HIMSS07: Medworxx Launches Emergency Readiness Software for Hospitals

TORONTO and NEW ORLEANS, February 26th, 2007 – At HIMSS07, Medworxx today announced the commercial launch of their Emergency Readiness software solution for hospitals. The technology solution is built upon the Medworxx tried and proven technology platform in use within 75 healthcare organizations and 150 hospitals throughout North America.

“It is about time that emergency planning moves forward and joins the technological age,” said Tom Davis, Manager Emergency Planning & Life Safety, Kingston Hospitals. “As an emergency planner, the biggest barrier is trying to bring everything together and have it readily available in an emergency; this software will be an excellent way to ensure quick response.”

“Our Emergency Readiness solution will aggregate and disseminate information to the right people, in real time, throughout all phases of mitigation, preparation, response, and recovery,” said Dan Matlow, President and CEO, Medworxx. “We are confident that the hospitals using our trusted knowledge platform will immediately see the value in what we are launching here today, and that in short order, many hospitals will adopt this uniquely hospital-focused Emergency Readiness solution.”

Medworxx’ Learning Management System, Content Management System, Policies and Procedures/Document Management and Clinical Utilization Management are widely used Medworxx applications that are incorporated in the company’s Emergency Readiness solution.

The Medworxx Emergency Readiness solution meets and exceeds JCAHO, NIMS, ICS compliance requirements with online, dynamic and real time Hazard Vulnerability Analysis, ICS organizational chart, ICS form repositories and enhanced communication portals for both internal and external stakeholders.
