Dec. 14, 2012 03:19 PM
PHYAURA EHR, a leading open-source provider of web-based
Electronic Health Record (EHR) software, is pleased to announce a
strategic partnership with ClickMedix, LLC that will enhance their
innovative mobile health technology, mHealth.
“I've looked at many EHR solutions and selected PHYAURA because it was
designed by experienced practicing physicians,” explains Ting Shih,
Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “At ClickMedix, we aim to free
physicians from paper work and bureaucracy so that they can do what they
do best - that is to treat patients. PHYAURA EHR is designed to
effectively expedite clinical workflow, and when used in conjunction
with the mobile front-end of ClickMedix, we are completing the
end-to-end care for patients, from early detection to diagnosis,
treatment, billing, follow-up care, and patient education for
preventative care through easily accessible mobile phones or web
browsers.”
ClickMedix designed mobile health systems can withstand unreliable or
intermittent mobile network, serves patients from rural regions to
crowded urban areas, while streamlining the varied workflows of
healthcare providers to lower the overall costs of healthcare.
ClickMedix has created a HIPAA-compliant and user-friendly mHealth
platform that can be deployed quickly to health practitioners and
connect patients with medical experts worldwide. Ms. Shih leads the
design, development, and deployment efforts for ClickMedix’s affordable
healthcare platform used for telemedicine, home-visit care, and patient
self-management.
According to Jude A. Pierre, MD, co-founder of PHYAURA, “Input of
patient data at point of care takes on a whole new meaning now. Our
strategic partnership will allow physicians and health care
professionals the ability to document care given within the office or
the field.”
Together, PHYAURA and ClickMedix will enter the market segment of
corporations looking to provide a better way to deliver health care to
their employees via secure mobile technology services. This will allow
the clinicians to utilize telemedicine to consult with and treat
employees. “Not only does this save on medical costs, it improves
patient care and all within one platform,” explains Dr. Pierre.
“Employees and employers lose hours of work time traveling and waiting
to receive health care. Therefore, many businesses are beginning to
incorporate mobile health services, which are easy to use, and a
convenience that everyone is viewing as a value-added benefit.”
