Advisory Board Meeting at ASBS

Below is a press release talking about our upcoming events at ASBS... we're looking forward to a successful show...

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – June 5, 2007 – RemedyMD®, leading provider of bariatric surgery-specific electronic health record products, announced that its fifth annual Bariatric Advisory Board meeting is scheduled for the morning of June 13th directly prior to the American Society of Bariatric Surgery (ASBS) annual conference at the Marriott Marina Hotel in San Diego. Advisory board members will discuss industry trends, best practices, product enhancements, and their practice-specific experiences with RemedyMD's bariatric products and services.

RemedyMD's EHR platform enables physicians and their staff to streamline practice workflow, document patient visits, record, report, and improve on health outcomes, receive clinical decision support, and facilitate better patient involvement in their own healthcare. BariEHR is specifically outfitted for bariatric surgeons by providing full documentation and management of initial visits, surgeries, and follow up care. BariEHR also enables full reporting for any certification or credentialing program, including but not limited to the Surgical Review Corporation's Centers of Excellence program, and insurance company-specific Centers of Excellence and Distinction programs.

As with all RemedyMD solutions, BariEHR includes myHealthManager™, RemedyMD's web-based weight-loss management solution for patients. myHealthManager is a comprehensive patient health and wellness management system that facilitates patient registration, nutrition, weigh-ins, exercise journaling and goal-setting. myHealthManager displays surgeon-created reminders and secure messages directly to patients. Patients can access online educational resources and participate in an active weight-loss community. Statistics show that patients who utilize myHealthManager are more likely to stay on track with their weight-loss programs, maintain long-term contact with the practice, and ultimately lose more weight.

“We meet with top accredited bariatric surgeons each year to gather feedback and implement it into BariEHR,” said Emily Bonham, RemedyMD's Director of EHR Products and Bariatric Advisory Board Chair. “The surgeons' input is crucial to our product development strategy, and helps us continue to provide bariatric surgeons and their patients with the most advanced bariatric electronic health records software on the market today.”

In addition to the BariEHR Advisory Board meeting, RemedyMD will be exhibiting at the ASBS conference in San Diego June 13-15, 2007, Booth #623. For more information, please visit www.BariEHR.com/.
