QuadraMed has announced that the Los Altos Hills, Calif.-based Daughters of Charity Health System has signed a $15.8 million contract to expand the use of QuadraMed CPR (QCPR) across its five-hospital network.
TThe agreement is in addition to the $6.7 million Phase 1 agreement for the QCPR integrated medication management system, which was signed on Nov. 30, 2006.
With this contract, DCHS has purchased software and services for the QCPR platform including interactive care-grid, order management, access management, clinical decision support, nursing documentation, chart management and additional software for scheduling, electronic document management, medical records, computerized physician order entry and patient registration.
"QuadraMed's commitment to enhancing the QCPR platform and their ability to deliver a full, end-to-end, integrated solution over time were key factors in our decision. We continue to be quite pleased with how QuadraMed has assumed responsibility for QCPR," said Richard Hutsell, DCHS's vice president and chief information officer.
QuadraMed's solution is expected to streamline administrative functions and optimize organizational revenue and DCHS has standardized on QCPR for their electronic health record platform.
"We're delighted to be DCHS' vendor of choice," said Keith Hagen, QuadraMed's president and CEO. "This win adds to the growing success we have experienced in the marketplace and validates our QCPR strategy and acquisition decision. I am pleased to say that we have now signed contracts for QCPR that have a cumulative total contract value well in excess of the $33 million we paid for that business just 10 months ago."
