TUCSON, Ariz.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sunquest Information Systems, Inc., the leader in laboratory information solutions, announced today it has recognized HNL Lab Medicine as a Center of Excellence for its superior commitment to laboratory innovation, and for using Sunquest solutions to improve care for the patient community and drive greater efficiency for the organization.
The Center of Excellence program recognizes world-class health systems that utilize Sunquest solutions to support the strategic direction of their organization. This includes establishing and promoting best practices that improve patient safety, decrease the cost of healthcare, streamline provider care, and provide thought leadership and recommendations on new and existing Sunquest products.
Headquartered in Allentown, PA, HNL Medicine generates more than 60 million clinical and anatomic pathology results for approximately 3 million patients and 12,000 healthcare providers each year. During the COVID-19 pandemic, HNL Medicine supported its patient community, from local colleges, screening partnerships with international services for pre-travel screening, and full support of Lehigh Valley Health Network lab testing throughout the state. An innovative organization, HNL Lab Medicine drives improved patient safety and efficiency with bedside collections and labeling, multiple lab network workflows with one instance of the Sunquest Laboratory™ solution, and real-time results delivery, including genetic testing, via Sunquest CoPathPlus™. One example of this technology innovation is with HNL’s “Red Lab initiative” that uses Sunquest products to run multiple labs as a single entity, with a goal of reducing test results turnaround by 50%, and decrease overcrowding and length of stay in the emergency department.
“Our partnership with Sunquest has enabled our organization to be nimble and innovative, bringing forward new technologies and processes, expanding our services to more health systems, and driving one of the highest health system operating margins in the state,” said Harvey B. Guindi, Chief Information Officer for HNL Medicine.
