Houston-Based PatientCentral Technologies, L.L.C. Releases DisasterSync In Concert With VerdaSee Navigator
Houston, TX - PatientCentral Technologies has just released DisasterSync, which they claim is a revolutionary disaster management system for hospitals and healthcare systems in concert with the release by VerdaSee Solutions, Inc. of the VerdaSee Navigator system for EMS first-responders. PatientCentral's creator, Al Davies, M.D., President and CEO, states these technologies have been designed to "eliminate fragmentation of information and improve efficiency and coordination between hospitals, trauma centers, EMS first-responders and the public health system: all who have traditionally worked in silos that are built vertically but don't connect well horizontally with each other."
A key feature of DisasterSync is that the course of progress of the patient from the incident site to the hospital can be monitored in real time by authorities such as local agencies and FEMA, to allow rapid response in providing personnel, equipment and supplies. Dr. Davies points out that PatientCentral's DisasterSync and VerdaSee's Navigator systems work to coordinate and synchronize emergency management efforts at the local, regional, state and even national level through a centralized server accessible to those with need-to-know authorization. When the emergency management system becomes stressed to capacity during a disaster situation, PatientCentral's high-performance tracking and tracing hardware and software, data collection, and analysis tools work to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of emergency management systems in communities affected by disasters.
Reuben Vasquez, CEO of VerdaSee Solutions, Inc. describes the VerdaSee Navigator as composed of two modules: The first module is a software link between various RFID reader devices and the database where information is captured and managed; the second module is the user interface, which allows access to information via "user-friendly" screens. "Because the data collected by VerdaSee Navigator will be stored, as each patient moves through triage, treatment and transport, the accumulated data becomes an invaluable source of information for real time medical care as well as reducing the potential for human error," says Vasquez.
Dr. Davies added that PatientCentral is also introducing MyHealthArchive(TM), a healthcare data repository which allows the general public to choose to confidentially register their health information, demographics and contact information for a nominal subscription fee as a means to make vital information available to healthcare providers in the event of terrorism or disasters.
