PR Newswire (Canada)
MARKHAM, ON, Nov. 24 /CNW/ -- MARKHAM, ON, Nov. 24 /CNW/ -
Nightingale Informatix Corporation (TSX-V: NGH) ("Nightingale" or
the "Company"), an application service provider (ASP) of electronic
medical record (EMR) software and related services today announces
that its leading, web-native EMR and practice management solution,
Nightingale On Demand, has been implemented in the Military Family
Resource Centre (MFRC) Medical Clinic, which opens its permanent
facilities today at the 22 Wing North Bay Air Base. The MFRC
Medical Clinic currently offers medical care to all Regular Force
families and United States Air Force families located in the North
Bay area. It is the first MFRC clinic to utilize an EMR solution.
"Nightingale is proud to be the EMR partner of the MFRC Medical
Clinic," said John Bodolai, Executive Vice President of
Nightingale. "We are committed to working with the physicians and
clinic staff to ensure that Nightingale On Demand meets and exceeds
the needs of the military families of 22 Wing North Bay. This
initiative is a true example of the value that EMRs have in
healthcare today. For the first time, many of the people treated at
the MFRC Medical Clinic will have medical documentation that can
follow them to their next location. This is a step towards
providing a true continuum of healthcare for military families, and
we are fully supportive of the goals set out by the MFRC Medical
Clinic Workgroup." The MFRC Medical Clinic Workgroup
representatives informed Nightingale that one of their major
objectives was to select the EMR solution that would best meet the
needs of 22 Wing military families. After discussing the needs and
objectives in great detail, Nightingale was chosen amongst its
competitors to form a dedicated partnership that would
significantly enhance the abilities to provide a comprehensive
Medical File Maintenance practice for the military families today
and into the future as the clinic grows. In early 2010,
the MFRC Medical Clinic Workgroup identified the need for a medical
clinic with EMR capabilities to provide care to military families.
As a result of the nomadic lifestyle of military families, most do
not have comprehensive medical records. Further, access to
healthcare was limited because of a shortage of family physicians
in the North Bay area. Many were seeking care at walk-in clinics
and hospital emergency rooms, but these options also presented
obstacles, as many walk-in clinics had changed their procedures and
began requiring appointments and wait times at emergency rooms were
increasingly long. In May 2010, funding was granted to the MFRC
Medical Clinic Workgroup by 1 Canadian Air Division to open the
MFRC Medical Clinic. More than 460 members of military families
have already registered as patients, to be treated by the four
physicians currently providing part-time care at the MFRC Medical
Clinic. As additional physicians join the MFRC Medical Clinic,
services will be extended to Class B Reservist families, Class A
Reservist families, and families and civilian members of the
Department of National Defense Team. The MFRC Medical Clinic plans
to secure enough physicians to allow for the availability of
medical services to all members the 22 Wing North Bay and
surrounding area Department of National Defense Team. Nightingale's
EMR solution, Nightingale On Demand, is a full featured, web-native
EMR and practice management system that automates clinical
activities such as documenting patient care, prescription writing,
