First electronic medical record system to receive national mark for
privacy, security and interoperability TORONTO, March 22, 2012
/CNW/ - Canada Health Infoway (Infoway) announced today that
Nightingale on Demand, a software product developed by Nightingale
Informatix Corporation , (Nightingale), is the first product in
Canada to successfully achieve electronic medical record (EMR)
certification. Infoway has developed EMR certification in concert
with its jurisdictional partners, to ensure that EMR solutions
conform to national and international standards for privacy,
security and interoperability. "We salute this achievement by
Nightingale because it is fundamental to Infoway's mandate that
authorized health care providers, such as physicians and nurse
practitioners, have ready access to accurate and comprehensive
information about their patients through secure connections to
electronic health record systems," says Richard Alvarez, President
& CEO, Canada Health Infoway. In order to achieve
certification, Nightingale on Demand underwent an assessment
process to demonstrate that it met or exceeded the high standards
set by Infoway Certification Services. "Nightingale on Demand
provides the highest levels of security and privacy to ensure
patient information is properly secure and protected," said John
Bodolai, Executive Vice President of Nightingale. "We are
extremely proud to be the first vendor to receive EMR certification
from Canada Health Infoway. Nightingale continues to lead the
EMR industry in Canada; both in terms of certification, as well as
in terms of the adoption of its EMR by physicians." Nightingale is
making considerable strides in the development and implementation
of EMR software, and has successfully implemented Nightingale on
Demand across Canada. EMR systems, like Nightingale on Demand,
allow health care professionals to enter, store and retrieve notes
from their patient interactions along with information about
allergies, immunizations and prescribed medications. They
also provide secure access to repositories holding information
about lab results, radiology reports and hospital stays. EMRs
help support and coordinate the work of interdisciplinary health
teams, as well. Infoway's strategic efforts to hasten EMR adoption
and use at the point of care in community and out-patient care
settings, leverages and connects to the work that has already been
done to build jurisdictional electronic health record systems that
allow authorized clinicians access to key information about their
patients' health histories. About Nightingale Informatix
