New York-Presbyterian Hospital and Weill Cornell Medical College Select FatWire Software for Web Content Management
CHICAGO, IL, Sept. 28 -- FatWire Software, the sole leader in persuasive content-centric applications according to the most recent Forrester Wave Report, was selected by New York-Presbyterian Hospital and Weill Cornell Medical College -- two of the leading academic medical institutions in the world -- to manage their top-level Web sites and more than 200 of their department, division, center, and program Web sites.
Element115, an eHealth solution and implementation services company, provided eHealth Accelerator -- which was built on FatWire's robust Content Server platform -- to help rapidly deploy Web sites focused on attracting, converting, and retaining new patients and referring physicians.
"After carefully evaluating dozens of industry-leading products, the choice became obvious. FatWire Software and Element115 offered the optimal solution for our Content Management System," said Virgil Wong, Head of Web Services at both New York-Presbyterian Hospital and Weill Cornell Medical College.
"Every Hospital webmaster faces unique challenges in addressing the needs of many physicians, faculty, and staff members in different departments -- while also maintaining the architecture, branding, and design integrity of the overall institution," Wong added. "FatWire presented the most promising mechanism for managing all of these requirements. Content Server and eHealth Accelerator are most impressive in how they manage distributed authorship and approvals, share and relate content across multiple sites, enforce templates while accommodating creative customization, and provide interactive tools customized for the complexities of an academic healthcare environment. These Web-based features are a crucial next step in our on-going efforts to advance the state and art of medicine and communicative technologies."
New York-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell's decision to implement eHealth Accelerator, a powerful consumer relationship solution for healthcare providers, reflects a larger trend of FatWire's latest success in persuasive Web Content Management.
"FatWire is honored to have been chosen by two world-renowned establishments such as New York-Presbyterian Hospital and Weill Cornell Medical College," said Ken Delaney, Vice President of Sales. "We are very pleased to support their initiative to redefine the healthcare experience for the better and creatively implement our technology in service of their patients, physicians, researchers, students, and staff," Delaney added.
New York-Presbyterian Hospital
New York-Presbyterian Hospital, which was formed by the merger of The New York Hospital and The Presbyterian Hospital, is heir to some of the major medical breakthroughs of the past 200 years. The hospital was the first to use the smallpox vaccine and the first to open a Children's Hospital. More recently, among many revolutionary innovations, New York-Presbyterian Hospital was the first American hospital performing heart and lung robotic surgery and the first to use gene therapy for Parkinson's disease.
New York-Presbyterian Hospital -- based in New York City -- is the largest not-for-profit, non-sectarian hospital in the country, with 2,397 beds. It provides state-of-the-art inpatient, ambulatory, and preventive care in all areas of medicine at five major centers: New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center, New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center, Children's Hospital of New York- Presbyterian, The Allen Pavilion, and The Westchester Division. One of the largest and most comprehensive healthcare institutions in the world, the Hospital is committed to excellence in patient care, research, education, and community service. It consistently ranks as one of the top hospitals in the country in U.S. News & World Report's guide America's Best Hospitals, and in many other leading surveys. The Hospital has academic affiliations with two of the country's leading medical colleges: Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and the Joan and Sanford I. Weill Medical College of Cornell University.
The New York-Presbyterian Healthcare System -- which includes acute-care and community hospitals, long-term care facilities, ambulatory sites, and specialty institutes -- is committed to providing high-quality, cost-effective, and conveniently accessible care to communities throughout the tri-state metropolitan region. The System serves one in four patients in the New York metropolitan area. For more information about New York-Presbyterian Hospital, visit http://www.nyp.org.
The Joan and Sanford I. Weill Medical College
The Joan and Sanford I. Weill Medical College of Cornell University -- located in New York City -- is committed to excellence in research, teaching, patient care and the advancement of the art and science of medicine. The Medical College, which is a principal academic affiliate of New York- Presbyterian Hospital, offers an innovative curriculum that integrates the teaching of basic and clinical sciences, problem-based learning, office-based preceptorships, and primary care and doctoring courses. Physicians and scientists of Weill Cornell Medical College are engaged in cutting-edge research in such areas as stem cell biology, genetics and gene therapy, geriatrics, neuroscience, structural biology, cardiovascular medicine, AIDS, obesity, cancer and psychiatry -- and continue to delve ever deeper into the molecular basis of disease in an effort to unlock the mysteries behind the human body and the malfunctions that result in serious medical disorders. Weill Cornell Medical College is the birthplace of many medical advances -- from the development of the Pap test for cervical cancer to the synthesis of penicillin, the first successful embryo-biopsy pregnancy and birth in the U.S., and most recently, the world's first clinical trial for gene therapy for Parkinson's disease. Weill Cornell's Physician Organization includes 650 clinical faculty, who provide the highest quality of care to their patients.
