Disease Management Software Implements Comprehensive Guidelines
While Improving Patient Safety and Lowering Costs
WESTPORT, Conn.--(Business Wire)--
Standing Stone, Inc., a leader in disease state management
solutions, announces the launch of its DMClinic(TM) software
application. DMClinic will help hospitals, clinics and other
healthcare facilities manage their inpatient and outpatient diabetic
patients. DMClinic is the latest in a series of clinical support
disease management applications that includes CoagClinic and
CholesterolClinic.
"We're delighted to have had the chance of being involved with the
development of DMClinic for the past several years," said Mark W.
Wurster, MD FACP, Standing Stone's Chief Medical Officer and Clinical
Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine at Ohio State University. He
concluded, "Initial experience with this application has shown
significant improvements in patient quality of care metrics, while
simultaneously improving the fiscal efficiency of end-users. We hope
that this application proves to be as successful as CoagClinic and
CholesterolClinic in terms of improving the delivery of health care."
The full-featured software combines point-of-service testing for
HgbA1C and glucose with computerized decision support, providing a
web-based, customizable approach to both therapy management and
documentation.
DMClinic features several innovations including detailed
checklists on Health Maintenance Activities, tracking of multiple
diabetes medications, comprehensive patient and clinic reports and a
patient education section all combined with Standing Stone's "one
screen" approach which helps speed data input and clinic efficiency.
Installing DMClinic's HL7 interface enables automatic synchronization
of data throughout the organization.
"Our customers have been asking for a diabetes management tool for
several years and we are pleased to be able to offer a world class
product that is an excellent adjunct to our anticoagulation and
cholesterol management products," said Albert J. Bartosic, President
of Standing Stone. He continued, "DMClinic is a unique and improved
system to track and manage a health care professional's diabetic
population."
