Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) June 11, 2007

Carefx Corporation today announced that Trillium Health Centre (Trillium), one of Canada's leading healthcare providers, has gone live with Fusion from Carefx, a patient data aggregation platform designed to automate clinical workflow. Fusion seamlessly integrates patient information from diverse applications and databases at the user interface level, saving time and delivering relevant information to the appropriate user, at the right time and place. It reduces the time clinicians spend searching for the information they need to diagnose and treat their patients, while delivering overall increased IT efficiency.

The use of Fusion from Carefx™ is part of Trillium's ambitious $100 million THINK Initiative aimed at redefining the entire care delivery process centered on the patient. Utilizing the latest innovations in healthcare technology including Fusion from Carefx to optimize care, Trillium has provided their care providers with an integrated means of accessing patient data residing in the Centre's state of the art Eclipsys Sunrise Clinical Manager, as well as the legacy Meditech applications, and other systems including AGFA PACS and GE MUSE. Trillium will continue to roll out the solution to over 2300 clinicians and medical record personnel who will have real-time access to critical patient data at every clinical workstation throughout the medical facility.

"Carefx has a strong understanding of, and commitment to, our vision and mission. They have provided outstanding service and counsel and we will complete the deployment of Fusion within budget. Carefx is providing our staff with faster access to patient information in both existing applications and those we are rolling out as part of our new core system," said Wayne Mills, vice president of Information Services and CIO at Trillium Health Centre. "With Meditech applications already running in all areas of our hospital, it was crucial for us to find a solution that could fully and easily integrate both new and old programs while also extending the value of our single sign-on solution. Carefx's strength in understanding clinical workflow was clear to us from the outset and the result is a solution that delivers secure access to patient data. Fusion breaks down the information barrier that used to exist and enables our clinicians to continue delivering industry-leading care."

"Carefx understands both the importance of helping hospitals extend existing technology investments and the impact a timely and well thought-out implementation can have on overall healthcare delivery," said Andrew Hurd, Chairman and CEO for Carefx. "We are excited to be able to take on the challenges of aggregating patient data from multiple complex and demanding systems and to provide clinicians, nurses and staff at Trillium with access to the information they need to deliver the best possible patient care. We are proud to be a part of securing Trillium's position as a leading provider of quality patient care and look forward to continued success in the healthcare market."
