Advocate Health Care System Inks 3rd Contract with PerfectServeMay 13, 2011 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Advocate Trinity Hospital, part of the Advocate Health Care system, recently signed an agreement to utilize PerfectServe's clinical communications system. According to a release, this is PerfectServe's third contract with the 11-hospital Advocate Health Care System. PerfectServe enables hospitals and physician practices to eliminate communication breakdowns and improve the coordination of care. The first two Advocate hospitals to use this system are Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington, Ill., and Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, Ill. "Our goal is to improve two-way communications among physicians," said Jon Bruss, president of Trinity. "With PerfectServe, we will have a more effective way to keep track of how physicians wish to be contacted, so in turn we can successfully contact them." "With our current process, it's very hard for physicians to return calls to patients and other colleagues," noted Dr. Diana Grant, vice president of medical management at Trinity. "We need better doctor-to-doctor communications, and PerfectServe will improve that for us."
