New Mexico Software Telemedicine Service Featured in State-wide Stroke Awareness Month Program
Company’s IMEDCON Telemedicine System Cited in Speech Today by New Mexico Secretary of Health
ALBUQUERQUE, NM, May 15-- New Mexico Software, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: NMXC), www.nmxc.net, a leading services provider of next-generation business and medical information, announced today that its IMEDCON telemedicine system will be made available to statewide critical care centers under an agreement with the New Mexico Department of Health.
During a news conference earlier today, to announce new initiatives in preventing strokes and increasing survival rates, State Health Secretary, Dr. Alfredo Vigil said, “The Department of Health will be implementing the IMEDCON system from New Mexico Software to increase time-critical communications between New Mexico hospitals caring for stroke patients. Eight hospitals already have installed this important system that allows consulting physicians to review critical patient information and determine appropriate care in a timely way.”
The news conference was held at the Lovelace Rehabilitation Hospital in Albuquerque. IMEDCON was the only commercial product mentioned in the remarks prepared by Dr. Vigil.
IMEDCON is New Mexico Software’s web-based service developed to enhance the quality of numerous medical referrals, transports and consultations. The secure, HIPAA-compliant system allows referring hospitals from remote areas to transmit diagnostic digital brain and spine images. IMEDCON provides a way for consulting doctors to aid attending physicians in applying the appropriate care, reduce the initial assessment time and prepare for immediate actions when a patient may need to be transferred to a trauma center.
New Mexico Software CEO Dick Govatski said, “We’re honored to be recognized by the Secretary of Health as a key player in this important health initiative. Dr. Vigil’s remarks in today’s conference underscores our ability to provide improved support to referring hospitals and their health care providers in making critical triage decisions. IMEDCON is emerging as a state-wide standard for telemedicine applications. We’re especially proud to be able to improve patient care so significantly right here in New Mexico.”
“Early product testing proved that IMEDCON significantly reduces the costs of expensive transports in cases where physicians consulted and determined patient transport isn’t necessary. The infrastructure will be made available to medical facilities under an agreement with the Department of Health while medical facilities will pay for the service by a standard per-use fee. There are approximately 41 facilities that are eligible to participate in the IMEDCON service.”
