Grand Rapids Venture Center to expand
The West Michigan Science & Technology Initiative, in partnership with the Grand Rapids SmartZone (both Grand Rapids), reported the expansion of its Venture Center with the availability of additional incubator space at 1345 Monroe Avenue, NW in Grand Rapids.
The building features laboratory space available from 300 to 1,500 square feet, equipped with amenities for life science and high-technology companies. The organization will work with new tenants to customize the space to fit their needs, with specific focus on serving the medical device sector through advanced design and prototyping capabilities.
"This new location represents the only incubator space with available tools for medical device development in Michigan," said Executive Director Linda Chamberlain. "Half of the new capacity and capability has been designated for medical device. We believe this will help to accelerate early stage commercialization efforts for start-up medical device companies in West Michigan."
AHA recommends OnBase software
Hyland Software (Cleveland) said that the American Hospital Association has recommended the OnBase as the document management software for the entire hospital. The device to bring together content from the clinical and revenue cycles.
"Hospitals are always working hard to improve the quality of patient care," said Anthony Burke, president/CEO for AHA Solutions. "But for that to happen, they must continue to find ways to operate more efficiently. We are recommending OnBase because it is provento make this possible. It makes all documents across the entire healthcare organization centrally available. So, regardless of the department or its location – administrative, revenue or clinical – providers can get exactly what they need when they need it."
Since 2005, OnBase has been endorsed by the AHA for its document management capabilities in the revenue cycle and administrative operations. This renewed endorsement extends the original to include all areas of a hospital such as EMR integrations and human resources.
Imagine Technology transitions to pink sheets
Image Technology Laboratories (ITL; Kingston, New York), a provider of radiological workflow and imaging solutions, will transition to the electronic pink sheets under the symbol (IMTL.PK).
ITL's WarpSpeed RIS/PACS is a HIPAA-compliant business solution for the practice of radiology or medical imaging in a clinical practice. Through its architecture, the ITL WarpSpeed RIS/PACS offers, in a single system, a product that can encompass all facets of the business of radiology/medical imaging. It scales from small imaging centers and clinical practices to large hospital enterprises, including interfacing with Hospital Information Systems (HIS) via HL7. Many of the subsystems within the ITL WarpSpeed RIS/PACS may be deconfigured to reduce costs in installations where the function is not required or is provided by an existing product. At the heart of the system is the workflow manager that assigns and routes units of work across the enterprise, able to link hospitals and multiple freestanding centers that have a business relationship to form one large cooperative radiology practice.
