Gateway Adds Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Software to Its Healthcare Portfolio

(June 21, 2007)--Simplifying the purchase and implementation of technology for healthcare professionals, Gateway is now making it easier than ever for hospitals and medical offices to outfit their facilities with computing solutions that increase efficiencies and enhance patient care.

Beginning immediately, MedicWare Electronic Medical Record software can be purchased with several Gateway PCs that are ideally suited for the healthcare market -- the thin and light Gateway(R) E-155C convertible notebook, the all-in-one Gateway Profile 6 desktop, and the scalable, space-saving Gateway E-2610N desktop.

MedicWare EMR software provides secure on-the-go access to patient information and eliminates costly documentation errors, enabling physicians and their staff to focus on their patients instead of paperwork.

Gateway's 4.5 pound, 1.17-inch thin convertible notebook featuring both a keyboard and touch screen display is ideal for healthcare professionals, as are its small form factor desktops that minimize clutter. The combination of these small compact designs with powerful technologies makes them ideal for reception desks, administrative offices and nurses' stations.

"Healthcare providers are quickly embracing IT technology, realizing it can deliver a demonstrable benefit to their bottom line while also helping to improve patient services," said John Costello, Gateway vice president of segment marketing. "PC hardware and medical software have become just as important as stethoscopes and blood pressure monitors. Implemented the right way, their impact on office efficiency and staff productivity can be immeasurable, especially when it allows physicians to spend more quality time with patients."

Electronic Medical Record Software Enhances Patient Care

MedicWare EMR centralizes patient medical records and streamlines the diagnosis and treatment processes, improving overall office efficiencies. The centralization of patient information helps eliminate errors such as misread prescriptions or missed drug allergies, and provides doctors with easy access to patient records while they are out of the office.

Physicians and staff personnel can efficiently and cost-effectively manage appointments, insurance plan information, office visits and examinations, medical histories, lab results, medications and prescriptions.

Interfacing with most practice management and reference laboratory systems, MedicWare is fully CMS and HIPAA compliant, helping medical practices stay current and compliant with industry standards and regulations.
