JetForm, Newbridge, Oracle and PARJplus
Introduce Integrated Patient Healthcare
Information System
Web Ready Application Allows Patient Records To Be Securely Accessed and Viewed By
Multiple Healthcare Providers In New Era of Healthcare Delivery
OTTAWA, Life Sciences National Conference, Nov. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- JetForm Corporation (Nasdaq: FORMF, TSE:
JFM.), the global leader in enterprise workflow and electronic forms solutions, today unveiled the Integrated Clinical
Information System (ICIS) in partnership with Newbridge Networks, Oracle Corporation [Nasdaq:ORCL - news] and
PARJplus Software Corporation.
The ICIS application, developed by the partners in direct response to the challenges of healthcare re-structuring in Ontario,
is currently being used and evaluated by the Ottawa Hospital -- Civic Campus' new Women's Breast Health Centre.
The community-based private sector partners have developed a PC-based ''thin client'' for the Ottawa Community Health
Information Partnership (OCHIP). OCHIP is a consortium of healthcare providers and organizations.
The solution allows patient records and diagnostic information including paper forms, X-rays, ultrasounds and
electrocardiograms to be stored, accessed and securely viewed by healthcare providers across multiple sites, allowing for
improved diagnosis and treatment paradigms and administrative cost savings.
ICIS has brought together JetForm's electronic forms technology with Newbridge's network products and systems, Oracle's
information management and PARJplus' data repository software. Newbridge Networks is providing the leading edge,
multi-services platform that enables the delivery of ICIS and other next-generation services and applications. This powerful
asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) solution is comprised of the industry-leading Siemens/Newbridge MainStreetXpress™
MultiServices Switch and the MainStreetXpress 36150 Access Switch.
''The changing face of Canadian healthcare, including increased home care, outpatient clinics, and tele-medicine facilities,
are making it imperative that we change and improve the way patient record information is stored and shared,'' said John
Kelly, President and Chief Executive Officer of JetForm Corporation. ''We're proud and excited to be part of a team that is
using technology to improve service to patients while reducing program costs.''
''The benefits of this approach to the electronic health record are immediately apparent because it allows rapid development
and deployment of clinical applications using proven tools and technologies,'' said Dr. Christopher Skinner of the Ottawa
Hospital. ''The Women's Breast Health Centre is an example in point where the use of electronic forms, combined with
proven database repository and network solutions has put this system into operation in minimum time.''
''Newbridge Networks is proud to be part of an initiative that will move healthcare into the 21st century and offering a
solution that will benefit all Canadians,'' said Terence Matthews, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Newbridge
Networks. ''We are delighted to be working with these innovative champions and look forward to a long-term relationship
that will continue to yield substantial benefits for the healthcare sector.''
