Cleveland, OH (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) October 26, 2004 -- OB Everywhere, Inc.
announced today that The Cleveland Clinic Health System Western Region has
expanded its use of the portable data assistant (PDA) and web based OB Secure™ antepartum electronic medical records system for
obstetrics from OB Everywhere, Inc. to its Fairview Hospital’s Obstetrics and
Gynecology Department.
Designated by the Ohio Department of Health as a
Level III Perinatal Center, Fairview Hospital is one of the few facilities in
the area staffed and equipped to handle even the most challenging situations,
specializing in caring for the highest risk mothers, and infants with the most
severe complications. Fairview Hospital has a trusted reputation for
cutting-edge technology, doctors with expertise in the latest procedures and
health care operations, and a support staff with a depth of training and
experience.
OB Secure’s™ unique patent pending technology permits
obstetrics health care professionals to always securely access their patient
data both in and away from the office, even when no Internet service is
available. Iris Finks, Certified Medical Office Manager, office manager of the
Westown Midwives practice, an existing user of the system in The Cleveland
Clinic Health System Western Region, says: “The OB Secure™ system has permitted
us to more effectively keep track of our patients both at the office and more
importantly when we receive calls outside of the office. This is a great
solution to helping us improve the quality of health care, and we are very
pleased with the system.”
OB Secure™ provides integrated support of the
same data across web browsers, tablet computers and PDA devices such as the low
cost Palm Pilot. The ability to carry thousands of patient records securely on
portable PDAs in a mobile environment adds significant additional value for
health care professionals. Dr. S. Jules Moodley M.D., Chairman of Fairview
Hospital’s Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology says: “This important tool
permits our health care professionals to render more informed decisions for our
team, especially when dealing with on-call situations away from Internet
connections. The Cleveland Clinic Health System Western Region is always very
interested in applying trusted technology to improve the care we give our
patients.”

highly cost-effective, portable PDA, tablet computer and web based secure
electronic medical records obstetrics information for health care professionals.
