CLINICARE Achieves CMS v3.0 Certification in Ontario

CALGARY, October 27, 2009 – CLINICARE Corporation, Canada’s leading provider of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and Practice Management Applications (PMA), is pleased to announce that it has passed conformance testing requirements set forth by OntarioMD and is “CMS Specification 3.0 Certified” as of August 2009 for local installs to physicians in Ontario.  Eligible physicians who purchase CLINICARE may receive funding under the Physician IT Program.
 
A Clinical Management System (CMS) is a software application that combines the clinical and administrative aspects of practice management into an integrated electronic record. The CMS encompasses and manages many aspects of practice management and patient care - from appointment scheduling and billing to clinical encounter notes, medications, test results and a cumulative patient profile. Standards for CMS solutions have been developed through the Physician IT Program to ensure that the solutions adopted by physicians meet or exceed specific functionality and performance standards.[1]

According to Karim Kanji, President of CLINICARE, “Our continued commitment to the EMR market is reflected in the investments we have made in Ontario and other Provinces.  We are excited to be CMS 3.0 compliant and look forward to expanding upon our very successful client base in the Province moving forward”

CLINICARE has already established itself as a national leader in providing electronic health solutions based around its EMR software, interface development, and is at the forefront of electronic prescription deployment.  CLINICARE will be working with OntarioMD on an ongoing basis to provide the functionality needed to participate in initiatives that may be considered in the future such as MOHLTC General Requirements (additional Chronic Disease Management Programs, Allied Health Professional Access and Reporting, Family Health Team Program delivery evaluations, E-Prescribing etc.), eHealth System Interfaces (OMD Hospital Report and other standardized Interfaces, Disease Registries, Drug Information Systems, Public Health Reporting Systems, Standardized Reporting Interfaces) and Client Registration for Family Practitioners as well as for Specialists.
