"We're happy to be working with MercuryMD to provide MData to the MEDITECH marketplace," said Joel Berman, President of Iatric Systems. "We've been hearing loud and clear for some time that MEDITECH hospitals want patient results on hand-held devices for physicians. MercuryMD already had an outstanding track record accomplishing that goal in the best-of-breed marketplace. Now we can offer the same advancement and solution to our customers in the MEDITECH marketplace." Merle West Medical Center, a 176-bed hospital in Klamath Falls, Oregon Klamath Falls, is a city in Klamath County, Oregon, United States.

Cape Girardeau (pronounced /ˈkʰeɪp dʒəˈɹɑɹdoʊ/) (French: , will be the first two MEDITECH sites implementing the MData(TM) Enterprise System. Recently, Merle West implemented a point-of-care electronic nursing solution that decreased nurses' documentation time and increased their efficiency by using computer-assisted documentation. Unfortunately, physicians still preferred the paper charts, limiting the advancements being made at the nursing stations. Merle West needed a compelling reason for the physicians to prefer the electronic chart to the paper chart. They found it with MercuryMD's and Iatric Systems' MEDITECH-specific solution. "MercuryMD allows us to port our electronic MEDITECH documentation - including labs, x-ray, medications, transcription reports, nursing documentation - to a format that many physicians are accustomed to using - their hand-held device," commented David Chabner, Director of Information Systems for Merle West Medical Center. "Physicians and other clinical staff will be able to carry all this information to the patient's bedside, for their own patients as well as their consultant patients. This is a vast improvement over our present computer-based model. Most importantly Adv. 1. most importantly - above and beyond all other consideration; "above all, you must be independent" above all, most especially , MData's hand-held interface is intuitive and requires little to no training, with a record of tremendous user adoption."

"Based on other hospitals' experiences with MData, we expect that MercuryMD's solution will meet these immediate needs as well as increase physician and staff productivity, save clinicians time, and allow critical data to be available at the bedside to guide key patient care decisions." Iatric Systems developed software that converts patient data within MEDITECH systems into Health Level Seven (HL7) data streams. This conversion to HL7 is crucial to MercuryMD's ability to deliver patient data to clinicians' hand-held devices. HL7 has gained significant industry acceptance demonstrated by the National Committee on Vital and Health Statistics' (NCVHS NCVHS National Committee on Vital and Health Statistics ) recent recommendation that HL7 be recognized as the current core message format standard for the electronic exchange of patients' medical records. MercuryMD and Iatric Systems will begin offering the MData(TM) Enterprise System for MEDITECH customers at the International MUSE conference in May.
