Alpha Systems, a premier provider of electronic data and document management solutions, has been named vendor of choice for Winthrop-University Hospital, of Mineola, New York. Alpha will provide enterprise EDM software and day-after-discharge document scanning services.
Winthrop-University Hospital’s partnership with Alpha Systems began in 2001, with medical record document imaging services. Winthrop has since implemented Alpha ImageWorks(TM) ASP solution for access to scanned emergency department records.
“We’ve shared a long-term, positive relationship with Alpha Systems and look forward to continued growth of this relationship,” says Maryellen McGowan, MS, RHIA, CPC, and Director of Health Information Management for Winthrop-University Hospital. “We’re excited to implement Alpha’s enterprise electronic document management solution. Clinicians will now be able to view previous visits and launch right into labs, EKGs, consultations, progress notes, discharge summaries and more. This virtual EMR will help us improve patient care outcomes.”
Maureen Gaffney RPAC RN, Chief Medical Information Officer and Director of PA/NP Services at Winthrop-University Hospital, agrees. “As a clinician, I look forward to easy access to patient medical records via Alpha’s solution, which will expedite development of individualized plans of care. This information will enhance the quality of the care we provide by allowing the practitioners to view the entire continuum of patient care and make timely clinical decisions based on documented historical information and clinical presentation.”
“We are pleased that Winthrop-University Hospital has selected Alpha Systems to help execute their paperless strategy,” commented Brett Griffith, President of Alpha Systems. “We look forward to providing the technology and services to give Winthrop clinicians and administrative staff instant, secure access to critical health information.”
