Spacelabs Healthcare, Inc., a global patient monitoring and connectivity company has selected Orion Health's Symphonia messaging and mapping toolkit to rapidly map data between HL7 systems and connect clinicians to patient information as fast as possible.

Santa Monica, CA (PRWEB) January 16, 2007 -- Orion Health, a leading provider of clinical workflow and integration technology for the healthcare sector, announces that Spacelabs Healthcare, Inc., a global patient monitoring and connectivity company has selected the Symphonia messaging and mapping toolkit to rapidly map data between HL7 systems and connect clinicians to patient information as fast as possible.

"Using Symphonia, we plan to reduce HL7 Interface implementation time and provide quicker customer validations for our ADT and Vital Signs Interface," said Rich Hillman, Director of Marketing for Information Management & Connectivity, at Spacelabs Healthcare, Inc.

"Our selection of Orion Health's technology is an example of how Spacelabs is partnering with technology leaders to provide standout customer service and to connect innovation with care."

After an extensive review process, Spacelabs selected Orion Health for its innovative, proven technology and ability to provide long-term technology and service partnerships.
