Clifton T. Perkins Hospital Center

Why Vorro, why Clifton T. Perkins Hospital Center, why now

Clifton T. Perkins Hospital Center is running Likely Netsmart Avatar, Outsourced mobile/portable X-ray service via state procurement, Maryland's state-hospital group uses SchuyLab, Facility group uses external vendors Allied and Pharma Care side by side. Every one of those speaks a different dialect of HL7/FHIR/X12 — which means someone on staff is today doing by hand (or not doing at all) what Vorro does automatically: keeping one patient's record consistent everywhere it needs to show up. On top of that, Clifton T. Perkins Hospital Center already runs Must integrate with CRISP to try to bridge some of these systems — a sign the integration burden is already visible to their own team, not just to us. Perkins is one of 12 Maryland state hospitals named in an active (unresolved-award) statewide EHR + revenue-cycle-management modernization RFP (OPASS/OCMP 21-18251, still generating Q&A addenda through 2022) intended to replace the legacy HMIS billing system plus three other home-grown modules (Optimus for LTC/MDS, e-Chart for infection control, DPOE for medical records). Maryland's own procurement language calls the current environment fragmented, home-grown, and decades-old.

Sound familiar? That's the exact situation on the ground here.
