The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. . This partnership will allow CHD Meridian's health centers to operate more efficiently, provide better and safer patient care, improve communication through features like secure patient-provider e-mail, and pave the way to transportable personal health records.

More than 100 major employers, including many Fortune 100 corporations, have contracted with CHD Meridian to care for approximately one million employees.

"iMedica's leading-edge technology matches our view of the future of healthcare, and its ease of use and simple training will give physicians the opportunity to be more efficient when it comes to patient information and be consistently updated on their patients needs, while at the same time reducing costs."

 (CCHIT CCHIT Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology (SM)). CCHIT certification helps physicians who have been overwhelmed by the number and variety of EHR systems available. Physicians can now look to the products with the CCHIT seal as an important criterion in their decision-making process for their practices' EHR systems.

iMedica PRM helps practices manage the entire patient relationship in one system and one database. Uniting clinical and practice management data lets iMedica PRM do things that other systems can't, such as showing health maintenance reminders in the schedule and avoiding interface issues between disparate systems - just a few of the many ways iMedica PRM helps physicians streamline their practice workflow and achieve a fast ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). . Optimized for a Tablet PC, the iMedica PRM allows doctors to hold the computer like a clipboard, maintaining eye contact with the patient throughout a visit. Physicians have the flexibility to work in whatever way suits them best: type, click, talk, or even hand-write and draw. iMedica has posted the fastest time in the TEPR TEPR Toward an Electronic Patient Record Conference  Documentation Challenge - which clocks real physicians charting a Level 4 visit using different EHRs - every year it was offered since 2002. And just as important, the resulting visit note was determined to be accurate and complete.
