VisualMED Clinical Solutions Corporation
was established in 2004 with the sole purpose of marketing
state-of-the-art Clinical Information Systems (CIS) to healthcare
institutions, based on a robust core CPOE engine conceived by
clinicians, integrated within a comprehensive patient electronic
medical record.
One of the greatest challenges that will face health care providers over the next 10 years will be to improve patient safety in hospitals by the elimination of medical error.
In North America it is estimated that as many as 10% of patients admitted to hospital are subject to some form of medical error. Preventable medical errors are estimated to cause up to 100,000 deaths annually, with another 250,000 suffering some form of permanent injury. A significant number of these errors are medication errors, resulting in adverse drug events (ADEs), or are associated with other inadequate hospital procedures.
To combat this problem, a new generation of computer software has been developed, providing facilities for electronic prescribing, computer physician order entry (CPOE) and clinical decision support. Studies in live North American hospital environments indicate that the application of CPOE technology can reduce these types of errors by more than 50% - and, in some cases, by up to 86%.
As health care costs rise faster than can be sustained by regional and national governments, Health Departments and Ministries are recognizing that the long term solution will need to be based on better health care information management, management that can best be addressed by the implementation of state-of-the-art integrative solutions such as those marketed by VisualMED Clinical Solutions Corporation.
An emerging trend is developing in the government sector, with legislatures in France, Australia, Canada and several of the the United States developing consensus and legislation pushing forward an agenda that sees the rationalization of healthcare practice. This rationalization is accomplished by making available to clinicians information stored in heretofore disparate non-communicating information systems, while integrating the documentation of care into a uniform electronic medical record easily accessed by caregivers both locally and regionally. The products marketed by VisualMED Clinical Solutions are the solution.
