At Mount Sinai Hospital, in Toronto, physicians can use an iPhone application, developed in-house, to securely and remotely access patient records, test results, vital statistics, and medical literature from its vast internal data network. The Chief of Medicine, Dr. Thomas Stewart, extols the program's benefits: "Our goal is to provide the cutting-edge best medicine, best teaching, and best research. We need something that's going to allow us to change rapidly. Five years from now, the medical world is going to be very different. With iPhone, we have a platform that allows us to adapt." With the iPad coming soon, new applications to healthcare are sure to follow. Read more on the apple.com website.

Nurture at MedAssets Healthcare Business Summit
Las Vegas, NV - Nurture had a booth at the 2010 MedAssets Healthcare Business Summit at Mandalay Bay Resort, on April 7th and 8th. This show serves as a venue for leading hospitals, health systems and suppliers to focus on financial improvements and high-quality care. Attendees represent healthcare facility-based architects, planners and engineers, facility managers, interior designers, project managers and leaders, CEO's, CFO's, contractors, builders and healthcare consultants. Products featured at this year's MedAssets show included: Opus casegoods, a Mineral Recliner, Sorrel seating, a Verge stool and the Sync modular solutions.
There were more than 3,300 people in attendance, most of which were healthcare providers from across the country.
The Healthcare Business Summit is a great networking event, giving suppliers like Nurture a platform to establish and solidify relationships with MedAssets customers who rely on our products and services to serve their patients' needs. There were two full days of Educational forums as well as Exhibitor booths to gather information. The Nurture booth was well attended and received many compliments on its "total environment feel". The focus for MedAssets since their founding 11 years ago has been to concentrate on lowering costs and improving the quality of care. During the meeting people shared best practices through their committee meetings, and accredited education sessions that provided real examples that can be applied nationwide to help all healthcare providers in the midst of a challenging reimbursement environment. There were hospitals ranging from large and urban to small, rural, community hospitals with success stories that MedAssets honored.
