KEW GARDENS, N.Y., Dec. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- SynaMed, a leader in the electronic medical record and practice management software industry, was recently awarded 1st Place in the 2004 TETHIC Awards (http://www.tethic.com/) for "Most Innovative Technology to Improve Administrative Efficiency." TETHIC, The Emerging Technologies and Healthcare Innovations Congress, is an independent organization that showcases innovative healthcare information technologies. Its purpose is to provide medical professionals and healthcare technology leaders with a forum to learn about the future of technology and innovation in healthcare.
"There is an imminent need for physicians to adopt information technology. By computerizing health records, we can avoid dangerous medical mistakes, reduce costs and improve care," said President Bush in his 2004 State of the Union address, signaling the high priority that Federal officials currently place on the widespread implementation of electronic medical records (EMR). The healthcare industry has lagged far behind other industries in the adoption of information technology. TETHIC and SynaMed hope to help ease the burdens of this critical transition.
