Picis Chooses Summit Healthcare’s Summit Scripting Toolkit to Embrace the Challenge of MEDITECH 5.6/6.0 Integration
 

BRAINTREE, Mass.— November 9, 2009 — Summit Healthcare, a leader in healthcare system integration and task automation, today announced it has renewed a long-term vendor agreement with Picis to address its MEDITECH integration needs. Picis is a global provider of innovative information solutions that help increase patient satisfaction, improve clinicians’ access to patient information and optimize organizational efficiency in the acute care areas of the hospital such as the ED, OR, PACU and ICU.

The new MEDITECH 5.6/6.0 technology presented new challenges for MEDITECH hospitals and vendors alike. Picis, a long-term vendor partner with Summit Healthcare, approached Summit Healthcare when determining its new integration business model to support customers on this technology. Picis needed its solutions to integrate seamlessly with the MEDITECH 5.6/6.0 platforms, as well as any subsequent versions. Summit Healthcare worked closely with Picis to demonstrate the robust functionality of the Summit Scripting Toolkit 7, which was a rebuilt, ground up effort of the latest scripting and integration technology available on the market today. SST 7 has been proven to handle the intricacies of the new MEDITECH platforms such as a unique non-positional approach to data capture that provides script reliability.

“As the leading supplier of high-acuity information systems — ED, OR and ICU — into the MEDITECH install base, we have found the Summit Healthcare toolset integrates the essential data between Picis and MEDITECH needed in these demanding areas of the hospital, yet it’s very easy to deploy. The Summit K2 engine fits seamlessly into our products and enables us to be the go-to company for MEDITECH customers who want both high functionality in high acuity care areas, and tight integration with MEDITECH,” remarked Jason Caturano, Director of Service Operations, at Picis.
