Abington Memorial Hospital Celebrates Milestone with Alpha ImageWorks® Release of Information Module
Huntingdon Valley, PA (PRWEB) December 02, 2014 -- Abington Memorial Hospital, part of Abington Health, recently achieved a major milestone in its Clinical Information Services Department. As of last week, the members of the Release of Information Team successfully fulfilled 100,000 release of information requests over an eight-and-a-half year period utilizing the Alpha ImageWorks Release of Information Module. Alpha ImageWorks is an Electronic Document Management software solution that supports quick and secure retrieval of health information, ensuring no breakdowns or bottlenecks occur in a hospital’s quest to provide timely access to electronic data. Through use of the Alpha ImageWorks application, Abington Memorial Hospital has been able to process hundreds of Release of Information requests on a weekly basis while maintaining the confidentiality required by federal and state statutes. The Alpha ImageWorks ROI module gives hospitals and health systems the power to rapidly respond to requests from patients, physicians, insurance companies, and legal entities.
To celebrate the milestone, Alpha Systems President, Scott Griffith, and Director of Client Services, Jordan Bires, hosted a luncheon to celebrate the partnership and congratulate the department on all their hard work.
“As a customer of Alpha Systems for nearly 36 years, we are proud of Abington for adapting to the evolution occurring within healthcare,” said Griffith. “Abington Health is using Alpha ImageWorks throughout the patient lifecycle to improve patient care and this ROI milestone is a key example. It is an honor to be a part of their accomplishments.”
