Pensacola, FL -- Cogon Systems, Inc. has been awarded a
Research, Development, Test and Evaluation contract by the U.S.
Army's Telemedicine & Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC)
to develop advanced clinical decision support tools for hand
held computer use.
The primary goal of the project is to determine if using mobile
technology in an inpatient setting to deliver clinical decision
support through rapid retrieval of clinical data, intelligently
filtered clinical knowledge, and appropriately generated alerts
and reminders, will positively impact patient care while
concurrently achieving physician's acceptance, efficiency and
education. The project will rely upon technology provided by
Cogon Systems Mobile MOMENT OF CARE(R) software application.
Cogon's product leverages data already residing within a
hospital's inpatient information system thus preserving existing
infrastructure investments and will serve as the foundation to
which advanced clinical decision support modules will be
appended. The project's overarching objective is applicable to
all Medical Treatment Facility or Combat Support Hospitals. |

The project's
beta site will be DeWitt Army Community Hospital located at Fort
Belvoir, VA and will run for a period of fifteen months.
DeWitt's Family Practice Residency is the second oldest family
practice residency in the Army and it is planned that a number
of residents in training will participate in the demonstration
phase.
TATRC is a subordinate element of the United States Army
Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) and is charged with
managing core Research Development Test and Evaluation (RDT&E)
and congressionally mandated projects in telemedicine and
advanced medical technologies.
