USCCG NAMED EXCLUSIVE PARTNER FOR HARMONIZEIT™ HEALTHCARE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Tampa, FL - USC Consulting Group, LLC, has been named exclusive partner for a revolutionary patient flow software solution for hospitals called HarmonizeIT for Healthcare. The software toolset was created by Palm Harbor, FL-based VB Studios, Inc.
"The HarmonizeIT product suite," according to Vince Albanese, VB Studios president, "promises to dramatically enhance the way computers help prioritize and filter the vast amount of information that bombards hospital personnel each day. Our partnership with USCCG combines the solid reputation and skills of a successful consulting partner with our unique, leading-edge tools."
Developed with the cooperation of four leading hospitals, HarmonizeIT™ is designed to:
- achieve better levels of control over admission, discharge and transfer processes;
- speed up patient flow by focusing on discharge rather than admission; and
- implement continuous improvement to reach best-in-class results.
Albanese adds, “HarmonizeIT™ has passed all internal and client tests for functionality and reliability. Our clients, which include hospitals in the HCA, Cleveland Clinic and Methodist Hospital systems, have demonstrated solid, long-lasting benefits from using this tool, which has also proven to be extremely user-friendly.”
“This product,” explains USCCG Healthcare Practice Leader John D'Alesandro “is the ideal fit for the kind of complex adaptive structure that exists in hospitals. It simplifies and channels the flow of information to the appropriate people at the appropriate times helping to improve patient flow/throughput, without increasing staff workloads.”
The typical hospital may have dozens of information systems providing data pertinent to patient flow. Integrating these systems with a patient flow solution is critical to enabling better workflow and communication. The HarmonizeIT™ system includes:
- fully functional bed control, housekeeping and transportation management;
- wireless pocket PC versions for bed control;
- telephone-based answer-back system for responses; and
- an advanced statistics forecast for managing discharges.
The HarmonizeIT™ software components are designed to operate either with other existing technology or independently, making it an affordable alternative to competitors.
“Adding HarmonizeIT for Healthcare to USCCG's expertise,” explains VB Studios Business Development Executive Eileen Smith, “provides a comprehensive patient flow solution to hospitals that is unavailable through any other source. We are proud to partner with a company that shares our mission of achieving sustainable operational results.”
