NPI Wins Healthcare IT Summit 2010 Innovation Award
Category of “Best Demonstration of Value/ROI” for Healthcare Providers Reflects NPI’s Spend Management Mission
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) December 8, 2010
NPI, a spend management services firm focused on delivering savings in IT, telecom, transportation and utilities, today announced it has been named a winner of the Healthcare IT Summit 2010 Innovation Award in the category of “Best Demonstration of Value/ROI – Provider.” The awards are a proven springboard to increased brand awareness and product credibility in the healthcare market.
NPI was honored with this award for its innovative approach to making healthcare IT budgets go farther. During the Summit, NPI met with attending CIOs and shared best practices for reducing the cost of IT purchases – hardware, software, infrastructure and services – resulting in savings that can fund other IT projects or go straight to the bottom line.
“We are grateful for this recognition and believe it’s a reflection of the most important IT challenges facing today’s healthcare CIOs. This group is under tremendous budget pressure while at the same time striving to meet regulatory IT requirements and leverage new technology to improve patient care. NPI’s proven spend management services help healthcare organizations across the country meet these challenges,” said Jon Winsett, CEO of NPI.
The awards were presented at the Summit held November 14-16 at the Gaylord National Resort Hotel & Convention Center in Washington, DC. The Healthcare IT Summit 2010 brought senior IT executives from healthcare payer and provider organizations together with industry analysts and leading and emerging healthcare vendors. The event embraced market issues, trends and solutions including new healthcare government regulations and the integration of new technologies. The business intensive format includes analyst-led sessions, vendor-led keynotes, private boardroom appointments, payer and provider breakout sessions, a Solution Showcase of exhibitors, as well as networking functions.
The Healthcare Innovation Awards are the only awards in the channel voted on solely by the attending IT decision makers who directly influence their companies’ and their peers’ technology buying decisions. After three days of boardroom presentations and one-on-one meetings, the decision-makers vote on the products and services presented at the event.
The Healthcare Innovation Awards covered nine key categories – spanning technology, market potential, and ROI – leading up to Best of Show. “The Innovation Award winners are selected by senior IT executives at each event, and honor the vendors with the most exceptional solutions,” said Robert DeMarzo, Sr. Vice President of Strategic Content at Everything Channel. “Congratulations to all of the winning companies. They have demonstrated that they deliver high-quality solutions and have many satisfied customers and prospects.”
