In "Lansing Based NuWave On Cutting Edge of Digital Medical Record Conversion," the online magazine Capital Gains turned to Chad Paalman and NuWave Medical Solutions for perspective on electronic health records.
"Most hospitals and large medical systems have already gone to electronic record keeping out of sheer necessity. But the small medical practices have not made the switch because the task seems too daunting and too expensive," writes Gretchen Cochran, Innovation & Jobs editor for Capital Gains in the June 10 edition.
"But with the Obama administration’s stimulus package offering a $44,000 carrot to practices making the switch by 2011, interest is high in making the shift and NuWave is ready."
Citing Paalman, the article notes that NuWave Medical recently converted a Lansing medical practice (to EHR). The project consisted of installing new computers, a new network and a new Cisco telephone system, using the capabilities of its sister company, NuWave Technology. Finally, NuWave Med added the digital practice and electronic medical records components."
