Velos Showcases New Electronic Reporting System at UNOS 14th Annual Transplant Management Forum
Fremont, CA — April 21, 2006 — Velos, Inc., an innovative
provider of clinical research and specialty medical software, today
announced that it will showcase the new Velos Data Exchange System
(“VDE”), which may be used in conjunction with the UNetSM Reporting System, at the UNOS Transplant
Management Forum in San Francisco, April 24-26. Scheduled for full
release later this year, the Velos VDE System is integrated with
Velos Transplant and is also compatible with the Velos Interface
Engine, a software toolset used to create data feeds between
different information systems.
The Velos Interface Engine
currently interfaces with approximately 50 different third party
medical record systems, laboratory systems, and medical devices. The
Velos Interface Engine together with the VDE provides a high
quality, cost-effective solution for both supporting the
UNetSM Reporting process and
leveraging the extensive outcomes data created in the
process.
Velos has been among the larger suppliers of
information systems that support medical registries such as those
maintained by the American College of Cardiology and the Society of
Thoracic Surgeons. Applying similar technology, the new Velos VDE
System supports the entire UNOS reporting process by enabling the
capture of the majority of the UNetSM
data directly from the medical record system(s) at a Transplant
Center or hospital. Exception Reports detail missing data and
provide an easy means to capture and validate complete
Tiedi®-compliant form data. Such data are then exported
electronically to UNetSM . The VDE System then imports follow-up
forms and related data from UNetSM
.
“The Velos VDE System is designed to be used with the
UNetSM Reporting System and will
provide substantial added value for current Velos Transplant
customers as well as other transplant centers interested in
improving the process of gathering data for UNOS reporting,” notes
John McIlwain, President of Velos. “In conjunction with Velos
Transplant, the new module also further enriches customer
capabilities in outcomes reporting and analysis.”
The total
return on investment is expected to exceed 200% in a five-year
analysis as compared to the largely manual capabilities in place at
most Transplant Centers. To see the Velos Data Exchange System in
action, please visit Velos at Booth # 26.
