iMedicor, a Vemics company, has unveiled a new technology system that helps to communicate, collaborate and exchange medical records in a secure HIPAA compliant environment.

iMedicor’s technology claims to provide physicians, healthcare providers and patients with the capability to transport medical records without any risk of being intercepted or altered.

The portal is expected to provide physicians with a social and professional referral network and access to medical education programmes. It helps patients to locate physicians for treatment and e-consults. Once a patient/physician relationship is confirmed within iMedicor, a secure sub-network is created for safe, private information exchange.

The company said that it employs a proprietary driver for the exportation of documents and images from any EHR system. It also facilitates the exchange of Continuity of Care Record (CCR) files between users.

Fred Zolla, chief executive officer of Vemics, said: “iMedicor’s technology facilitates the transfer of medical records and images between disparate Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems in real time, and provides the critical first step in allowing the healthcare community to communicate electronically through secure messaging specifically designed to compliment clinical workflow.”

Vemics’ iMedicor portal also claims to deliver the continuing medical education programme sponsored by medical societies, pharmaceutical companies, medical device companies and the US Military.
