CINCINNATI, July 6 /PRNewswire/ -- CTG HealthCare Solutions, Inc. (CTGHS), a top information technology (IT) consulting firm serving the healthcare industry, was ranked as the leading implementer of acute care clinical IT systems in the KLAS Enterprises* “Top 20: 2005 Mid-Year Report Card” issued June, 2005. The report is based on interviews with healthcare providers that utilize outside vendors to perform services for their organizations. It summarizes detailed performance data on healthcare IT (HIT) vendors and professional services providers.
The study also named CTGHS as second overall among HIT professional services providers, based on accumulated scores in a range of professional services performance categories. The rating categories included full outsourcing, clinical implementation, financial implementation, and planning and assessment.
KLAS, a research and analysis company that specializes in monitoring and reporting on the performance of HIT vendors and professional services firms, issued its first professional services report in October, 2004. In that study, CTGHS clients rated the company as second in acute care clinical implementations. The October KLAS survey also found that CTGHS had implemented acute care clinical systems for a wider range of industry software products than any other firm participating in the study.
“The KLAS Top 20 Mid-Year Report Card provides invaluable feedback from our clients,” said CTGHS Vice President for Strategic Planning and Marketing, Clair Detraz. “We’re pleased that CTGHS continues to emerge as a strong industry leader in acute care clinical implementations, and we’re also gratified by our high overall standing relative to our professional services peers.
