If you work with a Tenet Hospital, it looks like some possible changes and upgrades could be on the horizon.  Many of the ones I am familiar with haveimage used systems from McKesson, but that’s only a few that I am acquainted with locally.

With the joint venture it appears there may be a handful of options with bringing in the technology of MED3000, which offers an EMR, data warehousing and business intelligence software.  Some facilities also work with Perot Systems for some of their data support as well.

As with every other healthcare vendor, there’s a Stimulus page if you need help in that area.  With the constant changing of both marketing and strategic partners, it may not always be clear on the exact services being offered, but it appears that Allscripts and InteGreat are two solid partners in the group and the mission statement is here.

 In related Tenet news, Tenet Healthcare Corp. (THC) began a tender offer to purchase as much as $1 billion of senior notes that mature in 2014, part of its efforts to improve its financial flexibility.

As mentioned, MED3000 is a subsidiary of Tenet, so logic would tell me that there could be a large amount of support from Tenet in this direction which could lead to additional cost and care Health IT initiatives coming to a Tenet facility near you soon.  BD
