Hospital Promoting Interoperability Award – Norton Healthcare
Norton Healthcare is a leader in serving adult and pediatric patients throughout Greater Louisville and the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Southern Indiana, and beyond. The not-for-profit hospital and health care system has five Louisville-based hospitals, three hospitals in Southern Indiana and one under construction in West Louisville, scheduled to open next month.
Our primary contact at Norton for the Medicare PI Program is Kathleen Lyons. She is the Manager of Hospital Promoting Interoperability at Norton Healthcare in Louisville, and has been with Norton for almost 20 years. She received her Associate’s in Nursing and Bachelor of Science in Education from Eastern Kentucky University. Kathleen has over 30 years of experience in healthcare, ranging from bedside nursing, practice administration and research to healthcare informatics.
We began our partnership on the Medicare PI Program in 2014. We have monthly calls, provide education, and really drill-down on program details. Kathleen is usually the first client hospital to contact us when new legislation drops. She has an incredible work ethic and Norton Healthcare is lucky to have her. We help monitor their PI reports to track trends in their data. Kathleen shares weekly reports with us. Year after year, Norton exceeds requirements and successfully attests to the Medicare PI Program.
Over the past 10 years, we have not only developed a great working relationship, but a friendship as well. We are so proud of Norton’s consistent PI performance.
Congratulations to Norton Healthcare on your award, it is very well deserved. We hope to work together for another 10 years!
