Nightingale announces the limited commercial release of Nightingale Version 10 (v10) to its US clients
MARKHAM, ON, March 23, 2015 /CNW/ - Nightingale Informatix Corporation ("Nightingale" or the "Company") (TSX-V: NGH), a cloud-based provider of electronic health record (EHR) software and related services, today announced a limited commercial release of Nightingale Version 10 (v10) for the purpose of migrating its US client base currently using its Medrium practice management product.
"The commercial release of Nightingale v10 is another substantial milestone for our valued Customers and the Company" said Sam Chebib, President and CEO of Nightingale. "This release is targeted to migrate our Medrium client base and will be generally available to other US physicians and Revenue Cycle Management businesses to automate the business management components of their practices. Our next generation product, v10, builds on Nightingale's 12 years of experience and is based upon a state of the art technology platform. Well in advance of the October 1, 2015 deadline for the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 codes, Nightingale v10 Practice Management has completed end-to-end testing with US payers including dual coding (ICD-9 and ICD-10). v10 provides robust functionality through a clean, intuitive interface providing improved productivity, efficiency and effectiveness to users."
Over the past several months, Nightingale v10 has been piloted and demonstrated to existing clients and the migration of several hundred users to our next generation product has commenced.
"We continue to believe that the North American EMR market is crowded with legacy products and that Nightingale v10 has clear differentiators that will separate it from first and second generation products in the market today" added Chebib. "Over the past 30 months we have proactively invested over $15 million to design and build Nightingale v10 with input from our customers and the market at large. The feedback from both current and prospective users is extremely positive and very encouraging."
Nightingale is also planning the next release of v10 in the summer of 2015. This will be available to all Canadian and US clients including its 20,000 valued users who manage 18 million patient records on its current platforms. The Company is also confident those who have not yet selected an EMR and those who are looking for a third generation EMR will find considerable value in Nightingale v10.
