According to CEO Duane Boise, "Air ambulance services need a service such as the “EMED ALERT” Personal Health Record System to have accurate medical information and maintain medical records for patients in times of an emergency. Offering “EMED ALERT” makes it easier for doctors, flight nurses and paramedics to have up-to-date health information that is accessible in a moment's notice via a secure Emergency Portal and readily available to our 24/7 communications center."
Bipin Thomas, CTO of design and development for EMED, said, "The importance of rapid response to critically ill or injured patients cannot be overstated. Those who follow these critical emergencies know the value of the EMED ALERT to emergency preparedness and we have made this a cornerstone of our health IT products and services.
The Jamaica Civil Service Association (JCSA), large resort hotel groups such as “THE TRYALL CLUB” http://www.tryallclub.com, Vinci Construction Company, and distribution and manufacturing companies have joined with EMED which enables us to serve a targeted group of customers and employees with a product that can both help save lives and accelerate the recovery process."
EMED ALERT makes it easy for patients to import medical records from all their doctors and maintain other important documents, such as insurance policies and immunization records, in one secure location. Built on proprietary, patented technologies, every EMED ALERT account includes a personal "EMED Lifeline" telephone number that can be used by all of one's doctors and healthcare providers to fax in medical records, which are then automatically viewable in the user's password-protected online account. The EMEDLifeline users can also upload and download documents and medical images directly from their computer to their EMED ALERT record.
