Cooper Green Mercy Hospital Selects OpenVista Solution
Birmingham, Ala., and San Diego—Medsphere Systems Corporation, the leading provider of open-source healthcare enterprise solutions, today announced a new contract with Cooper Green Mercy Hospital in Birmingham, Ala., for implementation of the OpenVista® electronic health record (EHR) and associated clinical transformation services. The county-owned medical center will take advantage of OpenVista's comprehensive clinical support and Medsphere’s rapid implementation process to affordably improve care and secure the maximum federal stimulus funding.
"OpenVista is the financially responsible choice, especially for a county facility, and requires Cooper Green to sacrifice nothing in terms of clinical IT support as compared with much, much more expensive systems," said Dr. Sandral Hullett, CEO at Cooper Green Mercy Hospital. “We selected the most clinically proven system in order to qualify for the first year of [American Recovery and Reinvestment Act] ARRA meaningful use payments. With OpenVista, we are able to achieve both our clinical and financial goals, and that was not possible with other choices.”
