SARASOTA, Fla., Sept. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- When the rain subsided and the clouds of hurricane Charley began to clear; Dr. Sam Altajar beheld a scene of total destruction of the facility where he practices medicine in Wauchula, Florida. Charley had tore the roof off the building and left the physical contents of Cardiac & Vascular Consultants in a complete shambles. In the past, this would have caused irreparable harm ... due largely to the potential loss of patient and other information of crucial importance to the operation of the medical practice. However, due to the secure system of electronic medical records developed by AutoMedicWorks (AMW), based in Sarasota, FL the most valuable contents escaped Charley's devastation and the ability to access critical patient information and provide high quality care didn't miss a beat.
While other businesses were boarding up windows and sandbagging doors for Charley and then Frances, AMW was automatically providing state-of-the-art security and backup for vital medical files and information of individual patients as well as important business information of medical practices. The security measures provided by AutoMedicWorks, are part of an integrated technological tool set available to specialists, like the cardiologists in Wauchula, and others in general practice. The level of security is equal to that used by banks and even in military level applications.
Over recent months the value of information technology to the field of healthcare has received unprecedented recognition as evidenced by bipartisan proposals in the Congress and by President Bush when, on April 26, he unveiled a comprehensive Electronic Health Record development initiative. Providers and patients "should have personal electronic medical files available that accurately and securely keep a patient's medical history. We need a system where [every patient] has their own personal electronic medical record ... " President Bush stated that this goal should be achieved in ten years.
"We're encouraged by the President's interest and vision." says Eric Griffin of AMW, "However, we don't believe that we have another decade to treat the ills of our healthcare system. With the cooperation of our business and technology partners, AMW will continue to demonstrate practical and affordable alternatives to improve the quality of healthcare." Griffin has over thirty years of personal, academic and professional experience in healthcare management.
