SuiteMed Solutions Electronic Health Record (EHR) System Customized to Receive Data From ALR Technologies Health-E-Connect Patient Monitoring System

WINSTON-SALEM, NC--(Marketwire - September 24, 2009) - SuiteMed Solutions, a NC Triad healthcare technology company, announces it is customizing their SuiteMed EHR to facilitate receipt of patient data from ALR Technologies' patented Health-E-Connect patient monitoring system. This data can be important for care plan evaluation, monitoring services billing and reimbursement as well as lending to the "meaningful use" criteria for government funding to medical clinics for implementation of EHRs.

SuiteMed Solutions' EHR package will also include patient in-home setup service for up to 100 patients for each participating medical clinic; patients with chronic disease such as COPD or asthma that their physicians prescribe the ALRT Health-E-Connect system. The package will also include up to 100 of the ALRT Constant Health Companion (CHC) communication and compliance devices.

Diane Matthews, CEO of Laser Logics (SuiteMed Solutions), reports that her company is determined to provide the best EHR and most comprehensive in improving cost efficiencies and patient outcome in healthcare: "We truly believe our system is the most user friendly, technology rich and cost effective system and with ALR Technologies system capability of monitoring respiratory patients we will add important patient data by extending the medical professional care into the patient's home, assisting with patient accountability and adherence in their prescribed care-plan."

President Obama, in February, signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and made available $19 billion for Healthcare Information Technology (HIT), to enable medical practices to implement qualified technology in practice management and patient care.

"The HIT funding provides a valuable and reasonable incentive to assist medical clinics and medical professionals in moving to the use of Electronic Health Record systems and we concur that the use of technology can bring improved efficiencies in cost and patient management that can make positive change in healthcare," adds Matthews.

The SuiteMed EHR is a CCHIT certified and comprehensive system covering practice management, scheduling, check-in/check-out, referral and authorization tracking, lab report tracking, e-prescribing, patient notes, work flow, letter writing, reports, billing and patient portal. With several thousand SuiteMed EHRs already in medical facilities receiving rave reviews, Matthews believes the demand for her company's product will increase significantly with the customization to accommodate patient data from the ALRT Health-E-Connect. SuiteMed Solutions marketing group sells the system throughout the US.
