Winners were selected by Sunquest and SUG Inc., the Sunquest user group organization, from applications submitted from the Sunquest client base of more than 1,700 laboratories. This year’s selected organizations include:
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) received the award for innovation in diagnostic communities. Leveraging Sunquest and existing technology, UPMC connected their hospital laboratories to their ambulatory locations, creating an interoperable infrastructure that enabled them to entirely eliminate paper processes. With this new solution they implemented electronic lab orders and automated specimen collection label printing, while integrating clinical test results with physician and hospital EMRs and improving turnaround time of results to patients.
BSA Health Systems is recognized for innovation in public health management and keeping the community happy and healthy. Several times a year, BSA Health Systems hosts public health fairs, providing free laboratory tests to improve population health. In spite of the goodwill nature of the health fairs, they created a considerable strain on staff and resulted in laboratory delays. With Sunquest specimen tracking and collection solutions, BSA improved results turnaround time by up to 48 hours.
