"The recognition that Sentillion has received from KLAS and their unparalleled record of commitment and achievement in the healthcare industry exemplifies why The Methodist Hospital partnered with Sentillion," said Tim Thompson, senior vice president and CIO of The Methodist Hospital.

Providing a comprehensive summary and assessment of Healthcare Information Technology (HIT) vendor performance, individual rankings in the KLAS Top 20 Best in KLAS Awards report are determined solely by the data received through active participation and feedback from thousands of healthcare organizations. As the SSO Market Category Leader, Sentillion has both maintained a consistent score over the past 3 years, in the mid-to-high 80's which is well above the KLAS vendor average of 79, and has achieved more than thirty product evaluations from customers in a 12 month period.
"Since 1998, the Top 20 Best in KLAS Awards report has been shining a light on the performance of vendors throughout the healthcare industry," said KLAS President Adam Gale. "Today the objective of the report remains the same: to help healthcare providers make informed decisions, whether they're looking to buy technology, review a current vendor, validate an operational decision or determine the right products to remain after a merger. With detailed analysis of literally hundreds of healthcare IT products and services, the 2008 Top 20 Best in KLAS Awards report is a guide designed to help providers learn from the experiences of their peers and make the right choices for their organizations."

"In a year where Sentillion has experienced record growth, it is extremely rewarding to mark this milestone with the knowledge that it was made possible primarily through the achievements of our customers," said Paul Roscoe, president of Sentillion.
