PatientKeeper Introduces 8 New Products and Unveils the Industry's First "Physician Information System" at HIMSS 2006
Leading Software Vendor Will Also Receive a 2006 MS-HUG Award at Conference
BOSTON, Mass. - February 13, 2006 - PatientKeeper®, the leading developer of software for physicians, today announced it will unveil the industry's first Physician Information System at HIMSS 2006 (Booth #1218). Only PatientKeeper can support a physician's entire day - across different care settings, multiple organizations, and disparate information systems. PatientKeeper's broad product portfolio allows physicians to access their patients' electronic records, write prescriptions, enter charges for services, document patient encounters, place orders, and securely send messages to other caregivers - all in a single integrated environment.
