  Company description: Telemedicine Solutions announces WoundRoundsTM, an affordable electronic documentation and wound care management service delivered over the Internet on a subscription basis. Nurses use mobile devices to capture wound assessments and images at the bedside. The information is uploaded over the Internet to secure servers. Authorized users can download clinical documentation and reports to any PC and monitor wound healing 24/7. WoundRounds supports clinical decision-making by incorporating clinically validated tools and best practices for wound assessment, prevention and outcomes tracking. WoundRounds also supports telemedicine consultations, which can improve communication and collaboration with physicians and other referral sources.

  Advice for Clinicians: ­In the new environment of health reform and bundled reimbursement, accurate and compliant documentation is essential for both clinical care and fiscal viability. WoundRounds offers an affordable solution for the documentation and management of complex acute and chronic wounds. The system is easy to learn and easy to use, and offers enhanced functionality that conventional systems lack. Facilities pay a one-time start up fee, plus an annual license fee for ongoing use of software, updates and support. WoundRounds is a low cost, highly effective tool for documenting care and tracking wound outcomes.

Intellicure, Inc.

sales@intellicure.com
Location: The Woodlands, Texas
Founded: 2000

  PMR system or a software product?: ­Intellicure is an Electronic Health Record (EHR) as specified by both the Health Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS) and the HITECH Act. Specifically, it automatically calculates the billed level of service by assessing the fields documented in the EHR. Clinicians perform no additional work in order to generate a charge master or billing sheet. We have HL-7 interfacing with other records systems. We provide core clinical documentation; computerized physician order entry (CPOE), quality reporting (e.g. PQRI), and can send data to a personal health record. Documentation in Intellicure is largely via “click and scroll” menu options, allowing the use of SNOMED (systematic nomenclature of medicine) taxonomy and this facilitates the interoperable data exchange, which is mandated by the HITECH Act.
