eHealth Global Technologies Introduces a New Service to Migrate Film and Paper Records into Digital Data

ORLANDO, FL, February 24, 2008 - eHealth Global Technologies announced today at the annual meeting of the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) a new service for migrating film or paper into a digital format. eHealthLoader TM is designed to assist facilities with the transfer of patient images and/or medical records from an analog format or legacy IT solution into an electronic information management system, such as PACS, EMRs or other clinical information systems (CIS). eHealth Global Technologies is located in booth #4446 at the HIMSS conference.

Through the use of industry standards, such as DICOM and HL7, along with the latest digitizing technology, eHealthLoaderTM provides a solution for facilities seeking to capture historical paper or film-based medical records electronically. The service also interfaces with a healthcare facility's existing IT systems and uploads the data for immediate use by clinicians. Additionally, the service can provide a "digital bridge" to migrate data from one digital system to another.

"All too often, healthcare facilities increase their operating costs by maintaining two systems - a legacy analog system and a digital IS solution," said Michael Margiotta, Chief Executive Officer, eHealth Global Technologies. "Patient information must be accessible and available to clinicians to ensure the highest quality of care at a reasonable cost. eHealthLoaderTM is the answer for facilities seeking to turn patient information into clinical knowledge at the point of care and beyond."

eHealth Global, through its professional services group, provides custom interfaces and can expedite emergency requests. All digitized information is sent to a facility's internal systems over a virtual private network (VPN), ensuring patient privacy and the security of data.
