Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) March 30, 2008

Stoltenberg Consulting, Inc., one of the healthcare industry's leading information technology consulting firms, today announced the formation of its Soarian Users Group.

The initial focus of the users group, located at www. soarianusers. com, will be a user post and answer discussion board providing access to experts within the Soarian community. The users group will serve as a mechanism to disseminate upcoming events, start and continue discussions, share documentation and act as a repository for past presentations and discussions. Acting as the Soarian community's tool to use, develop and grow, the users group includes discussion forums, document libraries and photo albums with more functionality planned as needs of the group expand.

"I asked Stoltenberg to assist with the setup of the users group because several hospitals on the list serve expressed a desire to have a means of direct communication via a conference call," explained Clay Bozard, Director of Technology Integration for Catholic Health Systems in Buffalo, NY. "Stoltenberg was the logical choice to develop the group with us because of our existing partnership, the quality of their work and their ability to think outside of the box to overcome gaps between current functionality and desired results."

Bozard approached Stoltenberg after several hospitals identified the need for a forum to discuss lessons learned and share ideas to streamline implementing, maintaining and enhancing various components of Siemens' Soarian information technology solutions. After this sentiment was resoundingly supported at the Soarian Users Group inaugural dinner at Disney's California Grill during HIMSS '08, Stoltenberg decided to act.

"This commitment exemplifies our role of fostering relationships to promote knowledge transfer and understanding to simplify health care technology," remarked Sheri Stoltenberg, Chief Executive Officer of Stoltenberg Consulting. "We are excited to be able to leverage our position in the healthcare industry to assist these hospitals in meeting the needs of their end users by bridging the gap between current and desired capabilities."
