GetWellNetwork Automates Alerts

GetWell Network has collaborated with EXTENSION, Inc. at Norton Brownsboro Hospital in Louisville, KY.  EXTENSION integrates web services-based medical applications with Cisco Advanced Unified Communications enabling the GetWell Network system to connect directly to the attending nurse.  The integration is accomplished through a new systems interface developed by GetWell Network using the HL7 protocol and sends alerts that inform nurses when patients have not completed education videos or other service requests.  "The GetWell Network system provides us with valuable input from our patients but we needed an automated way for that information to be delivered to the handheld Cisco phones that are assigned to each of our staff on a given day," said Doug Winkelhake, President, Norton Brownsboro Hospital.  "We appreciate how quickly GetWellNetwork and EXTENSION came together to help us make patient experience and quality of care much better and more efficient."
