EXHIBIT 99.1
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Monday, November 25, 2002
INTERCARE LAUNCHES ICE(TM) ON TABLET PC.
Scalable healthcare software solution that integrates every aspect of the
healthcare enterprise, designed for information tracking, error reduction,
patient safety.
Los Angeles, -November 25, 2002- InterCare.com-DX, Inc. (OTC BB: "ICCO")
announced today the availability for deployment of InterCare Clinical Explorer
(ICE ), an innovative and robust software application designed to integrate
every aspect of the healthcare enterprise on Tablet PC. With the release of the
enhanced Windows XP operating system for Tablet PC from Microsoft and the launch
of new Tablet PC hardware from such hardware manufacturers as HP, Toshiba,
ViewSonic, Acer and Fujitsu, to name a few, InterCare leverages the power of
this important new platform to make the ICE clinical applications even more
seamless and easier for healthcare providers to adapt, faster than ever before.
ICE 's extensive, scalable system flexibility allows its adaptation to clinical
workflow, operating independently in centralized and decentralized facilities.
The program features intuitive order entry, "tapering" orders, a clinical
knowledge base, digital video enhanced patient education module, real-time
electro-physiological data capture and display, voice command, voice
recognition, digital dictation module and numerous other capabilities to
complement and document the diagnostic and treatment processes, including
unlimited free-text notes.
ICE is currently available as a desktop or lap-top client application under
Microsoft Windows operating system, as well as accessible through Windows CE
powered Pocket PC devices. ICE is also available for both inpatient and
outpatient clinical documentation, thus enabling healthcare providers to be able
to create a life-time longitudinal multimedia patient clinical record.
"While the user interface has been one of the main barriers for entry into
computerization of clinical records by so many healthcare providers, the
combination of such a robust clinical application as ICE and the introduction
of Tablet PC devices make it easier for physicians and other healthcare
providers to embrace the idea of full automation of their clinical records,"
said Russ A. Lyon, president and chief technology officer of InterCare.com-DX,
Inc.
"Coalitions such as the Leapfrog Group, a healthcare consumer advocacy group
representing approximately 32 million health care consumers in all 50 states,
point to research substantiating significant reduction in errors when orders are
entered electronically instead of written down and handed to clerks. With an
estimated 98,000 deaths per year attributable to medical error, public pressure
is causing healthcare organizations to investigate how they can improve the
quality of care, including patient and medication safety, through a combination
of procedural changes and better use of information technology. In such an
environment, ICE becomes one of the best solutions to a chronic and critical
problem," said Dike, Chairman and CEO of InterCare.com-DX, Inc.
