Nation's Fourth Largest Catholic Healthcare System Implements LegacySuite

Legacy Data Access (LDA), an innovator in data storage and Web-based solutions, announced today that Trinity Health, based in Novi, Michigan, has successfully completed its tenth implementation of the company's LegacySuite solution.

Marietta, GA (PRWEB) June 23, 2009 -- Legacy Data Access (LDA), an innovator in data storage and Web-based solutions, announced today that Trinity Health, based in Novi, Michigan, has successfully completed its tenth implementation of the company's LegacySuite solution.

Trinity Health selected LegacySuite for data from three MedSeries4 Patient Accounting systems from three of its hospitals in Iowa. The implementations were completed, from kick-off to go-live, in only 27 days.

The health system initially embarked on an extensive, across-the-board IT standardization project with the goal of all of its hospitals being converted to a standard set of solutions for revenue cycle, clinical and ERP processes. Although the project resulted in a highly efficient new operation, Trinity Health was left with miscellaneous retired applications, each which contained valuable data but required continued operating expenses and maintenance by Trinity's information systems team.

To combat this issue, Trinity Health decided to follow the theme 'Simplify through Standardization' and partnered with Legacy Data Access. With the data from each of the retired systems migrated under the LegacySuite umbrella, the health system is completing its IT simplification loop, resulting in a greatly simplified IT landscape and an enterprise-wide, consistent technology and methodology for all of its retired data.

"We are pleased to continue our relationship with Trinity Health through this newest implementation," explained Shelly Peters, CEO of Legacy Data Access. "Our LegacySuite solution provides Trinity with 24/7 access to its data from any type of database or data source and platform."

LegacySuite is a comprehensive solution set of data storage, real-time Web access, receivables management and reporting capabilities for retired healthcare applications. It allows hospitals and other healthcare organizations to retrieve data through a secure and encrypted requested system and view records online, downloaded to a PC or printed via an Internet browser. By maintaining and managing a hospital's data, the information continues to work for the facility with immediate savings and benefits and no loss of detail or integrity but without the need for a conversion.
