Nightingale integrates Cissec’s
patient management system
KINGSTON, Ont. – Cissec Corporation
announced that is has entered into an exclusive strategic partnership
with Nightingale Informatix Corp., a healthcare application service
provider (ASP) of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and practice
management software, that will see Nightingale integrate Cissec’s
Patient Care Monitor technology (PCM) into its “Nightingale On-Demand”
EMR product suite.
“We are pleased to be partnering with Nightingale to bring this unique
technology to the healthcare market,” said Mike Rimmer, President and
CEO of Cissec Corp. “With its leadership position in the Canadian EMR
market and its growing footprint in the U.S., Nightingale is well
positioned to successfully roll out this powerful, integrated
application across North America.”
PCM is a clinical management tool that enables physicians, clinics and
hospitals to track patient progress through the clinical care pathway in
real-time, manage the entire process and measure patient wait time at
any point in the system.
In addition, PCM offers standardized workflow options and creates
patient timeline targets based on individual care requirements.
Physicians can use PCM to evaluate timelines on a patient-by-patient
basis, or across their entire patient base. PCM also provides
administrators with the ability to identify, monitor and correct
suboptimal processes and resources within their facilities, thereby
improving patient wait time management.
“A key component of our organic growth strategy is to maintain our
technology leadership by consistently enhancing our product suite,” said
Sam Chebib, President and CEO of Nightingale. “Further strengthening our
position in the North American EMR market by partnering with Cissec on
this exciting initiative is a natural fit.”
Mr. Chebib continued: “Healthcare practitioners are increasingly faced
with the pressure to manage patient care cycles more efficiently,
especially as governments have now begun to set wait time objectives. By
integrating Cissec’s PCM technology with our EMR solution, we have
provided physicians and practice managers with the tools they need to
automatically measure and manage patient timelines, identify bottlenecks
in their processes and in turn improve upon the timeliness and quality
of patient care they deliver.”
