ORLANDO, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–(HIMSS booth # 5275) — CareTech Solutions an information technology (IT) and Web products and services provider for U.S. hospitals and health systems announced today that Shore Medical Center in Somers Point, N.J., has selected CareTech to provide its Clinical Service Desk on nights, weekends and holidays for the 300-bed site.

CareTech’s “Nights + Weekends” Service Desk model ensures patient care is never interrupted.”
