TORONTO, Nov. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- At the
recently held Practical Pediatrics Ontario Conference on
November 9th and
10th, Kallo (OTCQB: KALO) introduced EMCURx PEMR, an
electronic medical record system that was specially
customized for pediatric practices and work flows, and recommended
by the Pediatrics Section, Ontario Medical Association (OMA) as the
EMR of choice that Ontario Pediatricians should strongly consider
for their practices.
"Though Ontario is the largest market in Canada for EMR, pediatricians in this province
have been neglected, and forced to work with paper records or EMRs
unsuitable for pediatric use. Over the past six months, Kallo's
EMCURx-PEMR has been customized in consultation with the Pediatric
Section, OMA," says Vince Leitao,
President and COO of Kallo Inc. "Our development team has visited
numerous pediatric clinics and talked to nurses, clinic
administrators and pediatricians. In consultation with these
healthcare providers, we have created a specialty product for
specialists. We are delighted to continue to work with the
Pediatric Section, OMA and provide an innovative and better product
to our Pediatricians."
Dr. Hirotaka Yamashiro, Chair of
the Pediatrics Section, OMA, noted that most current EMR offerings
available to Ontario Pediatricians did not work well for
pediatricians' unique needs. Dr Yamashiro said, "As natural leaders
in excellent health care for children and youth, we approached many
vendors to create an EMR that spoke to the needs of pediatricians,
and were excited when Kallo stepped up to the plate and delivered
this product. We anticipate that as pediatricians adopt and use
this EMR, further improvements will be made to make this the best
pediatrician friendly EMR product ever brought to market, and look
forward to engaging Kallo's development team to reach this
goal."
There are approximately 1200 pediatricians in Ontario, and until now many were hesitant to
adopt EMR for their practices due to a lack of suitable
products.
