CompuMed, Inc. (Pink Sheets:CMPD),
www.compumed.net, a
telemedicine and
medical informatics company, has secured contract
extensions to provide its signature CardioGram™
electrocardiogram (ECG) remote interpretation
system and over-read services for the Oklahoma Department of
Corrections (OKDOC) and Arizona Department of Corrections (ADC) at
selected facilities throughout both states. The OKDOC rents 22
CardioGram systems, and the ADC now owns 59 CardioGram systems
after buying 14 more in June, 2011. CompuMed also signed a
multi-year contract to provide services to Wexford Health Sources
at its Illinois correctional locations.
Maurizio Vecchione, CompuMed's CEO, said, "Correctional facility
budgets are shrinking as are other state services. CompuMed has
demonstrated its commitment to helping correctional facilities
nationwide reduce costs and increase the quality of care by using
telemedicine. Our remote cardiac screening enables facilities to
access specialists in cardiology without costly patient transfers
or in-house staff."
He added that CompuMed's customers can immediately engage one of
CompuMed's on-call cardiologists to over read the computerized ECG
interpretation. These over-reads are delivered to attending
physicians at the point-of-care, providing expert interpretations
when data is ambiguous or difficult to interpret.
CompuMed customers are typically correctional facilities,
ambulatory surgery centers, occupational health clinics, research
facilities and physician offices. New markets being targeted are
athletic screenings for school sports and juvenile justice
facilities.
