Leamington hospital selects
MediSolution’s Virtuo
LEAMINGTON, Ont. – Leamington
District Memorial Hospital has purchased MediSolution’s Virtuo Business
Intelligence (BI) enterprise solution. The Virtuo BI system will be
implemented throughout the hospital’s organization and will allow the
management team to concurrently track performance and monitor trends
across a number of clinical, financial and resource management systems.
The solution will be implemented over the next three months.
Specifically designed for healthcare organizations, the Virtuo Business
Intelligence solution turns data into web-based dashboards and
scorecards allowing managers to track key performance indicators (KPIs)
to quickly identify trends and implement appropriate action.
Leamington District Memorial Hospital will use the system to monitor and
report on 27 initial KPIs that have been specifically designed to track
performance metrics for the Ontario Ministry of Health’s performance
scorecard. For example, current ratio, emergency room average length of
stay, turnover rate, and readmission rate.
“We really appreciated the exceptional level of healthcare data
management expertise offered by MediSolution” said Sarah Padfield, Vice
President Corporate Services at Leamington District Memorial Hospital.
“The solution allows us to maximize the investments we have already made
in our existing Virtuo Financial Management and Virtuo Payroll systems,
but also integrate and crossover data from other mission-critical
systems we have in our infrastructure.”
The Virtuo Business Intelligence solution will be deployed using
Microsoft’s BI solutions, including Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and Office
Performance Point Server 2007 (PPS). Gartner Research recently released
its Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence Platforms, 2008 and placed
Microsoft ahead of the competition in terms of its ability to execute,
including the competitiveness and success of its BI goods and services,
its viability and investment in BI and the execution of its sales and
pricing.
The Office PerformancePoint Server 2007 is an integrated performance
management application with an intuitive user interface that is similar
to other Microsoft Office tools and applications. This also allows users
to build new KPIs on their own or in conjunction with a certified
partner, provided that the underlying data is well structured and
organized.
“We are delighted to have Leamington District Memorial Hospital join our
growing list of Business Intelligence customers,” said Paul Lepage,
President and Chief Executive Officer at MediSolution. “The combination
of our unique data management expertise, being a Microsoft Certified
Partner and using Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server provides our
customers with an exclusive scalable and user-friendly BI solution for
the healthcare marketplace.”
