Sandlot, a healthcare solutions company based in Fort Worth, TX, unveiled its flagship solution, SandlotConnect® health information exchange, now available for implementation by healthcare communities, physician organizations and government entities, during the HIMSS10 Annual Conference and Exhibition in Atlanta, GA on March 1, 2010.
The solution is based on a best-of-breed amalgamation of Lawson Technology as a core component plus support through process, procedure and people. It currently serves more than 1,400 clinicians and more than 1.4 million patients, processing tens of thousands of data transactions per day, in the North Texas region.
“There has been plenty of talk about the potential of health information technology to reduce costs across the system, create efficiencies and improve the quality of care, but no one offered a solution that was easy to implement, really worked with existing electronic medical record systems, and was easy to use every day. Until now,” says Telly Shackelford, CEO of Sandlot. So Sandlot, founded and led by a group of practicing physicians, developed SandlotConnect to serve, first, the physicians of North Texas Specialty Physicians, a 600-member organization based in Tarrant County, TX.
"SandlotConnect reinvents HIE,” says Tom M. Deas, Jr., MD, and Chief Medical Officer of Sandlot. ”It includes all the connection and interface technology and experienced consultation that’s essential to building a true information exchange. It will transform the model of care physicians can provide their patients. It matches the real-world workflow of a physician’s practice. And it provides a single view of all critical information about patients so physicians can make more informed decisions, faster.”
Marketing representatives from the company are actively discussing implementation of SandlotConnect in communities across the country. For further information about SandlotConnect, contact the company at 1-800-370-1393.
