ATLANTA, June 24, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- pMDsoft announced today that it had signed a contract with Huntington Hospital, part of the North Shore -- Long Island Jewish Health System, in Long Island, New York, to implement the pMDsoft hand-held data capture system. The pMDsoft product will provide the doctors with the ability to schedule cardiac patients for out patient procedures, record visit transactions and send billable transactions directly to the hospital's billing services. The pMDsoft functionality will eliminate unwanted paper trails and improve billing accuracy.
The first implementation of pMDsoft in the Huntington Hospital system was with members of the Cardiology Department and according to Electrophysiologist, Dr. Paul Maccaro, "We selected the pMDsoft system based on its ease of use and efficiency of collecting billable patient data." In addition, Huntington Hospital will roll-out the system to its Critical Care doctors who will record charges at the point of care. The system will permit physicians to automatically relay clinical, census and billing data to other members of the team as well as to their billing service, while making patient rounds.
"We are very excited about the relationship with Huntington Hospital," said Philippe D'Offay, Founder of pMDsoft. "This implementation demonstrates the system's flexibility and broad functionality in both the small to large group practice as well as the system's ability to serve the unique needs of a large hospital environment."
Headquartered in Atlanta, pMDsoft develops wireless applications that help physicians streamline and automate their entire practice from point-of-care through reimbursement. The company was started in 1999 to address mobile physicians' needs for an effective alternative to their paper-based method for recording patient encounter information. pMDsoft's automated charge capture solution adheres to the highest standards for performance, security and reliability.
