OZARK, MO June 14, 2009 - Jewish Home Lifecare, which serves more than 10,000 individuals annually via skilled nursing and rehabilitation centers in Manhattan, Bronx and Westchester, plus Community Services, has chosen HealthMEDX as their information system.  The Nursing Homes, Adult Day Care and Senior Housing will utilize HealthMEDX’s customer relationship management, census, clinical EHR, and financial applications.

Jewish Home Lifecare has grown over the past decade and with its growth has developed the need for an enterprise solution to meet the needs of its diverse programs and care settings. HealthMEDX was identified as the ideal vendor to provide Jewish Home Lifecare with a master patient index (a single record) for all resident/patient information regardless of the setting.  

“As a health system, we manage multiple locations, programs and care settings in the New York City metropolitan area stated Thomas J. Gilmartin, Chief Administrative Officer of Jewish Home Lifecare.  “Given the complexity of our operating environment and our requirements for a system, we feel that HealthMEDX is the one vendor that can provide our System with an integrated enterprise solution”.

The HealthMEDX system will manage over 5,000 resident admissions per year for the Jewish Home Lifecare system.  The full HealthMEDX suite will be installed to provide all the various benefits from the solution.  The HealthMEDX system will also be integrating with Jewish Home Lifecare’s physician practice management solution to help provide a true, comprehensive EHR record for each resident/patient.

“Integration is a key component for any information system in today’s healthcare market” stated Charlie Daniels, President HealthMEDX. “We support various clients like Jewish Home Lifecare across the United States.  Healthcare providers understand that interoperability is key to success in our current healthcare information climate.  We have regulatory agencies like CCHIT forming to establish standards and investment from our government for interoperable records.  It only makes sense that providers are looking for a solution like HealthMEDX that looks to the future and is able to grow with industry demands.”
