PR Newswire (US)
MONTREAL, May 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LMS Medical Systems Inc.
(AMEX:LMZ; TSX:LMZ), a healthcare technology company and developer
of the CALM(TM) clinical information system and risk management
software tools for obstetrics, today announced that Dr. Emily
Hamilton, Vice-President of Medical Research and Founder of LMS,
will be presenting at the 9th Annual Congress of the National
Patient Safety Foundation on May 4, 2007, in Washington, D.C.
Professionals from across the USA will be gathering for the
conference where this year's focus will be "Learning from the Past,
Creating the Future". Dr. Hamilton will be speaking about
opportunities to improve perinatal safety through technologies that
support the prevention of errors and injuries in obstetrics.
Stakeholders in the healthcare arena have recognized the urgency of
improving the quality of care. In obstetrics, injuries to newborns,
although infrequent, have been devastating to all involved. While
providers, insurers and vendors share a vision for increased
patient safety, it is time to support organizations at the
forefront of the movement that have strategies and products that
can deliver a positive impact. Safer care is the underlying
principle behind LMS' software offerings which provide risk
prevention and reduction solutions for obstetrics with tools such
as CALM Curve(TM), Patterns(TM) and Shoulder Screen(TM). These
tools are being increasingly recognized by clinicians and insurers
such as Endurance Specialty Holdings of Bermuda, a global provider
of insurance and reinsurance with US$7 billion in assets and some
five hundred employees in Bermuda, the United States and United
Kingdom, who has included LMS within their comprehensive Risk
Mitigation Recognition Program that translates into credits on
premiums. Bringing all members of the healthcare value chain
together to provide safe, effective care for all patients is an
objective within the industry's reach and LMS is committed to
making an impact in its area of endeavor. ABOUT LMS LMS is a leader
in the application of advanced mathematical modeling and neural
networks for medical use. The LMS CALM(TM) Decision Support Suite
provides physicians, nursing staff, risk managers and hospital
administrators with clinical information systems and risk
management tools designed to improve outcomes and patient care for
mothers and their infants during labor and delivery. Except for
