GoldenGate Customer Wins TDWI 2006 Best Practices Award
Winners Recognized for Innovation in Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing
San Francisco, Calif. - June 14, 2006 - GoldenGate Software Inc., the leading provider of transactional data management solutions, today announced that The Data Warehousing Institute™ (TDWI) has named a GoldenGate customer, Montefiore Medical Center, New York City, NY, a winner of the 2006 Best Practices in Data Warehousing Awards. Montefiore won the award in the “Right Time” Data Warehousing category for the organization’s innovative use of GoldenGate’s data integration solution to support real-time data warehousing.
Montefiore was recognized for its pioneering approach to unlocking the value of historical, patient and medical data to improve decision support. GoldenGate’s data integration solution is used to push critical patient data from their clinical information system (CIS) application, GE Healthcare’s Centricity® Enterprise, and feed the data in real time to a Sybase data warehouse and other servers for reporting purposes. From there, report-writing servers running the Clinical Looking Glass™ (CLG), a custom-built decision support application, analyze patient data to help doctors and healthcare administrators make better, more informed decisions around the delivery of care to hospital patients. Montefiore also uses GoldenGate’s solutions for uninterrupted application and service availability of its CIS and physician order entry systems, which is especially critical in a paperless environment.
“The stakes are high when you’re dealing with patient data,” said Eran Y. Bellin, MD, director of outcomes analysis and decision support for Emerging Health Information Technology (EHIT), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Montefiore. EHIT developed and continues to maintain the CLG decision support software system at Montefiore Medical Center, under the direction of Dr. Bellin. “We believe real-time data warehousing for our Clinical Looking Glass system improves administration and decision-making, and ultimately helps provide a higher quality of patient care.”
“We are delighted that Montefiore has been honored with this prestigious award that acknowledges a growing demand for real-time data warehousing in healthcare and other industries,” said Sami Akbay, vice president of marketing for GoldenGate. “The Montefiore implementation is a great example where GoldenGate’s real-time data integration solutions can improve decision support and reporting, and in this case, improve the quality of patient care.”
