MedSpeed and Elmhurst Memorial Healthcare Mark Nine-Year Partnership with Broadened Agreement

Elmhurst, IL, November 21, 2009 --(PR.com)-- MedSpeed LLC, a leading provider of integrated transportation services to the healthcare industry, and Elmhurst Memorial Healthcare, a comprehensive health system in Chicago’s western suburbs, have worked together in partnership for the last nine years. Today, the industry innovators celebrate that collaboration with the announcement of an expanded relationship. Beginning in mid-October, MedSpeed assumed responsibility for the management and execution of Elmhurst’s entire transportation related needs, including: specimens, pharmaceuticals, supplies, mail, radiology, medical records and more.

“For the past 9 years, MedSpeed has done an outstanding job handling our laboratory specimen transportation,” said Curtis May, Director of Material Management. “We felt that expanding that relationship to include the movement of the rest of our materials would not only eliminate waste thereby generating cost savings, but also accrue added benefit in the form of service enhancement to our system,” continued May.

To support the broader relationship MedSpeed applied its proven analytical methodology to the expansion of service for Elmhurst Memorial Healthcare. By standardizing service expectations through the application of business rules and leveraging existing routes, MedSpeed was able to develop a flexible, cost-contained solution to support the health system.

“Elmhurst Memorial has been a friend to MedSpeed for many years and we are thrilled to bring new value to this important and long-standing client,” said Jake Crampton, Chief Executive Officer of MedSpeed.
