American Society of Hypertension Partners with iMedicor

(Jan 15, 2008)-- Vemics, provider of hosted, real-time learning and productivity solutions, announced a partnership with the American Society of Hypertension (ASH) for the use of Vemics’ iMedicor - a unique patient information-sharing portal for physician collaboration - and NuScribe’s advanced medical voice recognition software to help grow a National Hypertension and Cardiovascular Risk Factor Registry. The Registry -- developed and implemented by the ASH Carolinas, Florida and Georgia Chapters -- is intended to assist ASH Designated Specialists in Clinical Hypertension and other health care providers in improving the care of patients with hypertension and associated disorders. IMedicor will give these physicians -- with and without electronic medical record systems -- the ability to participate electronically in the program. Patient outcomes data will be captured in iMedicor and then deposited into the Hypertension Initiative’s primary database for analysis.

“Hypertension and its related cardiovascular diseases are a critical area of medicine,” said Tom Dorsett, President of Healthcare Solutions for Vemics. “We are very proud to be working with the American Society of Hypertension whose members are among the most knowledgeable experts in this area.”

“The American Society of Hypertension was created to encourage the advancement and exchange of scientific information in the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension in all of its forms,” said Torry Mark Sansone, the Executive Director of ASH. “Now, it is more important than ever to train more health care providers regarding current treatment strategies to improve the care of patients with hypertension and associated disorders. The new partnership with Vemics will enable ASH Designated Specialists in Clinical Hypertension, ASH members, and other investigators to conduct research and improve patient care using an important new physician education tool constructed with our partners.”

iMedicor is a HIPAA compliant, collaborative online portal designed for and by medical professionals to facilitate the secure exchange of medical records, educational content and ideas in real-time. The portal can also help doctors tap corresponding services from other professionals in the medical industry.
