needs of long term care providers, both medically and administratively. Using sophisticated technologies like electronic medical entry systems, bar coded medication administration and automated pharmacy services, a patient's medical updates can be recorded, and pharmaceutical requests can be analyzed for accuracy, including allergy and dosage analysis, and sent to the pharmacist in real-time, increasing patient safety, reducing delayed delivery of medicine and patient treatment, ultimately enabling care-providers to spend more time on the patients themselves. The system is based on wireless technology, Internet infrastructure, proprietary software and automated prescription fulfillment, and was built on Microsoft's ASP.NET framework. Millennium Pharmacy's web-based solutions not only help care-givers be more efficient with time and patient care, but it also helps administrators streamline operations and reduce costs.

"Enabling the best, most efficient and accurate healthcare and services for our nursing home patients is of critical importance to us, and any delays in application performance are simply not acceptable," said Christopher Miller, vice president of product development at Millennium. "With Strangeloop's AS1000 Application Scaling Appliance deployed, our application performance has improved dramatically. Our care-givers across the board are seeing reduced data transaction delays and can now focus even more on patient care. The AS1000 supports our dedication to improving the healthcare and safety of nursing homes through cutting edge technology."

The Strangeloop AS1000 Application Scaling Appliance is a plug-and-play appliance that is deployed in-line between an enterprise's web servers and the network and accelerates applications developed using Microsoft ASP.NET and AJAX. No changes are required to the infrastructure or to the applications to be accelerated, freeing developers from application-tuning cycles and allowing them to create and deliver new and valuable features for their company. The AS1000 appliance puts ASP.NET traffic at line speed through a battery of framework-specific acceleration techniques and intelligently and automatically optimizes data requests in real-time, increasing capacity while reducing bandwidth and server requirements.

"The medication management services industry is not only life-critical but it is also data intensive. Millennium's vision to a build a superior patient health-care system based on advanced technologies such as Microsoft's ASP.NET framework is key to their success," said Jonathan Bixby, chief executive officer of Strangeloop. "We're delighted to be working with Millennium to optimize the performance of this incredibly complex and data rich application to ensure that the doctors, nurses and administrators using Millennium's services see exceptional performance."
