In
December 2010, Chuck Edwards, chief
technology officer of Bluemanta
Technology Group in Port St. Joe, began
working to secure a grant and to
implement a connected health strategy
for the hospital. In May 2011, the
telemedicine program took flight with
the installation of the hospital’s first
mobile telemedicine unit. The unit
allows Weems clinicians and patients to
communicate with urban resources via the
Internet. |

According to
Kimberly Needham, project manager of
Bluemanta Technology Group, patients
have little to worry about with today’s
systems. “As with anything involving the
storage or transmission of sensitive
information, there is risk; however,
when you consider the true goal of these
systems and the impact they will have
down the road, the benefit exponentially
outweighs the risk,” she said. As a
company certified in implementing
electronic health records, as well as
auditing for compliance with the Health
Information Technology for Economic and
Clinical Health (HITECH) Act and Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act (HIPAA), we take health information
security very seriously,” Needham said. |

A local technology group is in the process of implementing a new electronic health records (EHR) system in Carrabelle. The new system will modernize the hospital’s current way of keeping patient records and make transferring patient files instantaneous.
Kevin Ward serves as the systems administrator for Bluemanta Technology Group and the on-site IT support for the EHR project. Ward verified that the clinical element of the integration has not been completely established; however, the financial component is currently active and is reported to be running smoothly. |
