85-year old Healthcare Institution Leverages Smart Fiber-to-the-Business for Efficient, Reliable Patient Care JERICHO, N.Y., Sept. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Optimum Lightpath(SM), a market leader in Ethernet-based communication solutions for New York metropolitan area businesses, today announced that New Jersey-based Holy Name Hospital has enhanced patient and hospital efficiencies while realizing significant cost savings through its selection of Optimum Lightpath as its telecommunications provider. By providing Holy Name Hospital's voice communications and Internet services that facilitate access to its online clinical information database, real-time registration for pandemic detection surveillance and patient insurance validation, Optimum Lightpath helps Holy Name Hospital deliver improved patient care at the hospital bedside, the doctor's office and remotely from the home, while saving approximately $50,000 per year. "In a competitive environment like this, where patients demand the fastest, most advanced services, physicians need access to reports and images in seconds, not minutes, speed is life and diversity is key. That's why we switched to Optimum Lightpath," said Mike Skvarenina, AVP of Information Systems at Holy Name Hospital. "By increasing our bandwidth from a 3MB connection to a 100MB connection, we added much more capacity, speed and reliability for significantly less than it would cost for similar services with another carrier." For Hospitals, Speed is Life With Optimum Lightpath, Holy Name Hospital powers reliable phone service and instant access to its online clinical information system, enabling physicians and other caregivers to gain access to test results, CT/nuclear and PET scan images and patient histories in just seconds - remotely from the home, in the office, at the patient bedside or in the emergency room. "Optimum Lightpath's service is a miracle. I love it," said Dr. Jacqueline Brunetti, Medical Director of Radiology at Holy Name Hospital. "Speed is so critical for us - speed is life, for radiologists and for patients. Making diagnoses more quickly, whether from home or in the hospital, can impact patients' lives, particularly if it's emergency care. The speed of Optimum Lightpath's service has made a significant improvement in our ability to deliver better patient care." Improving Patient Care and Hospital Operations While Still Saving $50,000 Hospitals across New Jersey experienced diminished reimbursements, so like other healthcare providers, Holy Name Hospital needs to look for cost savings. "In this healthcare environment, it's important to be as efficient as possible while finding ways to cut costs," said Bob Baragona, AVP for Finance at Holy Name Hospital. "With Optimum Lightpath, we managed to increase our bandwidth, simplify billing, assure compliance and inherit a very personable team that understands our business - all this and we still saved approximately $50,000 last year." "Holy Name Hospital uses advanced communications technology to successfully transform the way it does business with its community," said Dave Pistacchio, President of Optimum Lightpath. "The IT department identified cost savings for the finance team, helped make physicians' lives easier, accommodated a flexible workplace for remote workers, and ultimately, delivered faster, better care to the patient community. We're proud to say that more than 70 percent of NY metropolitan area hospitals have joined Optimum Lightpath's smart community, embracing our faster and highly reliable voice, data, Internet and video technologies to vastly improve hospital operations and patient care."
