ROCHESTER, N.Y., Oct. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Logical Images, a developer of point-of-care medical diagnostic software, today announced that VisualDx(R) will support clinicians at 10 District of Columbia hospital emergency departments and 20 District of Columbia Department of Health Clinics in accurately diagnosing and appropriately treating patients who present with visual symptoms of disease. The District of Columbia Emergency Health and Medical Services Administration (EHMSA) acquired the 30 VisualDx licenses through bioterrorism preparedness grant funding from the Centers for Disease Control.
The EHMSA agreement follows the announcement earlier this month that the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) has selected Logical Images to provide VisualDx diagnostic software to eight Regional Resource Centers (RRCs) throughout New York State (outside of New York City).

"We are proud to support EHMSA in its efforts to provide the district with quality healthcare and effective emergency preparedness."
Hospitals in the district that will utilize VisualDx include George Washington University Medical Center, Georgetown University Medical Center, Howard University Hospital, and Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
