CompuMed, Inc. (OTCBB:CMPD) -- a medical informatics company serving the
healthcare community with diagnostic software solutions -- today
announced that it will preview its new CompuBRIDGE™
telecardiology electronic medical records (EMR) solution at the National
Conference on Correctional Health Care (NCCHC), taking place through
Wednesday in Chicago.
The CompuBRIDGE EMR is designed to capture and integrate
electrocardiogram (ECG) results and over-reads into an existing EMR
system. Integration does not require the practice to employ additional
software, hardware or specialized servers. For facilities without a
general EMR system, CompuMed offers hosted solutions that provide access
to ECG data via any Internet enabled computer. CompuMed expects to
release its CompuBRIDGE EMR system after testing with beta customers.
“CompuBRIDGE EMR is part of our strategy to
help healthcare providers implement an integrated digital information
solution,” said CompuMed CEO Maurizio
Vecchione. “We use a standards based
architecture for ease of integration and optimal interoperability. It
allows our clients to automatically integrate ECGs and over-reads with
most EMR systems.“
CompuBRIDGE EMR will provide users of CompuMed’s
telecardiology services with the ability to data mine patient records
and electronically transfer those records to their own EMR systems, such
as patient administrative systems, electronic practice management,
laboratory information systems, dietary and pharmacy.
Development of the CompuBRIDGE EMR benefited from CompuMed’s
experience as one of the leading providers of remote ECG services for
the correctional facility market. Over the past decade, the company’s
flagship CardioGram system has become the telecardiology solution of
choice for a significant number of the state correctional prison systems
across the US.
“Nowhere is the challenge of providing
quality healthcare more complex than in a correctional facility,”
added Vecchione. “Electronic medical records
have been shown to have an impact on the safety, effectiveness and cost
of healthcare by having the right information at the right place at the
right time. CompuBRIDGE, built with the experience of our correctional
industry success, can help correctional healthcare customers as well as
any other healthcare providers who use ECGs extensively transition into
integrated digital medical records.”
