BG> "New Software Available for Physicians' Offices and Community-Based
BG> Research" AIDS Treatment News (12/18/92) No. 165, P. 4 (James, John
BG> S.) A medical-office and research software system is now available
BG> for community-based research organizations and for medical-records
BG> management in physicians' offices and clinics. The system, called
BG> Medsys, was developed over the last five years by the nonprofit
BG> National Community Research Initiative (NCRI). Medsys is easy to
BG> use--it automates the maintenance of patients' charts, produces
BG> custom patient flowsheets on demand, and assists in other functions
BG> including prescriptions, laboratory, specialists and referrals, and
BG> scheduling. The system keeps almost all patient data in a
BG> compatible, computerized form so that records can be combined from
BG> different practices and clinics for retrospective studies. In
BG> addition, it greatly cuts the work of identifying patients within a
BG> practice who are eligible for a prospective clinical trial. Medsys
BG> operates on a local area network of DOS computers. Also, physicians
BG> can access the system by telephone from home, or by portable computers
BG> while traveling, giving them complete access to patient records in an
BG> emergency, even during nights or weekends. The system is sold
BG> commercially by Medical Office Management Systems (MOMS), a
BG> for-profit group. MOMS sells Medsys for $25,000, which includes
BG> installation and training, with an annual $2,500 additional
BG> maintenance fee. This does not include the cost of the computers that
BG> need to be purchased before installation. -!-
