ALR completes enhancements

ALR Technologies has completed software enhancements on the CHC, a comprehensive healthcare management system, to facilitate containment of healthcare costs by improving efficiency and effectiveness of caregivers, reports CNN Money.

The system will be able to provide a documented audit trail for evaluation of healthcare programs. In addition, the CHC system addresses a serious deficiency in healthcare management, the absence of ongoing oversight of patients.

Adequate care is available to patients when they are in hospitals, clinics or while caregivers are at their homes, but healthcare breaks down when the patients are left alone to follow their prescribed therapies. The CHC system enables a healthcare provider to remotely monitor the patient`s compliance, thereby allowing for timely intervention.

MDI Technologies purchased the assets and business activities of its main rival Achieve Healthcare Technologies in a $34 million deal, says Canadian Press

The takeover is expected to add another $14 million to MDI`s revenue next year.

Achieve develops, markets and supports clinical and administrative software designed specifically for the elder care market in the US and serves more than 2 600 facilities.

MedcomSoft announced that Ray Harris has resigned as a director of the company, reports Canadian Newswire.

Harris`s decision was prompted by the resignation of Paul Davis last week, as Harris had originally joined the company`s board of directors as a result of his prior business relationships with Davis.

MedcomSoft said they were thankful to Harris for the valuable contribution he brought to its board in the last three years, and wish him the best of success. The remaining board members have confirmed that they continue to be fully supportive of MedcomSoft and its management.
