Midway, Utah / Cleveland, OH - September 3, 2003- Park City Solutions (PCS), the leading eHealth integration solution provider in healthcare, today announced a partnership with PatientKeeper, the top provider of mobile computing software for healthcare, to deliver advanced mobile solutions to clients.
PCS will extend its award winning emPOWERnet eHealth integration platform and solutions to popular Palm OS and Pocket PC devices by leveraging the PatientKeeper Platform, a widely adopted mobile infrastructure for healthcare computing. Branded as emPOWERnet:Mobile, the combined solution allows physicians to easily access the patient's electronic medical record, readily utilize clinical decision support tools, accurately record charges for medical treatments, and more - all through one handheld device while at the patient's bedside or anywhere else.
