Galvanon and NEC Solutions America Form Strategic Alliance to Deliver Patient Self-Service Solutions to the Health Care Industry
Self-service applications enable hospitals and physician practices to reduce administrative costs, increase productivity and improve patient satisfaction
Maitland, FL & Santa Clara, CA (PRWEB via PR Web Direct) February 9, 2005 --
Galvanon, the patient experience company and NEC Solutions (America), Inc., a
premier provider of integrated solutions for the Connected Enterprise in North
America, today announced they have formed a strategic alliance to provide
patient self-service kiosks to the health care industry. Under the terms of the
agreement, NEC Solutions America will OEM Galvanon’s MediKiosk™ and customer
value management technology as a part of its branded patient self-service
solutions.
Galvanon’s MediKiosk is a free-standing kiosk with a
touch-screen interface that automates patient registration and check-in
processes. Using MediKiosk, patients can check in for appointments, verify
registration information, make a co-payment and find their way in a
facility.
Galvanon’s Customer Value Management Enterprise Server is the
foundation of Galvanon’s self-service applications, including the MediKiosk. The
single, end-to-end platform allows users to manage information across an
extended network, such as patient preferences and permissions. The software also
helps health care organizations manage patient flow through patient encounter
management features that enable front-desk personnel to view and manage
checked-in patients, saving time and improving workflow.
“NEC is
committed to delivering health care organizations with solutions and services to
improve patient safety, quality of care and reduce administrative costs.
Galvanon’s self-service applications are a natural fit with our solution
offering,” said Greg Sarrail, director of marketing and strategic alliances at
NEC Solutions America/Health Care Solutions Division. “Our relationship with
Galvanon reinforces our commitment to delivering cutting edge technology to the
health care industry and will provide our customers with the tools they need to
streamline the patient registration process.”

forces with NEC Solutions America, especially as it relates to helping hospitals
and physician practices optimize resources and improve patient satisfaction,”
said Clynt Taylor, CEO of Galvanon. “NEC recognizes the unique challenges facing
today’s health care organizations and is ideally suited to deliver this proven
and cost-effective technology to health care providers and patients across the
country.”
