Lumetra Healthcare Solutions

I am very pleased to announce our organization’s new name: LUMETRA HEALTHCARE SOLUTIONS. This new name, together with our new logo, more accurately represents our services and the value of our solutions. As my message last month indicated, Lumetra Healthcare Solutions is now focusing on an integrated clinical, analytical, and technological solution for the business of healthcare, with the goal of reducing complexities and costs while improving patient outcomes.

As a result, our Health Information Technology (HIT) division, Illumisys, has now been merged with Lumetra Healthcare Solutions. John Weir, formerly president of Illumisys, is now president of Lumetra Healthcare Solutions. Illumisys staff and clients are now part of our new organization. Bernard Baskin will continue as our Chief Financial Officer.

Formerly, the organization was structured around our capabilities; the management and consulting operations of Lumetra Healthcare Solutions is organized around these markets for our services:

• Healthcare Services: providers, payors, life sciences organizations
• Government Services: federal, state, and international government audit and review services
• Patient Safety Services: Patient Safety Organizations and healthcare providers across the continuum of care

Our clients understand what Lumetra Healthcare Solutions can uniquely offer with this integration of clinical excellence, HIT, and analytics:

• A focus on performance  improvement, based on 25+ years experience in improving healthcare efficiency and effectiveness
• An orientation on the bottom line to lower costs and increase revenues
• Solutions that are sustainable year after year
• A collaborative approach to identify and implement lasting changes throughout the continuum of care
