Weston, Fla. (November 24, 2008) –

gMed, an electronic medical records (EMR) software
company, unveils gGastro(TM), a gastroenterology-specific EMR that makes use and
implementation easier, reduces staff training time and adds several critical features.
This new system, a complete overhaul of gMed’s gCare, features significant enhancements that
represent a breakthrough in ease of use and functionality.
“gGastro represents a major milestone in our goal to empower and streamline the GI practice,”
said Joe Rubinsztain, M.D., CEO of gMed. “Our clients’ input has been invaluable in the
development of this advanced application. We are confident that the effort put into this release
will prove to be worthy by the GI community.”
gGastro New Features
With client input guiding the way, gGastro incorporates GI practice-specific forms including
Hepatitis C, Remicade Infusion, Dyspepsia, Esophageal Cysts and many others. Patient
questionnaires feature gastro-related history, symptoms and medications, along with practicespecific
physical exam and review systems. Additional gGastro highlights include:
o E-prescribing – Streamlines the prescription refill request and authorization process and
improves patient safety and overall quality of care.
o Patient Portal – Empowers patients by enabling them to view their records, make
requests, schedule appointments and update information via the Internet.
o Nursing Notes – Designed for fast and accurate pre-procedure, intra-procedure and
post-procedure nursing documentation to fully eliminate paper in the ASC or hospital unit.
o Scanning Module – Streamlines acquisition of patient medical history and allows staff to
input comprehensive patient history within 45 seconds.
With all the new benefits of gGastro, one thing that has not changed is gMed’s industry-leading
commitment to personalized service. gMed demands its solutions be kept simple, specialized and
flexible to help drive a quick return on investment for practices.
“Physicians are in a dynamic, rapidly changing environment that demands paperless systems, but
generic solutions often fall short and do not provide a solution for a more efficient practice,”
Rubinsztain said. “That’s why we are committed to providing a safer, easier, more cost-effective
way for specialty practices to work.”
