Solidgold,
Very easy to deal with and we were with them at the National users group.
If you read the PR it states, secure remote access to patient notes for Doctors to "view" on the go and to book appointments. It does not state that the access is fully functional to allow updates and clinical consultation or submitting and recording data to the patient notes. There is the difference as MedifyRemote allows update, viewing and recording as if you were in the surgery, not just viewing.
Now if as stated in the PR 90 per cent would want access to view patient notes, how many would want access to view and up load to patient notes??????
This is extremely good news for us as it proves the market, proves the need via a third party and our product is better functionally and delivers more to the Doctors in my opinion. Also it does not state that the access to patient notes is accredited, nor approved through the National spine which I believe it is not. Hence the reason using this system you cannot update records during consultation remotely, you may only view. Thus this is just a dummy terminal or screen, not an functional extension of the EMIS system as MedifyRemote.
Thus in my opinion not a national solution which is the holy grail which is where MedifyRemote is headed.
This is absolute proof of Medify and also please note, we are delivering to the NHS as a whole not as a stand alone extension to a surgery system.
