MedcomSoft to Release the World's First Truly Interoperable EMR



TORONTO, Jan. 9 / -- MedcomSoft Inc. (TSX - MSF) is pleased to announce the introduction of MedcomSoft Record 2006, the world's first truly interoperable Electronic Medical Record system. MedcomSoft Record 2006 is MedcomSoft's third generation of systems that integrate point of care and reference vocabularies. MedcomSoft Record 2006 is fully integrated with MEDCIN, the industry leading point of care clinical vocabulary, and produces structured data that is automatically codified and cross mapped to other industry standard reference terminologies including SNOMED, LOINC, NDC, ICD9 and CPT. For the first time, drug prescriptions and laboratory test results will be automatically codified with MEDCIN numeric codes in the same manner as clinical notes, thereby providing the first homogeneous longitudinal patient health record.

MedcomSoft believes that this breakthrough will establish the basis whereby the industry can achieve proper drug adverse reaction checking based on all the information in a patient chart, and perform effective disease management and health maintenance monitoring. The integration of all clinical, laboratory and drug data under a homogenous and cross mapped codification system will also facilitate the population and management of community clinical data repositories and will ultimately empower medical research and accelerate clinical trials and targeting.

MedcomSoft Record 2006 will offer the highest granularity of systemic interoperability, and it will support all current industry data exchange standards such as HL7, X12, NCPDP and the Continuity of Care Record (CCR). In addition, MedcomSoft Record 2006 will adhere to the final certification criteria as published by the Certification Commission for Health Information Technology (CCHIT), and provides enhanced security and privacy down to the single clinical data element in a patient chart.

MedcomSoft Record 2006 is a single application that automates all clinical, administrative and financial functions in the ambulatory care market. Designed as a highly secure multi-user enterprise application, MedcomSoft Record 2006 includes, in addition to its advanced EMR system, a state-of-the art Practice Management System, a Computerized Provider Order Entry system (CPOE), a document and images management system, a referral and authorization tracking solution, dynamic clinical decision support and disease management systems, automated health maintenance, compliance and surveillance systems and a large array of workflow tools such as facility patient tracking, inter-office task management and communication.
