Mediture, a developer of healthcare information management software for Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) programs, today announced that Newtown Square, Pa.-based Catholic Health East has purchased its TruChart LIFEconnect(R) suite of products for use at the system’s headquarters and 5 PACE sites in three states.
“Mediture will help us design and implement a standardized software solution to support our Regional Health Corporations’ expansion in the PACE model of care. It will promote the use of best practices across all stakeholders within Catholic Health East,” said Donette Herring, Chief Information Officer for Catholic Health East.
The multi-institutional Catholic health system will use a number of Mediture’s products and services including:
-- TruChart LIFEconnect(R) to manage care for participants in its PACE facilities; -- TruChart LabConnect(R) to manage laboratory test requisition and results electronically; -- TruChart RxConnect(R) to connect with pharmacies for medication management.
Catholic Health East will utilize Mediture’s suite of products to coordinate and manage health care services for the elderly for MercyLIFE in Philadelphia, PA; LIFE St. Francis in Trenton, NJ; LIFE at Lourdes in Camden, NJ; LIFE St. Mary in Langhorne, PA; and St. Joseph of the Pines PACE, Southern Pines, NC. With Mediture’s TruChart product, new CHE PACE programs will begin operations with a complete electronic medical record that will contribute to optimal care management and outcomes.
Catholic Health East’s Continuing Care Management Services Network, which was initiated to support operational performance and strategic execution of its continuing care ministries, is working with Mediture and the PACE programs on this implementation.
“We are honored that a prestigious organization like Catholic Health East has placed such a high level of confidence in our ability to manage operations for their PACE providers,” said Kiran Simhadri, Chief Technology Officer of Mediture.
