DMClinic is the latest in a series of clinical support disease management applications that includes CoagClinic and CholesterolClinic.

"We're delighted to have had the chance of being involved with the development of DMClinic for the past several years," said Mark W. Wurster, MD FACP, Standing Stone's Chief Medical Officer and Clinical Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine at Ohio State University. He concluded, "Initial experience with this application has shown significant improvements in patient quality of

care metrics, while simultaneously improving the fiscal efficiency of end-users. We hope that this application proves to be as successful as CoagClinic and CholesterolClinic in terms of improving the delivery of health care." The full-featured software combines point-of-service testing for HgbA1C and glucose with computerized decision support, providing a web-based, customizable approach to both therapy management and documentation.

DMClinic features several innovations including detailed checklists on Health Maintenance Activities, tracking of multiple diabetes medications, comprehensive patient and clinic reports and a patient education section all combined with Standing Stone's "one screen" approach which helps speed data input and clinic efficiency. Installing DMClinic's HL7 interface enables automatic synchronization of data throughout the organization.

"Our customers have been asking for a diabetes management tool for several years and we are pleased to be able to offer a world class product that is an excellent adjunct to our anticoagulation and cholesterol management products," said Albert J. Bartosic, President of Standing Stone. He continued, "DMClinic is a unique and improved system to track and manage a health care professional's diabetic population."
