IMCORP, Inc. announced installation of a Wireless Data Communications Network for Southern Orthopedic Specialists (SOS), a multi-office medical practice in Atlanta, Georgia.

The Imcorp network is the final piece of a new EMR (electronic medical records) system that includes tablet PCs and a web-based Medical Practice Management SaaS solution.

The project anticipates HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) compliance, providing three levels of health data security for five practice locations in the Atlanta area. The SOS EMR system is improving the accuracy of transcriptions while reducing the administrative burden of managing paper forms.

The secure wireless network installed by IMCORP, Inc. is completely transparent to practice personnel. Doctors and staff carry wireless mobile Tablet PCs that function just like their old desktops, except information is exchanged on the spot.

"Going wireless gave us more flexibility, eliminating the need for hardwired PCs in every room, not to mention having to design a patient-friendly work area to accommodate them," said SOS Network Administrator Howard Hirth.
