SPRING LAKE, MI - May 2, 2006 - Sytec Health introduces the first
electronic medical record that can be viewed in every emergency room
without the need to install proprietary hardware or software. But,
this is only half of the solution.
By using a portable USB Flash drive called LifeKey, people can now
have their medical records with them at all times. LifeKey is small
and easy to carry on a keychain or neck cord. In a medical emergency
LifeKey provides critical information about a patient's medical
history, which is vital to their treatment. This discovery promises to
revolutionize the quality of care a patient receives in the ER.
According to Daniel L. West M.D., FACC of West Shore Cardiology in
Muskegon, Michigan, "An all too frequent and potentially life
threatening handicap is my inability to access critical health care
information in a timely fashion. Details I need to make decisions
within minutes can literally take days or weeks to obtain." It is
during these critical minutes that a doctor is handicapped by our
paper-based medical record system. LifeKey bridges the time gap and
provides urgent care answers during this critical time period.
45,000 to 98,000 people die each year because of drug interactions,
according to the Department of Health & Human Services. Studies have
proven that having your medical records available in the early minutes
of an emergency will dramatically improve the accuracy of the
diagnosis, reduce medial treatment costs, and improve the overall
quality of care that a patient receives.
Unlike other attempts to create portable medical records, LifeKey
doesn't require either the doctor or the patient to enter data into a
computer program. Instead, the patient's medical records are scanned
into legal electronic duplicates of the original patient paper record.
Using a patent pending technology, LifeKey then presents the records
to a doctor as an electronic medical chart.
Although the idea of electronic medical records is high on the Bush
administration's agenda, physicians have been resistant to change
because of the significant learning curve required to master a
complicated new computer application. LifeKey overcomes this problem
by presenting electronic records that have the look and feel of the
familiar paper record.
LifeKey is offered as a subscription service. Neither the patient nor
the doctor has to do any work other than send photocopies of the
records to Sytec Health. Sytec Health, the parent company for LifeKey,
does all the document input and maintains and updates the patient's
records. LifeKey is available for 7 and can be purchased at
http://www.mylifekey.com.
