Deborah Heart and Lung Center signs agreement to use Thomson Healthcare CRM tool

EVANSTON, IL — April 25, 2007 —Deborah Heart and Lung Center, the only cardiac and pulmonary specialty hospital in New Jersey, has entered into an agreement to use crmView™, a customer relationship management tool from Thomson Healthcare.

Thomson Healthcare’s crmView offers vital insight into customer needs and behavior — the insight marketers need to develop highly effective marketing campaigns. With crmView, marketers gain reliable information to build awareness, influence referral and utilization patterns, track response, and report ROI based on downstream utilization.

According to Tom Campbell, vice president of marketing, Deborah Heart and Lung Center, “We chose crmView because it offers us the flexibility to address multiple marketing needs throughout our organization, from recruiting to fundraising to patient education. It is the perfect tool for us to get our message out to many different target markets, including patients, potential patients, donors, and prospective employees.”

Deborah Heart and Lung Center has a unique mission providing care regardless of the ability to pay through its significant fundraising efforts and a strong commitment to research.

“Deborah’s unique mission extends beyond its local market,” says Robert Porr, northeast regional director, Thomson Healthcare. “It is no surprise to me that a leader in cardiovascular and pulmonary care would choose to use a cutting edge marketing tool such as crmView.”
