Digital Pen plus MD Form Manager Provides Traditional Documentation Approach of Pen and Paper to EHR
New York, New York

MedLink, a leading provider of Electronic Health Records and practice management solutions, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Health Informatics, Inc. a provider of cutting edge clinical data digitization technology that simplifies and streamlines the adoption of Electronic Health Records.

The Health Informatics Digital Pen, in conjunction with MD Form Manager, is the flagship offering of the Company. The Digital Pen looks and feels like a normal ball point pen, however, the Digital Pen contains an integrated infrared digital camera, an advanced image microprocessor and a mobile communications device for wireless connection. The camera records the precise location of ink strokes as it moves over a uniquely constructed grid of microscopic dot patterns. These dots provide the pen with exact co-ordinates of its position, which, through MD Form Manager, are designed to interface directly with the MedLink EHR to collect discrete data elements that electronically populate the patient chart. The solution provides doctors and their staff with the traditional documentation approach of pen and paper, but the advanced ability of digitally documenting and capturing the data required to provide 'meaningful use' and other quality data reports.

Ray Vuono, President of MedLink, stated, "We partnered with Health Informatics a little over three months ago to offer the Digital Pen and the immediate reception to the technology in the marketplace was overwhelming. Both parties immediately realized the potential and the overall benefits of a combined solution and we've worked diligently over the past few months with Health Informatics to move beyond the inherent limitations of a partnership. The MD Form Manager and Digital Pen provides MedLink with a significant competitive advantage and I'm very excited to welcome Mr. Sayed Alam to the MedLink team, who I'm sure will be one of our most valuable assets. Mr. Alam, the President of Health Informatics, in addition to building a technology platform and enterprise offering, provides MedLink with a wealth of Industry knowledge, foresight and business acumen."
