Wayne, PA — Core Solutions Inc. announced today that it will hold an award ceremony Thursday, February 11, 2010, in recognition of Wedge Medical Center, a local, highly respected behavioral health organization’s dedication to advancing patient care through electronic health record (EHR) technology. PA House of Representatives Majority Chair, Rep. W. Curtis Thomas will be there for the presentation of the award.
The Wedge Medical Center, a provider of comprehensive drug and alcohol and mental health treatment for people in the Philadelphia area, will receive the Client Innovation Spotlight award from Core Solutions. Core executives say the agency, which serves over 7,000 clients in more than 10 locations, provides a great example of how organizations can collaborate to achieve improved results in healthcare technology.
Under the leadership of Wedge’s CEO Pat Palmer and Chief Compliance Officer Dr. Lawrence M. Schoen, the agency expressed its goal to find a way to keep track of a variety of clinician notes for clients on an individual level, as well as a note that tied them together in a group environment. Core was then able to craft this idea of a group encounter note and will offer this feature as part of its flagship software product, Web Care.
“We hope this award will not only highlight Wedge’s commitment to providing quality service through health information technology,” said Core President Ravi Ganesan, “but also show our appreciation for their passion and ingenuity.”
Core Solutions, a market leader in EHR solutions for the behavioral health industry, will present its longtime client with the award at an afternoon ceremony in Philadelphia, which will also include a photo opportunity.
“As we grow, Web Care collects data in a way that hasn't existed before in Philadelphia. It allows us to look at data that no one has ever looked at before,” says Dr. Schoen. “Styles of treatment and patterns emerge which allows for treatment analysis and increased efficacy and efficiency outcome measures."
