"NHC is recognized nationwide as an innovator in the delivery of quality care. We see our employees as partners, and working together, all 13,000+ of us, our goal is to make the lives of those we serve the best they can possibly be. When it came time for choosing a new EHR platform, scores of partners, across all professional disciplines and service lines, contributed their expertise," said Dr. Steve Flatt, President. "When we saw LG CNS in action, we were impressed with how   comprehensive and functional it was."

Telemedicine, Electronic Health Records, and the Point of Care Solution (POCS) smart mobile platform from LG CNS will be deployed across service lines. The LG CNS Population Health Cloud will unify the following in a single system: a true longitudinal patient record repository, Health Information Exchange (HIE), call center integration, case management, alerts/notifications, nurse triage, telemedicine, claims integration, analytics, and more.

"As our nation's healthcare system evolves, we recognized three major business needs: to create efficiencies to optimize resources for focusing on quality; to coordinate care up and down the continuum; and make care more predictive and proactive," offered Flatt. "Working closely with LG CNS, we look forward to achieving these goals in addition to a great customer experience supported by quality outcomes."

"As momentum for care coordination accelerates nationwide to drive goals for population health, NHC will be well positioned to improve transitions of care, enhance the patient and care team experience; and impact outcomes--within the company's own network and across the healthcare continuum," said Robert Choi, Chief Strategy Officer for Collain Healthcare. "We look forward to empowering teams at NHC to achieve goals for quality care delivery, backed by the data-driven performance that regional partners will increasingly demand."
