Emergisoft and CapsuleTech Inc. Announced an Integration Partnership that Advances Clinical Productivity in the Emergency Department.

Dallas, TX & Portland, OR - June 14, 2007 – Emergisoft, the leader in Emergency Department Information Systems (EDIS), today announced an integration partnership with CapsuleTech, Inc., the world’s leading independent supplier of connectivity solutions for medical device data integration. The partnership will allow Emergisoft to install Capsule’s DataCaptor™ Connectivity Suite into all present and future healthcare facilities that use Emergisoft’s ED applications.

DataCaptor automatically integrates patient clinical information from any bedside medical device by converting medical device data to HL7 format and communicating it to EmergisoftED™ in a unified data stream. DataCaptor supports one of the largest device interface libraries in the world with over 330 different types of medical devices, such as patient monitors, ventilators and infusion pumps, supported.

The partnership will benefit Emergency Departments by offering clinicians a more time-efficient process for gathering patient information. The information that DataCaptor communicates to EmergisoftED was usually collected manually at each patient’s bedside device several times a day. By seamlessly connecting DataCaptor to EmergisoftED, vital signs and other important medical device data can be available for Emergency Department staff to access, review, track and report online in real time, thus increasing clinical productivity and efficiencies.

Charlie Kesinger, COO of Emergisoft states, “This is an exciting opportunity for Emergisoft and CapsuleTech to provide our clients with the necessary tools which will allow for automated patient monitoring.” Mr. Kesinger also adds, “This relationship further highlights our commitment to provide our client’s with best-of-breed solutions and support of strategic initiatives that will bring improvements to the Emergency Department.”

"We are delighted to work with Emergisoft,” says Arnaud Houette, CEO of CapsuleTech. “This partnership will give us the opportunity to further advance clinical productivity via workflow automation in the Emergency department, where every second counts,” adds Mr. Houette.

EmergisoftED is a complete Web-based architecture, Microsoft .NET, CCHIT-certified Emergency Department Information Solution (EDIS) that automates each step of the patient management and patient documentation process in the emergency department, including: triage, patient tracking, physician and nurse documentation, order entry, immediate access to results, charge capture, disposition, discharge instructions, scanning and digital imaging, and real-time management reporting including syndromic surveillance.
The EC Forms Digital Solution integrates with EmergisoftED or your hospital's existing EDIS. Once the information is transmitted, all data can be edited and verified for accuracy. Structured data is transmitted in XML, PDF, or HL7 output for coding, billing, and registration systems.
Emergisoft's Electronic Charting Pen (EC Pen) is a pen-on-paper technology that will capture handwritten information in digital format for immediate processing. This innovative technology lets you retain the familiar process of handwriting and capture data digitally at the same time. This makes it portable and easy for the clinicians to document anywhere within the emergency department without the requirement of a computer or other mobile devices. Emergisoft has designed complaint-based, onscreen physician documentation forms that can be used with or without Emergisoft's EC Pen. The EC Forms Digital Solution instantly transforms the structured, template-based paper chart to an electronic natural-language chart and stored in HIPAA compliant data storage.
Emergisoft Maritime streamlines the interaction between medical staff, crew, and guests, by utilizing a portable and paperless Electronic Medical Record. By automating triage, tracking, nurse and physician documentation, and reporting, Emergisoft Maritime provides Natural Language Output, a legible medical record, and eliminates time consuming manual reporting processes.
Emergisoft's EC Forms Paper Charting Solution, a comprehensive, complaint-specific physician documentation system, drives emergency department efficiency and productivity at about 90% less than the cost of traditional paper charting solutions. For an introductory period, Emergisoft is offering a 3-year, unlimited-use license of the EC Forms for the cost of $10,000 per facility. Hospitals looking to transition to electronic physician documentation can move seamlessly from EC Forms Paper Charting to our EC Forms Digital solution.
