2009 Healthcare IT Summit Award Winners

Everything Channel's Healthcare IT Summit, which took place this week in La Quinta, Calif., honored vendors in nine categories for their health-care offerings, in both insurance payer and health-care provider categories. Winners were voted on by the hundreds of health-care CIOs and other attendees on-site at La Quinta Resort & Spa. Here's a look at who went home with the crystal.

Healthedge, based in Burlington, Mass., offers enterprise software platforms through Healthsuite. The company beat out Healthation and HealthX to grab the evening's first award. Healthedge COO Ray Desrochers (right) accepts the award from ChannelWeb Assistant Managing Editor Chad Berndtson.

Team Qlikview took honors in the night's second category, which saw Radnor, Pa.-based Qlikview beat out both Microsoft and InfoSys Technologies on the strength of its business-intelligence tools for health care. Qlikview executives accepted the award from ChannelWeb Associate Editor Stefanie Hoffman.

Voters chose in favor of ikaSystems over Microsoft and ZeOmega in the third category of the evening. Based in Southborough, Mass., ikaSystems sells Web-based tools for enterprise business processes like marketing and claims administration.

The team from InterSystems accepted the award in this category from ChannelWeb Associate Editor Stefanie Hoffman, thanks to the strength of the Cambridge, Mass.-based company's enterprise software offerings for database and integration. InterSystems was nominated alongside Informatics Corp. of America (ICA), Microsoft and Telus Health Solutions.

The first Market Potential category winner was Click4Care, the Powell, Ohio-based management software and systems integration vendor, which beat out Healhation, Healthedge and ikaSystems.
