FORT WAYNE, Ind. (January 25, 2008) – PearlDiver Technologies Inc., the virtual, electronic, integrated medical information and data, analytics and consulting system, announced today that the Company has introduced a powerful new information and data tool for orthopedic surgeons and other healthcare professionals. Using insurance payor data, PearlDiver has created a monumental, 116 million patient record database which is fully HIPAA-compliant yet allows surgeons and other healthcare professionals to search actual patient records to obtain charging, diagnostic and procedure outcome data.
For the first time, healthcare professionals will be able to use standard billing codes (ICD-9 diagnostic or procedure codes as well as CPT codes) to obtain key insights into their patient care decisions. Patient records are available from 2004 to 2007 and are sortable by gender, age and for every known orthopedic diagnosis or procedure.
The tool, which is available as a computer desktop widget, is available for download at the PearlDiver website; www.pearldiverinc.com. The widget is available at no charge to surgeons and other professionals who register with PearlDiver.
Mr. Benjamin B. Young, president of PearlDiver Technologies, and Mr. Robin R. Young, chief executive officer of PearlDiver, are available to demonstrate the capabilities of the new system. All inquiries can be directed to ben@pearldiverinc.com or robin@ryortho.com.
