February 24, 2009 Hyland Software, Inc. has selected
North Coast Health Ministry (NCHM)
as a partner agency for its employee
volunteer program. The purpose of
Hyland's newly formalized employee
volunteer program is to give back to the
communities where company employees
live and work by offering paid time
off for volunteer work.
North Coast Health Ministry was
chosen for the partnership as a local
non-profit organization that uses Hyland
Software's OnBase enterprise content
management (ECM) software and as
an expression of Hyland's support for
NCHM's mission of providing health
care to the low-income uninsured.
"Hyland Software values the
vital health care services North Coast
Health Ministry provides to uninsured
people in our community. We're
grateful for the opportunity to share
our software, as well as our employees'
skills and expertise in an effort
to support NCHM's important work,"
said A.J. Hyland, President and CEO,
Hyland Software, Inc.
The first Hyland employee volunteer
project conducted for North Coast
Health Ministry will be a systems analysis
to identify how to optimize the
agency's use of information technology
with the goals of greater operational
effectiveness and efficiency. The Hyland
employee volunteer team will be headed
by Installation Manager Kevin Hughes.
"We are grateful to have been
chosen as a partner by Hyland," said
NCHM Executive Director Lee Elmore. "The work Hyland is doing for NCHM
will increase our efficiency, help us
minimize administrative time, and
optimize how we use volunteer caregivers.
The need for care by the low-income
uninsured in our community is great
and growing. Through the more effective
use of our information technology
tools, we hope to streamline our operations
to be able to serve more patients
and meet the growing local demand for
care by those in need." Since 1986, North Coast Health
Ministry has been providing health
care to low-income individuals and
families without medical insurance in
western Cuyahoga and eastern Lorain
counties. A faith-based free clinic
located in Lakewood, Ohio, NCHM is
a bridge to better health for more than
2,200 patients who have no other route
to care. With the support of approximately
150 volunteer physicians, nurses
and other caregivers, NCHM is able
to provide primary health care, specialty
referrals, prescription assistance,
and health education to the medically
underserved.
