CompuMed, Inc. (Pink Sheets:CMPD) www.compumed.net, a telemedicine and medical informatics company, is providing its CardioGram™ electrocardiogram (ECG) remote interpretation systems and over-read services for the New York State Office of Children & Family Services (OCFS) at selected juvenile justice facilities throughout the State.

Maurizio Vecchione, CompuMed's CEO said, "We are pleased to partner with OCFS to help support its vision of cardiac screening and safety for patients. This program helps improve the health of patients while ensuring facilities recognize at-risk children who are particularly vulnerable." He added that CompuMed's services use telemedicine to bring certain pediatric cardiac care screenings with pediatric cardiologist oversight in a cost effective manner.

Eric Larsen, CompuMed's senior vice president and general manager of Telecardiology, said, "We have steadily expanded our reach in providing telecardiology services to institutional patients. Our evolution into pediatric cardiology stems from 30 years of experience in providing such services to adults. Our services can increase the quality of care through telemedicine for juvenile justice facilities." 

Michael D. Cohen, medical director for the OCFS, said, "We are always looking for new and innovative ways to provide the best possible medical services for those in our care. Bringing board-certified cardiologists into our facility using telemedicine enables us to use technology to monitor individuals who are on psychotropic medications. We believe that maintaining an effective cardiac screening program under the supervision of pediatric cardiologists is an important element in the quality of care for our patients, as well as an important risk management strategy for our facilities."
