Nova Scotia is improving security and privacy for thousands of
patients whose medical information is stored electronically.
MARKHAM, ON, April 2, 2012 /CNW/ - Nightingale Informatix
Corporation ("Nightingale" or the "Company") , an application
service provider (ASP) of electronic medical record (EMR) software
and related services, announces that Nightingale on Demand is the
first electronic medical record system to receive jurisdictional
certification in Nova Scotia from Canada Health Infoway. Nova
Scotia doctors who use it now have an extra level of security.
"Electronic medical records provide doctors with timely access to
patient records so that Nova Scotians receive better care sooner,"
said Maureen MacDonald, Minister of Health and Wellness. "I want to
congratulate Nightingale on achieving certification because about
900 front line health care providers in Nova Scotia use the
Nightingale system." To meet certification, the software underwent
rigorous evaluation and testing to show that it met privacy and
security standards set by Canada Health Infoway. "As the leading
web-based electronic medical record in Canada, 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 electronic medical records vendor
to receive jurisdictional certification with the province of Nova
Scotia." Electronic medical records provide physicians with
comprehensive access to patient information, increase productivity
by reducing paperwork, and ultimately provide better quality of
care for patients. Managing patient care also becomes more
efficient. For patients with chronic conditions, an electronic
medical record can flag when the patient is due for an appointment
or important procedure. Physicians are able to proactively
follow-up with patients for routine check-ups and tests, and easily
identify patients to contact in the case of a medication recall.
