Frost & Sullivan Recognizes SCI Solutions with the Technology Innovation and Leadership Award for Enterprise Patient Scheduling
Los Gatos, Calif. – March 29, 2005 – Frost & Sullivan, a global growth consulting company, has recognized SCI Solutions with the 2004 Technology Leadership Award for patient scheduling software solutions.
"SCI's technology innovation has aided hospital outpatient centers throughout the nation in garnering operational efficiency, optimizing business performance, and most importantly, enhancing physician to patient relations, stated Vivek Subramany, Industry Analyst, Frost & Sullivan. "With a unique and progressive approach to technology deployment and functionality within healthcare, Frost & Sullivan anticipates substantial growth and continued customer satisfaction for the firm."
Known as scheduling.com upon its founding in 2000, SCI Solutions was among the first to offer operational, enterprise software over the internet. SCI offers clients an easy-to-use ASP platform, featuring a fixed monthly subscription fee. Customers can connect multiple departments, facilities, and staff within a single enterprise solution and maximize resource utilization. Leveraging the World Wide Web, SCI has helped its customer's transition scheduling from a purely administrative function, to a strategic differentiator. With SCI, hospitals can allow self-scheduling to occur, not only by department, but also by a physician's office or even by a patient from their home.
SCI offers sophisticated capabilities not found in legacy applications such as a rules based engine, and an automated knowledge database which includes medical rules, financial rules, physician and even unique payer rules with built-in intelligence.
"With cost saving on high priority alert amongst the nations providers, taking scheduling technology beyond simple book to desktop conversion, will be vital to garnering continued value from these applications", notes Subramany. He continues, "Frost & Sullivan believes scheduling solutions such as SCI Solution's dynamic technology offering will be vital to optimizing business efficiency and patient care at the very front end. Through rules based applications such as these, hospitals stand to eliminate the potential for financial loss caused not only by the underutilization of resources but errors and mismanagement of information occurring during the registration process."
SCI's Senior Vice President of R&D Kristy Roesner responded by saying, "We are excited that our hard work and innovation in Access Management continues to be recognized, as our solution has won an award every year since the company's inception."
