GI Motility Newsletter Issue No. 1
Greetings!

Welcome to MMS USA's first GI newsletter! We are looking forward to keeping you informed with helpful information you can use in your practice.
 
In a time of health care reform, and with the urgency to improve the efficiency of healthcare communication, technological advancement is essential to reduce the cost of providing healthcare services. MMS is prepared with the best possible solution for your GI Motility Lab.
 
Our Solar GI networking option provides necessary technological advancements for the transition from hardcopy records to Electronic Medical Records (EMR).
  
We at MMS appreciate your interest.

Connecting the GI Motility Lab to EMR Systems
 
With the government's healthcare reform pushing healthcare technology forward, Electronic Medical Systems are becoming much more essential.
 
Hardcopy medical files are not only behind the times, but are also a less efficient way for medical facilities to work.
 
Computerized Medical Devices are productive, until patient information needs to be safely transferred. Patient information cannot be crossed with other databases. Computers also have a risk of crashing and losing important information as well. 
 
MMS's Solar GI uses the HL/7 protocol to import patient records from the Hospital Information Systems (HIS), and then exports the study report back to the EMR system:
  • Patient information is imported from the HIS to the Solar GI system.
  • Following the motility study, the report is generated by the physician and/or RN.
  • After final review, the study is transferred electronically in PDF format into the EMR.
  • The Solar GI is a fully integrated system, with the ability to transfer patient test results from the MMS database to the HIS using the HL/7 protocol.
A full report with images and analysis is available almost immediately.
MMS's networking technology gives you:
  • The capability to conveniently and safely transfer patient records to and from the Solar GI Motility system into the hospital/clinic network.
  • The ability to export studies and reports in PDF format to a specific network location for access to the patient's records.
  • A safe storage system for medical information by using the hospital/clinic backup services.
  • Easier access and transfer options for all users of the GI Motility study report. Physician and nurses can read studies on their own computer as long as they have access to the hospital/clinic network.

In their own words...
 
One of MMS's 200 plus worldwide Solar GI networking customers says:
 

"I don't have to worry about all the paper, the patient is seen, and the test is stored on a network drive, which also ensures a second backup of our documents. It works wonderful and has been very helpful for our physicians here."
 
"Basically, a patient can have a test in our office and within the amount of time it takes to read the results, it can be available to the referring physician who also has access to the same EMR system anywhere in the Country."

The Solar GI High Resolution Manometry  (HRM) is a new approach of measuring pressures in the esophageal body and presentation of the results.
 
This method consists of measuring multiple pressures simultaneously.
 
This allows detailed assessment of all relevant data for the whole esophagus.
 
Besides the conventional displays, rapid data interpretation via Clouse contour plots can be established.

 Customer Perspective
 
"MMS high resolution manometry catheters are very stable and patient intubation is very easy.
 
The analysis software is easy and efficient to use, and it takes less than 5 minutes to generate a manometry study report. 
 
The software also makes it easy to organize patient data and upload onto an EMR system, which has made our workflow in the motility laboratory more efficient."
