Schaumburg, IL and Northport, NY (May 14, 2013) – CellTrak, the leading global provider of integrated mobile clinical solutions is pleased to announce that it has been chosen by New York based Visiting Nurse Service & Hospice of Suffolk (VNSHS) to provide the agency with its mobile technology software and that it has successfully completed the full roll-out.
Visiting Nurse Service & Hospice of Suffolk is a free standing not-for-profit home health care and hospice agency located in Northport, NY. The agency is no stranger to technology, as they have been utilizing Progresa as their electronic health record (EHR) software for nearly 10 years, and according to Jo Ann Quigley, Chief Operating Officer for VNSHS, was a deciding factor in selecting CellTrak.
“One of our goals was to find a mobile solution that would interface with Progresa, and CellTrak fit that need. We found the transition seamless and our field staff is thrilled with the ease of use.” She added that “Having a mobile solution gives our staff a paperless, time saving tool that ultimately leads to increased efficiency and more time with our patients.”

Receiving this designation for the seventh year in a row represents true leadership in the homecare industry.” Wons added that “We are very excited to help VNSHS enable their vision of comprehensive care with our mobile solution platform.
