OmniMD chooses the MEDCIN® Terminology Engine for its Specialty EMR

Tarrytown (NY)—Sept 13, 2005--- OmniMD, a leading developer of HIPAA-compliant healthcare solutions, has announced the availability of MEDCIN® clinical engine in its Specialty Electronic Medical Records (EMR) product. MEDCIN® includes more than 270,000 clinical data elements covering symptoms, history, physical examination, tests, diagnoses and therapy. MEDCIN® has evolved over 26 years, in collaboration with physicians on staff from Cornell, Harvard, Johns Hopkins and other medical centers.

Driven by MEDCIN®, OmniMD's Specialty EMR offers a core tool allowing healthcare providers to create and maintain electronic documentation of each patient encounter. Physicians can record patient data using an easy and intuitive point-and- click system to create a well-structured and comprehensive medical record. Users also have the flexibility to include their own custom data sets and templates into the point-and-click system.

Point-and-click EMR reduces documentation time by over 60%. Patient encounter documentation at the point of care eliminates delays due to manual documentation and medical errors due to illegible notes. A single-click search allows instant retrieval of electronic patient charts, encounter notes, patient vitals, history, review of systems, procedure notes and medical assessments and plans.
