Product Description
Acesis Point-of-Care software frees healthcare providers from the tyranny of paperwork through simple, efficient clinical data capture. Quality of care is improved through customizable forms that dynamically update based on prior responses, helping physicians focus on appropriate lines of inquiry. Sophisticated analysis and interoperability are enabled by standardized medical vocabularies, which provide structure to the physician’s clinical observations. Acesis Point-of-Care is the doctor’s ultimate replacement solution for pen and paper.
Market Opportunity
IDC estimates that the U.S. market for ambulatory electronic health records was $1.27 billion in 2006 and will grow to $4.77 billion by 2015 (15.8% compound annual growth rate [CAGR]). According to multiple sources, clinical software for hospitals is an additional $5 billion market growing at 15% CAGR.
DEMO Says
The medical profession is besieged with forms, regulations and administrative overhead, all at the cost of patient care. By designing a patient management system with doctors and putting their needs at the center, Acesis strives to ease that burden and improve the quality of patient care. The company’s model for a template exchange further benefits patients by enabling professional knowledge sharing. In early trials, Acesis has proven to be the right prescription for busy medical practices.

Thank you for your comments. The Acesis team created the new document approach through close collaboration with practicing clinicians. Acesis Point-of-Care comes with a set of base templates, but since healthcare is local, these templates may be adapted to meet the individual needs of practices. The template authoring tool enables the creation of custom templates by medical professionals and its ease of use removes the dependency on traditional professional services engagements. A professional services organization could make the changes on behalf of the busy practice, but more importantly, the authoring tool would make this type of engagement quite efficient. We’d be happy to discuss further, so send us a note at info@acesis.com.

I currently consult in EMR software and I can see by the demo, that technologists always seem to think they know how to build a better mousetrap, the reality is while Im fundementally in tune with platform they are building this on, (AIR, Flex, RIA) the sad reality is that a busy practice will not build their own templates, and would like to have professional services give them what they want. The piece mail approach will not work. The trick is to give them enough so the forgo the mighty pen. Id love to have the chance to discuss shop with Acesis, I currently work for the Iphone of EMR's

Thanks! This is Jason Marsh with Acesis. As the product designer, I'm obsessive about ease-of-use, and glad to see that it made sense to you. You can see clearer screenshots at www.acesis.com.
