TORONTO, Ontario, September 23, 2005 - Xenos Group, Inc. (TSX: XNS), the Data to e- Content Company™, today announced it will showcase its integration solutions at the 2005 Atlantic Health Information Systems (AHIS) Conference, September 28-30, 2005 at the White Point Beach Resort in Liverpool, Nova Scotia. The company will introduce solutions for expediting records and patient information securely over the Internet and across disparate applications to leverage critical information throughout hospitals and across healthcare enterprises.
A significant number of hospitals have no electronic medical record (EMR) and 80 percent of these organizations are using a mix of electronic information systems alongside a combination of computerized and paper-based patient records. The disparate systems, numerous databases, paper files and conflicting formats make patient information retrieval expensive and ineffective.
"Most healthcare organizations know how difficult life becomes when information systems don't work together," said Scott Marnoch, director of global business development for healthcare solutions at Xenos. "Now, they are finding that there is a significant cost associated with it. Recent estimates indicate that standardized healthcare information exchange among systems could save the industry as much as $86.8 billion every year. Xenos e-Health Solutions provide the healthcare industry with cost-efficient, integrated and secure management and delivery of life-critical information."
