With more than 10,000 employees in Western Washington, approximately 7,500 clinical staff (physicians, nurses and ancillary technicians) utilize their clinical applications. To provide patients with the highest quality of care, the clinical staff need those systems to work flawlessly 24/7, outage-free. The Providence IS team knew they needed an end-to-end application performance management solution that monitors end-user experience from the perspective that matters the most — that of the physician/clinician. That’s when they turned to Compuware.

“Compuware EHR Service Delivery will help meet our business needs by providing the needed data around the performance of our critical applications,” said Curt N. Kwak, Chief Information Officer of Providence Health & Services Western Washington Region. “This end-to-end visibility will enable us to be more proactive and definitive in the way we support our application users and in turn, will allow the clinical staff to provide exceptional patient care, which is part of the regional Transformational vision.”

Compuware’s EHR Service Delivery ensures clinical applications deliver the consistent, high-quality experience from the clinician’s perspective that is required to maximize productivity and minimize risk to patients. The solution captures performance data across all infrastructure tiers ensuring optimal EHR performance.

“Poor performance and unexpected downtime diminishes overall hospital productivity and jeopardizes patient care,” said Larry Angeli, Vice President, Compuware Healthcare Solutions. “Healthcare organizations like Providence Health & Services can cut the risk of these scenarios significantly by maintaining optimal performance and availability with Compuware’s EHR Service Delivery solution. Now Providence Health physicians and clinicians can be less concerned about system outages and focus more on providing quality care to patients.”

Compuware will showcase EHR Service Delivery at the HIMSS 2010 Conference, March 1-4 in Atlanta, GA at booth #4608.
