GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., May 21 /PRNewswire/ -- MICROMEDEX, a part of The Thomson Corporation (NYSE: TOC; TSX: TOC), the leader in information solutions for healthcare and scientific professionals, and Bond Technologies, one of the first .NET electronic health records (EHR) providers, announce the integration of comprehensive clinical information from MICROMEDEX into Bond's robust Electronic Health Record (EHR) software, titled Clinician EHR 2004.
Relied upon in 88% of the top hospitals* in the U.S., MICROMEDEX has a proven track record of providing clinical decision support information for physicians, pharmacists, and healthcare organizations throughout the country. Bond Technologies required clinical content that was comprehensive, current, reliable and relevant. "Thomson Healthcare's MICROMEDEX content is superior to others we looked at," said Travis Bond, President of Bond Technologies. "Their commitment to quality and use of medical experts provides our professionals with critical information written to them and for them."
Though a number of EMR and EHR providers have integrated portions of MICROMEDEX content, Bond Technologies is one of the first EHR developers to deploy the full suite of MICROMEDEX integrated decision support products, such as the Physician's Desk Reference (PDR) in addition to their evidence-based clinical information and screening tools. With the two companies combining technology and content, healthcare providers have the added benefit and comfort of up to date clinical information imbedded into one application.
"MICROMEDEX is pleased to work with Bond Technologies to deliver a truly intelligent EHR system for offices with one provider to hundreds of providers," said Jeff Reihl, Executive Vice President of MICROMEDEX. "The Clinician EHR 2004 application delivers reliable decision support as part of the clinician's workflow, supporting best practices and helping improve outcomes."
During this week's TEPR (Towards an Electronic Patient Record) conference and exhibition, Bond Technologies launched the Clinician EHR 2004 system. Within their exhibit, titled "The Digital Medical Office of the Future," attendees of TEPR are able to see the advantages of the partnership between Thomson and Bond Technologies first hand. Clinician EHR 2004 is positioned to advance the electronic health record market by combining the most advanced technology and up-to-date clinical information, with an easy to use and affordable software application.
