March 30, 2000 - Newton, MA - Drawbase Software, developer of DrawbaseŽ, the all-in-one software solution used to design, draw, track, and manage facility information, announced that its reseller, Com Tek CADD Company, has received a commendation from Sinai Hospital of Baltimore Maryland for assisting the Hospital with its recent successful JCAHO (The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations) survey.
Robert Turner, Vice President of Facilities at Sinai Hospital, a LifeBridge Health center in Baltimore, stated, "The JCAHO survey is a critical review of all aspects of a hospital, without it, we are closed. Com Tek sold, installed and trained us on the integrated use of Drawbase's software and Datastream's MP2. This combined system gave us the information advantage we have never had before" says "Now we can visually drill down through a map of our campus and quickly determine any level of detail related to space, equipment and life safety systems. It even includes pictures." The JCAHO surveyor added, "I have never seen a hospital with this level of detail. I am truly delighted."
