VisualMED Clinical Solutions Corp. (The "Company") (PINKSHEETS:
VMCS) (FRANKFURT: VA6.F) announces that it will proceed with the
implementation of its signature smart electronic health record with
full CPOE, decision support and medical alerts at a private general
practice facility in southern Florida. The system will have full
capability based on its more than eight thousand use cases and some
thirty thousand decisional algorithms.
The medical facility project is worth a total of $826,000 over 2
years for VisualMED. The company will be delivering its product
through a newer interactive platform, still running updated Oracle
(ORCL) technology and some of the latest Microsoft (MSFT)
applications. Clinicians and their support teams will have the
flexibility to access the system by using laptops or new devices
such as Research in Motion (RIM) Playbook supporting Intel (INTL)
powered dual core processors or other similarly efficient devices.
The Company will rely on new connectivity solutions from Visual
Healthcare Corp. (VSHC)
The combination of additional computing power, speed of access
together with enhanced connectivity, should provide a more flexible
environment to encourage care givers to make full use of the
VisualMED intelligent applications. Saving time, reducing cost and
increased quality of care remain the singular focus of VisualMED
product offerings.
"It is going to be much easier for us to deliver patient centric
accessible functions at point of care at lower cost to us than ever
before," says Chairman Gerard Dab. "We are now enabled to lower the
cost to customers by significantly lowering our implementation
costs."
The Company still has a backlog of signed agreements on which to
deliver. Expectations of increasing access to financing should help
accelerate implementation schedules at these medical
facilities.
The move toward electronic health records remains slow in spite
of the availability of government subsidies and the pressure from
public policy in the United States. Even though medical practices
are under increasing regulations to adopt technologies that can
reduce medical errors and increase quality of care, most practices
appear to find it a challenge. They have until 2015 after which
they will face punitive measures from Federal Agencies. In the
meanwhile, VisualMED remains confident that the number of early
adopters will continue to grow and allow our business to increase
significantly over the coming years.
