MITEM
Releases 2.0 Version of the Blue Iris Expansion Pack
New
features such as electronic signature capabilities and
performance enhancements enable physicians to create,
store and manage clinical documentation
MENLO
PARK, CA February 9, 2005 - MITEM Corporation, a developer
of integration software solutions and clinical applications
for health care, today announced the release of the
Blue Iris MD Expansion Pack 2.0. The MD Expansion Pack
is designed for use by physicians in a hospital setting
who access patient data to create, manage and electronically
sign clinical documentation. The MD Expansion Pack presents
patient data in an electronic progress note format.
A significant
feature of the MD Expansion Pack 2.0 release is the
ability to retrieve a comprehensive patient history
from MEDITECH MAGIC. Now, physicians can retrieve, via
a rich internet application, lab orders, medications,
nursing notes, consultation reports and admission and
discharge summaries from any or all previous hospital
visits. With just a few mouse clicks, wide-ranging historical
patient data can be viewed and placed into a current
progress note, giving the attending physician a more
in-depth view of a patient's medical record. Physicians
consider the patient history retrieval feature an important
addition to the MD Expansion Pack's 24 hour data range
view because it enables them to make better medical
decisions at the point of care.
This release
also provides physicians with advanced exam template
creation features within the electronic progress note.
Physical exam templates can now be categorized into
logical groupings, enabling physicians to create templates
for certain types of diseases such as pneumonia or for
particular cardiac conditions. In addition, the MD Expansion
Pack 2.0 allows providers to set a preference to automatically
pull forward information from past progress notes into
the current one.
Andy Nelson ,
director of products for MITEM, states, The Blue Iris
2.0 MD Expansion Pack enables an inpatient physician
