AUXILIO, Inc. (OTCBB: AUXO), the nation’s pioneer and leading Managed Print Services (MPS) company for health care, today announced new five-year contracts worth an estimated $4 million to $5 million with three additional hospitals in the St. Joseph Health System of California (SJHS), including Santa Rosa Memorial and Petaluma Valley Hospital in Sonoma County and Queen of the Valley Hospital in Napa Valley. These contracts were awarded to the Company under the terms of a new five-year Master Service Agreement (MSA) with SJHS as a result of the successful execution of its MPS program in St. Joseph Hospital in Orange and St. Joseph Hospital in Eureka, both of which extended their MPS contracts through May 2015. The long-term MSA agreement provides other SJHS ministries a ‘preferred pricing model’ for the unique AUXILIO MPS program. The Company guarantees over $1 million in savings for the Sonoma and Napa counties’ hospitals and will focus on volume reduction and operational efficiency strategies and solutions.
“We are honored to be selected by Santa Rosa Memorial, Petaluma Valley and Queen of the Valley hospitals to implement our MPS program and for the confidence SJHS has in our Company to extend our services throughout its hospital campuses,” said Joseph J. Flynn, chief executive officer, AUXILIO. “We have had a long and successful business relationship with SJHS and will continue to provide the highest level of service and dedication in the new hospital ministries.”
“We know that AUXILIO has a proven Managed Print Services program that captures savings and improves efficiencies in our hospitals’ print environments,” said Jim McManus, vice president of finance, SJHS. “With the addition of our Northern California Ministries and the extension of our Master Service Agreement with AUXILIO, all of our ministries now have the opportunity to take advantage of preferred pricing and benefits to cut costs and improve processes through the AUXILIO methodology and technology strategies and solutions program. The Company’s on-site teams of resident managers and customer service representatives provide excellent service which enables our staff to spend more time delivering quality patient care.”
