American Hospital Association endorses Vecna Medical kiosks
January 25, 2009
CHICAGO — The American Hospital Association has awarded an exclusive endorsement to Vecna Medical, a Maryland-based technology company, for its kiosk and Patient Portal services, according to a news release.
AHA Solutions Inc., a subsidiary of the AHA, awards the AHA endorsement to organizations that help member hospitals and health care organizations achieve organizational excellence.
After a thorough review of vendors in the market, AHA Solutions selected Vecna's Kiosk / Patient Portal because of its ability to integrate disparate information systems. In order to truly benefit from these solutions, a patient must be able to access certain information and have any updates or requests based off of that information communicated back to the hospital. Vecna's integration experience and consultative nature was a standout for the AHA and their members.
"Vecna was selected because they can truly consider the individual needs of each hospital and then combine that with their technical expertise to make it a good fit for the hospital," said Anthony Burke, president and chief executive of AHA Solutions. "We value their commitment to hospitals and patients, their innovative thinking and their partnership approach."
