ELECTRONIC MEDICAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS INSTALLS ECIS AT ILLINOIS
HEART & LUNG ASOCIATES
Indianapolis,
Indiana (September 3, 2002) – GEMMS today announced it
signed an agreement with Illinois Heart & Lung Associates
to install its electronic clinical information system in the practice.
The GEMMS ECIS system is a cardiology-specific system that integrates
a practice’s clinical, fiscal and management information
into one system.
Today’s announcement places Illinois Heart & Lung Associates
in a national network of over 350 physicians, which represents
over 1.3 million patients using the ECIS system in over 73 clinics.
Illinois Heart & Lung Associates, which has 12 physicians
and 3 clinic locations, saw the need to implement a fully integrated
system that would not only create operational efficiencies, but
also provide their physicians with a tool that can help them in
offering the highest possible care to their patients.
“Traditional, practice management systems constrain a practice’s
ability to optimally access, organize and analyze complete and
comprehensive patient information,” said Rodger Pinto, PhD.,
and CEO of Gateway Electronic Medical Management Systems. “Because
ECIS was develop by clinicians who understand the unique needs
associated with medicine, ECIS offers cardiologists the potential
to improve information access and the overall quality of care
which is delivered.”
ECIS creates and maintains complete medical records, streamlines
workflow and manages critical data related to patient care outcomes.
It automatically creates documents and letters, generates prescriptions,
stores cardiac images, and exchanges data with hospitals and labs.
