Boynton Beach, FL (PRWEB) July 08, 2014 -- Bethesda Health, Inc., comprised of not-for-profit hospitals Bethesda Hospital East and Bethesda Hospital West, has announced a partnership with Care Logistics® to adopt the Hospital Operating SystemTM. The collaboration, entitled Commitment-2-Care or “C-2-C,” advances Bethesda’s focus to deliver exceptional care to their patients through a real time approach ensuring that patients receive the right care, at the right time and at the right place.
“Our partnership with Care Logistics allows us to amplify the best of what we already do in terms of delivering compassionate, quality care to each and every patient,” said Roger Kirk, FACHE, president and CEO of Bethesda Health. “The Care Logistics system combines bold new thinking with centralized care coordination and logistics software to drive continuous improvement in patient care outcomes, safety and quality.”
