LAS VEGAS Las Vegas (läs vā`gəs), city (1990 pop. 258,295), seat of Clark co., S Nev.; inc. 1911. It is the largest city in Nevada and the center of one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the United States.  -- LighthouseMD, a leading provider of revenue cycle management, integrated practice management and EMR (ElectroMagnetic Radiation) The emanation of energy from everything in the universe. Although the EMR from electrical and electronic devices is typically measured for practical, every-day situations, every object, including humans, emanates energy.  solutions to medical groups, today announced a partnership with Medicomp Systems, the developer of MEDCIN[R] intelligent database of clinical documentation. This alliance will provide the company's physician practice customers with advanced electronic medical record (EMR) functionality when using the CareTracker practice management and EMR system.

Using the MEDCIN database, CareTracker's EMR system will include more than 270,000 clinical data elements covering symptoms, history, physical examination, tests, diagnoses and therapy, and will enable users to rapidly enter, retrieve, and correlate relevant clinical information at the point of care.

"This relationship represents the future of EMRs for our physician practice customers," said Russell Keene, chief executive officer, LighthouseMD. "We chose to partner with Medicomp for two reasons - connectivity and content. Not only does MEDCIN offer an amazingly fast interface when used with CareTracker, the MEDCIN database has proven to have the most comprehensive content on the market."

Planned for early 2007, the full EMR functionality of CareTracker will allow physicians to record patient data using an intuitive point-and-click system - creating a distinct medical record. CareTracker users will also be able to incorporate their own custom data sets and templates into the system.

Using the CareTracker EMR system, physicians will avoid delays due to cumbersome cum·ber·some
