Maitland, FL (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) January 31, 2005 -- Galvanon, the patient experience company, today
announced that it was selected as a finalist for the eighth annual 2005 MS-HUG
Awards in the Enabling Technologies category for its MediKiosk™ and Customer
Value Management Enterprise Server technology. The honors are awarded by MS-HUG,
a membership community of the Healthcare Information and Management Systems
Society (HIMSS), and recognize independent software vendors that develop
solutions on Microsoft technology for the healthcare industry. Award contestants
are evaluated on the extent to which they provide significant business benefits
to healthcare organizations and improve patient care.
Galvanon’s
MediKiosk is a patient self-service kiosk that automates patient registration
and check-in processes. Hospitals and physician practices use MediKiosk to
identify patients at check-in, gather necessary forms and signatures and collect
co-payments and outstanding balances. By using this self-service kiosk solution,
healthcare organizations realize shorter patient wait times, less redundant
paperwork, improved staff productivity and increased patient
satisfaction.
MediKiosk operates on Galvanon’s Customer Value Management
(CVM) Enterprise Server, a common platform that facilitates the seamless
exchange of data between MediKiosk and Galvanon’s other solutions, including
Online BillPay, Pre-Registration and Membership Manager modules.
“One of the biggest challenges that healthcare
organizations face is balancing the desire to increase patient satisfaction with
the need to control costs. Our self-service approach strikes this balance with
technology designed to improve the way that patient information is gathered,
stored and delivered throughout the care process,” said Clynt Taylor, CEO of
Galvanon. “It is truly an honor to be recognized by Microsoft for our efforts,
and we applaud them for acknowledging the transforming impact that technology
can have on the healthcare industry.”
“Galvanon demonstrates its
commitment to the healthcare industry with innovative solutions like MediKiosk,
leveraging Microsoft technology to improve staff productivity and increase
patient satisfaction through a more efficient and automated registration and
check-in process,“ said Steve Shihadeh, general manager, Microsoft Healthcare
and Life Sciences. “We are pleased to recognize Galvanon’s efforts to drive
integrated communication and collaboration solutions that enhance patient care
and help to control costs.”
Galvanon will demonstrate its products with
other finalists in the Microsoft booth at the HIMSS 2005 Conference &
