Guest guest Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 6-14-2004 AUTOMEDICWORKS UTILIZES COMPUTERIZED SCREENING, INC.'S Proprietary Technology Maximizes Practice Efficiency by Accurately Measuring Vital Signs and Transmitting to Internet Based EMR Sparks, NV - June 14, 2004 - Computerized Screening, Inc. (CSI) today announced a strategic partnership with AutoMedicWorks, LLC. (AMW), " The Practice Automation SolutionT " , a web based healthcare management services provider that interfaces with all practice management systems. CSI's Health Station, the leading tool for preventive health screening and maintenance, will be part of AMW's practice automation solutions for maximizing operating efficiencies and reducing operating costs in physicians' offices. With a focus on enhancing the quality of patient care, the customized program features Health Stations as the primary point-of-service for patients. Following the initial launch of the program in cardiology offices, the partnering of AMW's technology with CSI will ultimately be expanded to other medical specialties, as well as general medicine and hospital settings. CSI's patented measurement methodology significantly reduces the risk of medical errors, which greatly enhances the quality of care received. During office visits, patients will have their vital signs measured by best-in-class technology that is regarded as the most accurate non-invasive, automated process in existence. The Health Station, equipped with a secure Personal Medical Record (PMR) feature, will communicate test results to AMW's web based Electronic Medical Record (EMR) for simple recording and rapid physician reference. The Health Stations' ability to store and transmit PMRs significantly enhances practice efficiency by reducing paperwork and enabling nurses to focus on patient care. AMW's proprietary web based practice automation software allows the doctor at the point and time of service to: schedule, order, document visits, diagnose patients, post charges, and transmit results-while automatically ensuring compliance and securing authorization. " In the context of the AMW system, CSI's Health Station will readily enable physician practices to achieve their goal of efficient, cost-effective operations, with enhanced patient care, " says Dr. Gene Myers, Founder of AMW. " Automating the vital sign tracking process streamlines operations as it allows nursing staff to focus on patient care as opposed to administration. We are confident that patient vital sign testing will be precise due to the renowned accuracy of the Health Station. " Patented in 2001, CSI's proprietary monitoring technology uses all three accepted, non-invasive measurement techniques - auscultatory (sound), oscillometric, (pressure), and pattern identification, based on a 10 year MIT study. The system analyzes 6,500 samples to determine a single blood pressure result. Additional benefits of CSI's Health Station include a weight assessment tool, wheelchair accessibility, a complete drug encyclopedia, and interactive health record management. Heart rate testing, fitness evaluations, and body mass index determinations are also available. For a more complete initial patient evaluation, additional non-invasive vital sign testing and monitoring applications are being added to the Health Station, including pulse oximetry and temperature. " Our partnership with AMW is an ideal way to bring the benefits of the Health Station directly to consumers, via the physician's office, " says Bluth, Founder & CEO of CSI. " We are pleased to be able to help physicians maximize operating efficiencies, as they will be better able to focus on the primary goal of enhanced patient care. " In addition to U.S. government facilities, CSI Health Stations are located in more than 3000 retail locations around the nation, including Longs, Meijer, Publix, Price Chopper, Raley's, Randall's, Safeway, Save Mart and ShopKo. In addition, CSI has established relationships with hundreds of corporations around the country, including many Fortune 500 companies. CSI corporate clients include Hewlett-Packard, Boeing, Colgate-Palmolive, American Honda, Apple Computer Inc., Blue Cross-Blue Shield, Maniilaq Association, Maxwell House, Becton Dickinson, Pharmacia, Astra-Zeneca, Dupont, Kaiser Permanente and Raytheon.
