CompuMed Expands Into Occupational Healthcare: Agreement With Fortune 50 Corporation Will Supply ECG Over-Reads In Workplace Clinic Network

Maurizio Vecchione, CompuMed's President and CEO, said, "Our move into occupational healthcare represents another possible expansion arena for the company's clinical care centralized ECG services. Increasingly employers, especially large ones, are in the front lines of having to provide specialized care. Our telecardiology service enables them to deliver specialist interpretation of ECGs at the point-of-care as they need it. Our solution is a cost-effective way to access cardiology expertise." He added that a confidentiality agreement precluded CompuMed from releasing the name of the company.

CompuMed's market expansion is the result of a new Electronic Medical Record (EMR) solution allowing CompuMed to receive ECGs and provide over-reads for any customer, anywhere, regardless of the type of ECG machine being used by that customer. Historically, the company was limited to clients with CompuMed ECG machines.

"We are excited about this important milestone for CompuMed," said Mr. Vecchione. "Now we can target customers with two new ways to send us ECGs to process. They can either transmit them electronically from their own communication enabled ECG machines or they can use a new broadband fax-to-e-mail system that we provide if their existing ECG machines do not have communication capabilities." This means that customers can access CompuMed's ECG over-reading services no matter what type or brand of ECG machine they are using in their facilities.

"This represents another example of how our commitment to electronic medical records impacts the safety, effectiveness and cost of healthcare by having the right information at the right place at the right time," Mr. Vecchione said. "CompuMed can help any healthcare provider that uses ECGs extensively into using integrated digital medical records, an important part of the Obama administration's challenge to computerize all medical records by 2014."
