Jacobi Medical Center, Bronx, NY, -- July 2006 -- Negley, Ott & Associates, Inc.'s consultants, Jeanie Eckmann, MT, ASCP and Cynthia Herold, MT, ASCP recently completed design, configuration and deployment of automated Anatomic Pathology and Cytology using the Misys-CPR™/ CPOE™ system at Jacobi Medical Center and North Central Bronx Hospital.  By using the Misys-CPR™/ CPOE™ system, Jacobi Medical Center sought to improve the workflow and turn-around times for the Anatomic Pathology department through automation and operational efficiencies of an electronic medical record.  The lead NOA consultant on this project was Jeanie Eckmann, who worked closely with members of the Jacobi clinical analyst team in support of this initiative.  The project was a huge success and further demonstrated Jacobi’s leadership position at leveraging information technology for enhancing the delivery of care.

Jacobi Medical Center is part of the NORTH BRONX HEALTHCARE NETWORK, and is one of the multiple facilities of the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (NYCHHC).

This go-live event is another significant accomplishment for the NORTH BRONX HEALTHCARE NETWORK and represents continued achievement towards improvement in community health.

Congratulations to Jacobi Medical Center and NOA's clinical consulting team for a successful deployment.  This deployment is another example of how NYCHHC continues to demonstrate quality and excellence in meeting community healthcare needs by using the Misys CPR™ / Misys CPOE™ (Patient1^®) system as an integrated electronic health record.
