EMRConsultant.com Surpasses First 1,000 Queries in Free Service to Doctors on Electronic Medical Record Solutions WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Jan 24 /PRNewswire/ -- EMRConsultant.com ( http://www.emrconsultant.com/ ) today announced that its proprietary system has successfully fielded more than 1,000 queries from physicians and medical groups around the country looking to modernize medical records and reduce spending through the use of computer technology. "We're very pleased to have surpassed our initial projections since we launched this free online service to help doctors better evaluate the hundreds of choices they have when seeking Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and Electronic Health Record (EHR) solutions," said orthopedic surgeon Eric S. Fishman, M.D., the founder and president of EMRConsultant.com. "We've had a very welcome reaction from physicians we've been able to provide with objective recommendations, frequently within a 24-hour period. We think our exhaustive research to come up with 'best practices' in EMR solutions is of particular value to medical societies and associations around the country who are actively pursuing ways to reduce costs," Dr. Fishman added. Electronic Medical Records, also known as Electronic Health Records or EHRs, are vigorously promoted by the federal government and by private sector institutions such as national and state medical associations. Delivering his State of the Union address last year, President George W. Bush stated that "by computerizing health records, we can avoid dangerous medical mistakes, reduce costs, and improve care." "The President has articulated a goal of an EMR/EHR for every patient in America within 10 years and we think we're very well positioned to help move that process along," Dr. Fishman continued. Dr. Fishman and his team conduct extensive research for evaluating EMR software programs based on core functional capabilities and have developed a proprietary method to facilitate a systematic and comprehensive evaluation of medical records software products. EMRConsultant.com evaluates the EMR's core functional capabilities with respect to patient health information and data, test and lab results management, order entry, decision support, electronic communication and connectivity, compatibility with speech recognition, patient support and administrative processes. In addition, EMRConsultant.com takes into account the number of physicians in the practice or organization, the medical specialty or specialties of the practitioners, and the practice management software already in use in the organization. A long-time proponent for Electronic Medical Records, Dr. Fishman launched EMRConsultant.com as a spin-off of 1450 Inc., distributor of Dragon NaturallySpeaking(R) Medical Solutions manufactured by Scansoft, Inc. (NASDAQ:SSFT), a global leader of speech recognition software solutions.
