Monroe, MI (PRWEB) October 22, 2005 -- Hilgraeve, Inc., a long-time leader in connecting uncooperative systems, announced recently that Clinical Pathology Associates, located in Louisville, Kentucky, has installed HyperSend PDX, the company’s Patient Data Extraction system. The software will provide Clinical Pathology Associates with a secure electronic health information exchange between their outreach clients and physician customers.

Clinical laboratories need the accurate and timely patient demographic information that HyperSend PDX provides to properly process the tests requested by physicians. Through HyperSend PDX, Clinical Pathology Associates has a reliable and secure real-time interface to their clients’ practice management systems which provides accurate up-to-the-minute patient data. This valuable software service translates into clean requisitions, reduced keying errors and increased throughout. In addition to saving time and reducing costs, Hypersend PDX can be quickly implemented and requires no training or on-site technical support.

“By installing HyperSend PDX, we can easily receive up-to-date patient data and therefore improve the quality of the laboratory services of our clients,” remarked Mabel Scherzer, Marketing and Client Service Manager for Clinical Pathology Associates. “This has given us a significant advantage in a highly competitive market.”

Hilgraeve emerged as a cutting edge company and its product, HyperSend, as a leading, secure electronic data transmission technology in part as the result of HIPAA. HyperSend PDX is a powerful extension of the company’s HyperSend technology. It securely connects uncooperative systems and is the foundation for the private healthcare information networks Hilgraeve builds and maintains.

“Physician practice management systems are the primary repository for patient data in this country. The Federal government has a 10 year goal to provide easy access to that data, which they project will reduce national healthcare costs by 10 percent,” explained Jeff Beamsley, president of Hilgraeve, Inc. “Hilgraeve is solving the key interface part of that problem for our customers today. Industry innovators like Clinical Pathology Associates have partnered with us to create their own secure healthcare information network and are enjoying the immediate benefits of reduced costs and improved service.”
