WEST CHESTER, Pa., Oct. 10, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- BETTERHEALTH Global (USA), Inc. and Main Line Diagnostic Imaging and Women's Center today jointly announced the immediate availability of electronic diagnostic report delivery to physicians. With this service, Main Line Diagnostic radiology reports are transmitted through BETTERHEALTH exchange(tm) and integrated directly into BETTERHEALTH record(tm), a comprehensive document management and electronic health record system in the physician's office. Reports are therefore available in the physician's office within minutes of completion of a study.
With this collaborative arrangement, physician offices can immediately begin to benefit from the convenience and reliability of electronic document management. As need arises within the practice, the system can be easily upgraded to a totally integrated EHR solution allowing all dictated notes, external reports, lab results, instrument interfaces, images, scanned documents, and direct dictionary-based data capture directly into the patient's electronic healthcare record. BETTERHEALTH record(tm) is a complete electronic health record solution which is multilingual and highly customizable to the specific needs of the practice.
"Receiving diagnostic reports directly into BETTERHEALTH record(tm) has significantly streamlined our records management and enhanced physician convenience since reports are readily available in any of our offices," said David Postiglione, Administrator of Ruggiero Ruggiero Mazur Orthopedic Associates of Paoli, PA.
BETTERHEALTH Global (USA) President, Jack Kemery, said, "Much of the benefit of electronic health records is reducing the paper nightmare that is healthcare today. This simple document management approach is an easy first step toward automating patient clinical charts."
"Main Line Diagnostic Imaging is proud to be partnered with BETTERHEALTH Global," said CEO Michael Carr. "We continually strive to deliver enhanced patient care and physician convenience through leading technologies and services."
