NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA (December 28, 2009) –

Mitochon Systems Inc., a provider of free EMR systems and connectivity solutions for physicians, was granted “approved partner” status by the Orange County Medical Association (OCMA). Mitochon Systems, one of just a handful of low cost emr (electronic medical records) providers, is one of the country’s fastest growing EMR/EHR providers.

While the main goal of its partnership with the OCMA is largely centered on helping member physicians meet meaningful EMR usage criteria, Mitochon is also looking past CCHIT requirements toward more lofty goals. Beyond basic meaningful use, Mitochon is working toward the formation of a seamless connection between individual physician’s offices, enabling efficient communication and sharing of patient records, both of which should help physicians deliver better outcomes.

“The Orange County Medical Association is a great partner for Mitochon Systems. We look forward to helping OCMA member physicians acquire, implement and adopt EMR into their practices to meet meaningful use CCHIT criteria set forth by the federal government, as well as to achieve greater efficiency and better work flow.” said Dr. Andre Vovan, a Hoag Hospital medical staff member and Mitochon President and CEO.

The Orange County Medical Association is a non-profit voluntary organization, is designed to promote the science and art of medicine, the protection of public health, and the betterment of the medical profession. As one of the largest medical societies in the United States, OCMA keeps a close eye on changes in health care, serving a “watchdog” role on local, state, and national legislation as it affects medicine. Today, health care consumers are bombarded with varying ideas about health care, bioethics, health planning, emergency services and reimbursement policies. OCMA has established committees to study these and other current health care concerns.
