MED3OOO SIGNS ASP DEAL WITH HAMMOND CLINIC
PITTSBURGH, PA - MED3OOO Group, Inc. (MED3OOO), a privately-held national healthcare management and technology company, recently announced that it has entered into a 5-year Application Service Provider (ASP) and IT Outsourcing agreement with Hammond Clinic, located in Munster, Indiana, which offers a full compliment of cross-specialty, comprehensive healthcare services to patients in Northeastern Illinois and Northwestern Indiana.
Under the agreement, MED3OOO will begin hosting Hammond Clinic's current Misys Vision Practice Management, Managed Care and Electronic Medical Records infrastructure and will assume all helpdesk, training, and infrastructure support. MED3OOO will enhance Hammond Clinic's utilization of the Vision system by extracting all historical data along the continuum of care and flowing it through its MED3OOO/IQ™ proprietary data warehouse solution. This progressive management tool, will allow Hammond Clinic to not only generate advanced operational analysis, but also obtain reporting for immunizations, prevention and chronic disease states to better manage their patient population.
"We selected MED3OOO as our IT Outsourcing vendor because of their extensive operational expertise in information technology and practice operations. They are able to bring a level of expertise, systems redundancy, and the most technologically advanced equipment that our budget could never match. They are able to utilize our current Misys systems and enhance our reporting capabilities, eliminating the need for an expensive capital investment. In addition to the system, they will provide us with full IT support and training as well as the detailed reporting analysis from their data warehouse to improve operational and patient care," explained Robert A. Underwood, Administrator of Hammond Clinic.
"For many years, countless physicians and physician networks have come to rely on us for advanced knowledge and strategic guidance combined with expert resources in operations and technology. They have come to respect our organization for the integrity and commitment with which we manage each client's unique situation. MED3OOO is committed to providing these resources to physicians to enhance their leadership position in the delivery of healthcare services. Unlike the typical technology vendors, we provide services to over 3,000 physicians and utilize these systems ourselves for our own operations. Physician practices are under extreme pressure to improve clinical outcomes while at the same time they suffer from increased overhead and reduced reimbursements. Our mission is to bring our advanced resources to physicians so that they can meet these advanced expectations, " said Dan Wiens, MED3OOO President of the Central Region.
