The Lawson hosted service will help alleviate much of the administrative strain placed on Uniontown’s IT employees, which helps minimize the hospital’s risk of managing multiple business systems.

The hospital believes that the move supports its IT strategy to maintain the latest technology systems while helping it more quickly realize the benefits associated with moving to Lawson system foundation 9 and Lawson 9 applications.

Lawson Total Care Platinum is an extension of the Lawson Total Care Service, a tiered maintenance and support service that provides a complete enterprise software package from software through support and delivery, including full hosting and application management services.

Steve Handy, senior vice president of Uniontown Hospital, said: Total care platinum helps us maximize the functionality of our business systems by incorporating best practices and enhancing our reporting; enabling us to improve operational efficiencies and focus more staff time and resources on patient care.
