AdapCS Canada Corp. and DINMAR collaborate to help reduce patient wait times


Jan. 27, 2006

For immediate release

KINGSTON -- AdapCS Canada Corp., a Kingston-based healthcare informatics company, and DINMAR, a leading North American healthcare information technology company have entered into a partnership that will integrate AdapCS's Axcess.Rx wait-list management application with DINMAR's electronic health record system, Oacis | ehr.

The partnership should improve the ability of healthcare organizations across Canada to better manage wait lists and report wait times of patients scheduled for surgery, says Dr. John Marshall, CEO of AdapCS and former chief of staff at Kingston General Hospital.

“DINMAR is a world-class company and we're thrilled to be partnering with them," he says. “Wait lists and resource allocation are certainly among the most vexing challenges for countries with single-payer healthcare systems.”

Axcess.Rx, was developed under the direction of Dr. Marshall, a longtime neurosurgeon, John Lott, Director of Information Analysis and Distribution for KGH, and Jonathan Bennet, a systems programmer analyst at KGH, under a grant from the Ontario Hospital Association’s Change Foundation.

The software suite enables physicians and hospitals to effectively manage patients waiting for services and to allocate resources appropriately. PARTEQ Innovations, the technology transfer agent of Kingston General Hospital, has filed for patent protection on the waiting list technology and has licensed exclusive rights for commercialization to AdapCS Canada.

Axcess.Rx is currently in use in two Canadian provinces. Kingston General Hospital and Hotel Dieu hospitals in Kingston, Lennox and Addington County General Hospital in Napanee, and the Hospitals of the Capital District Health Authority in Nova Scotia use Axcess.Rx, which connects with existing Admissions Discharge and Transfer (ADT), scheduling, and Electronic Health Record systems.

DINMAR is an ideal partner because of its expertise in coordinated electronic health record management, Dr. Marshall says. Its Oacis | ehr suite of applications amplifies the power of hospitals’ disparate electronic health care records. Organizations can quickly and economically connect their unique and ever-changing information systems with Oacis; moreover, where diverse clinical systems coexist, Oacis provides a "unifying" clinical data repository that enables a single, integrated electronic patient record.

"While Oacis | ehr interoperates with any system, we are particularly
excited about this venture with AdapCS because wait times place an enormous
collective strain on the cost and quality of care in Canada," said Mark Groper, CEO of DINMAR. "We believe the combination of our two products, along with
DINMAR's consulting and implementation services, will produce a particularly
effective tool for reducing patient wait times."
