Representatives of the Unis-TongHe MMR Medical Information Technology Service Group Joint Venture ("JV") will be formalizing plans to commence the Zhengzhou City medical records project, which includes MMR's Personal Health Records services and other related products (www.mmrtheatre.com). Initial programs call for the provision of a variety of EMR services to China. The initial project will include deployment to one-third of Zhengzhou's population of nearly seven (7) million and, ultimately, the JV could deploy services to the majority of Zhengzhou's 1410 municipal health institutions. These institutions include 164 hospitals, 43 community health centers, 134 community health stations, 14 women and children health maintenance centers, 17 disease prevention and control centers and seven health supervision stations.
The first phase of the project includes two administrative regions of Zhengzhou City with more than 2.3 million residents. During the phase one trial period, the solution is expected to cover 42,231 healthcare professionals that include 16,389 assistant doctors and 16,432 registered nurses.
