Linda Reino, VP and CIO, Universal Health Services
and Tim Rhoads, CEO, Opus Healthcare Solutions
AUSTIN, TEXAS, November 10, 2004 – Tim Rhoads, CEO
of Opus Healthcare Solutions, announced today that the company
and one of their clients, Universal Health Services, Inc.
(UHS), headquartered in King of Prussia, PA, have won the
CHIME (College of Healthcare Information Management Executives)
Collaboration Award at the annual Fall CIO Forum held this
year in La Jolla, CA on October 27. The CHIME Collaboration
Award is designed to recognize the best collaborative effort
as evidenced in a document co-authored by a CHIME foundation
firm and a CHIME member. The award is sponsored by the CHIME
Board of Trustees.
This year, over 400 CHIME members attended
the annual session where presenters shared their collaborative
efforts and ideas for possible application in healthcare
environments. The umbrella theme of this year’s award was “Healthcare
Business Success.”
The UHS and Opus Healthcare paper
was titled: “One
Vision. One Partnership: Delivering Excellence.” The
presentation outlined how Opus and UHS, working together,
have transformed the health system’s clinical processes
from a disparate group of clinical software products and
homegrown paper-based systems into a set of streamlined,
standardized Web-based tools. The CHIME Awards Committee
reviewed all entries and selected the winning paper based
upon a 100-point scale.
UHS is one of the nation's largest and most respected health
care management companies, operating behavioral health facilities,
acute care hospitals, and ambulatory surgery and radiation
centers nationwide. Founded in 1978 by Alan B. Miller, President
and Chairman, UHS has over 30,000 employees. Opus Healthcare
Solutions, headquartered in Austin, TX, designs integrated,

unique partnership and want to share our wonderful success
story with others.” Ms. Reino added.
