The KBCore "Purple Button" App is now available on iOS 7 and Android devices, phones and tablets and will be demonstrated at HIMSS. The Purple Button App comes loaded on MioCare and Motorola MC40 devices.
Jeff Renton, CEO of Salutopia said "we are pleased to announce this alliance with CRG Medical. Their patient safety and quality management system creates an enhanced value added proposition for Salutopia clients.

Renton went on to say, "If you are at HIMSS please stop by our booth for a real time demonstration or call us for a private demonstration."
In 2014, to comply with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), every US hospital with 50 beds or more, will require a Patient Safety Evaluation System (PSES) to participate in the Healthcare Insurance Exchange. Mobile technology, such as the Purple Button application from CRG Medical, will support seamless, active safety event reporting safely engaging clinicians at the point of care while protecting PSES data by harnessing the latest encryption systems. At the Salutopia booth, Douglas will review the benefits of Purple Button technology in engaging physicians in the process of providing accurate and timely information on patient safety events.
