VMCS News VisualMED Releases New Clinical Module for Anesthesia Practice
MONTREAL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--VisualMED Clinical Solutions Corp. (OTCBB:VMCS) announces the release of
a new clinical module to support inpatient and ambulatory anesthesia
practice. The module has been in development for five months, and has
been developed in conjunction with staff anesthesiologists at one of our
client hospitals. Though the VisualMED Clinical System has been used to
document pre-operative, post-operative and intra-operative care since
its inception, the system is now at the fingertips of the
anesthesiologist. Real-time, by-the-bedside data entry is supported, as
is automated entry of vital signs and gas exchange parameters. Data
entry as well as medical record notes are entered exclusively through
touch and are automatically integrated into the electronic patient
record.
Dr. Werner Pfisterer, a staff anesthesiologist at New York’s
Mt. Sinai Hospital, commented, “Anesthesia has
become so complex that it is increasingly difficult to fully document
every aspect of entire procedures. This clinical module will allow
practitioners to document more completely the quality of care provided
to patients undergoing surgery.”
This is in keeping with the Chairman’s
statement of December, 2006, in which Mr. Gerard Dab announced that new
modules released in the first quarter of 2007 would be a critical step
in our strategy to diversify our product lines. With respect to the new
Anesthesia module, Mr. Dab commented, “Anesthesia
systems have in the past primarily been sold as stand-alone systems. The
fact that our module can be fully integrated with any clinical system
gives potential customers a low-risk way to learn about our enterprise–wide
solution.”
“We are still on track to triple our install
base from 5 to 15 sites by the end of this calendar year, and we expect
to generate revenue around the $1,800,000 mark for the current fiscal
year,” concludes Mr. Dab.
About the company and its products
The VisualMED Clinical Information System (CIS) is a unique software
application built to conform to the way doctors and nurses provide and
document patient care. The VisualMED CIS is the only solution of its
kind to have been wholly designed by practicing medical staff in terms
of both workflow and user interface. State-of-the art design is at the
basis of product scalability - the only CIS that can be implemented
across a single care unit, hospital, or region. Unique design features
allow system decision support to conform to local practice, yet
incorporate "best practice" guidelines across a region as a turnkey
solution, depending on needs of individual clients. From a purely
technical perspective, object-oriented design and table-driven
programming allows for cost-effective development that can rapidly
respond to advances in medicine and surgery and informatics, itself.
VisualMED Clinical Solutions Corp. markets and distributes clinical
management solutions that help hospitals and healthcare authorities
reduce medication errors, increase personnel efficiency and bring down
operating costs. One of its key components, Computerized Physician Order
Entry (CPOE) with decision support, is a core solution in the new agenda
to promote greater patient safety and reduce risks due to medication
errors.
