March 17, 2011 marked an exciting day for two of digitalKnowledge's clients, Strategic Healthcare Group and EnerGenuity, as both were announced as finalists for TechPoint's 2011 Mira Awards.
Each year TechPoint recognizes individuals, companies and organizations that have exhibited exceptional use of technology to bring positive change to the community and / or industries they service. The award is given out to 13 individuals or companies in 13 categories, as well as two general industry honors.
After careful consideration and research, TechPoint announced Strategic Healthcare Group (SHG) as a finalist for the Mira Award in the category of Health Care Information Technology (HIT) and EnerGenuity as a finalist for the Mira Award in the Clean Technology/ Energy Innovation category.
Strategic Healthcare Group is the leading provider of blood management consulting and informatics solutions, partnering with the US blood collection industry and a growing number of healthcare systems. Through its innovative solutions and proven methodologies, SHG has helped hospitals around the United States achieve reductions in blood utilization from 13 to 30 percent, resulting in millions of dollars in cost savings and improved quality of care and patient safety.
Strategic Healthcare Group partnered with digitalKnowledge to help develop BloodStat Multidimensional Analytics, the innovative data management system that provides the clinical and business intelligence to identify, improve and maintain blood management opportunities. BloodStat Multidimensional Analytics represents one of the key components of SHG's comprehensive blood management solution, and has U.S. and international patents pending.
Equally as impressive is EnerGenuity's S.M.A.R.T. Suite application to ensure efficient and responsible energy consumption.
Through this application, companies and organizations better understand their use of energy (gas and electricity) and the factors that cause energy use to increase or decrease - a service that is vitally important to our nation, especially in light of the recent news concerning potential energy supply disruption in the Middle East.
EnerGenuity partnered with digitalKnowledge to help develop the S.M.A.R.T. Suite application that is now up for TechPoint's Mira Award. Through the use of this application, energy companies and energy consumers are saving considerable amounts of money, all while supporting cleaner, more responsible energy consumption.
"It's exciting to see Strategic Healthcare Group and EnerGenuity recognized for their leadership and innovation in their respective industries. It has been a pleasure to work with these forward-thinking companies, and all of us at digitalKnowledge are grateful to have had the opportunity to help develop these solutions that are impacting our society in such profound ways," said digitalKnowledge President and Co-Founder, Curt Sellke.
Both Strategic Healthcare Group and EnerGenuity have completed their interviews with the Mira Award judges in late March. digitalKnowledge, Strategic Healthcare Group and EnerGenuity will all be attending the Mira Award Gala on May 7, 2011 where the Mira Award winners will be announced for each category.
