HIM 500 Technology Information

Featherfall Medical Center has an existing admission discharge transfer (ADT)/master patient index

(MPI) system that was developed in-house and implemented over 20 years ago. By now, all of the

original programmers have resigned or retired. The system is cumbersome to manage and update to

meet the current needs of the center. This has also led to the compliance, ethical, and governance

issues previously stated.

An RFP was sent out to two vendors: Intel (SOA Expressway for Healthcare) and Alert (Admission

Discharge and Transfer [ADT]). Key portions of the RFP have been summarized to allow for easy

comparison. The responses to the functional requirements have also been provided for review.

Demonstrations were conducted at the Center, and both systems looked good. The MPI module is

preferred on Intel, and the ADT system is preferred on Alert; however, both systems were received

favorably. The committee went to see both systems in operation and liked them both. References were

checked on both systems. The references for Alert were glowing. All of them said that the system was

good and the people were great to work with because they wanted their new company to succeed and

grow. However, given their small size, they might lack the resources of a larger company. The references

on Intel were excellent as well. The only negative about Intel was that the company is quite large and

was sometimes slow to respond to what the company saw as minor problems. The next release of Alert

is due out in 6 months and of Intel is due out in 8 months. The Committee has used the following tables

to summarize and compare the information that was gathered and is awaiting your recommendation

before final decision is reached.
