New! PEPID Launches Infobutton
At the HIMSS13 conference, PEPID introduced its new Infobutton
technology that works with any hospital EHR system or patient portal and eliminates systems interoperability issues – so all members of the
healthcare team can get instant access to clinical and patient information, labs, and drug references – at the touch of a button. Many of the
attendees who visited our booth were unaware that Infobutton technology is a requirement for Meaningful Use Stage 2 certification.
With the PEPID Infobutton, all PEPID content is accessible with one click, including patient education, drug information, clinical and
disease reference and more. And, the Infobutton is Health Level Seven (HL7) compliant. HL7 is the standard required for the exchange of electronic
health information between medical applications in the healthcare industry. The Infobutton manager is able to work with any systems back-end coding
such as ICD-9, SNOMED, etc., and returns context-specific information in a user-friendly format for patients, physicians, nurses and pharmacists based
on their inquiry.

All the information in PEPID for Patients is available via the Infobutton to instantly

Meaningful Use 2 objectives. All information in PEPID for Patients is HL7 (Health Level Seven) compliant.
