eHealth Global Technologies Continues Growth with New Contracts at Leading U.S. Transplant Departments
ROCHESTER, N.Y., February 26, 2009 — eHealth Global Technologies announced today that the company’s impressive growth continues, with three leading transplant centers across the U.S. selecting the company’s eHealthConnect® medical record management service. Joining the nearly 30 transplant centers across the U.S. already using eHealth Global’s eHealthConnect service are Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals (Philadelphia, PA), University of California, San Francisco, and SUNY Downstate Medical Center (Brooklyn, NY).
Transplant programs have a critical need to gather prior patient pathology, lab, and radiology reports and radiological images to support the patient listing process for organ transplantation. eHealthConnect replaces ad hoc data collection with a systematic method that makes patient medical records reliably and quickly available to authorized clinicians. Clinicians make one request to the eHealth Global customer support team who then collect, digitize, organize, store and secure medical records for prompt clinical viewing.
“Across the U.S., transplant departments have a verified need for our eHealthConnect service,´ says Michael Margiotta, Chief Executive Officer, eHealth Global. “By assisting these facilities with their medical record collection, we are helping them improve the level and speed of care that they can offer to patients by listing them sooner then they would otherwise. Our solution not only save time, but reduces the costs associated with retrieving external medical records.”
