ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Feb. 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — New
Mexico Software, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board:
NMXC), a developer of medical IT services and solutions that
enable improved and faster communication within the healthcare
community, announced today that it has signed an agreement to
provide diagnostic imaging services for the Heart
Institute of the Caribbean (HIC) in Kingston, Mandeville
and Ocho Rios in Jamaica.
HIC is now sending nuclear and other exams to the TeleRad
subsidiary of New Mexico Software. Despite the high prevalence of
cardiovascular diseases in Jamaica, there was previously no
identifiable center of excellence in this region for cardiovascular
care. HIC has filled the gap, bringing affordable, high quality
healthcare to the local environment.
The agreement between New Mexico Software and HIC represents an
innovative use of medical Internet technology to bridge the human
resource gap and enhance the provision of high quality medical care
in an underserved region.
“It has been our mission at HIC to provide affordable, high
quality, cardiovascular and general medical care in the Caribbean,”
said Dr. Ernest Madu, founder and CEO of HIC. The partnership with
Telerad now allows the average Jamaican to have access to
international experts and world-class care without geographical
limitations or additional expense. We are always looking to develop
partnerships that align or facilitate our mission to improve access
and affordability of superior healthcare locally. We are excited
about this partnership with Telerad that enables us to further
realize our vision at HIC.”
CEO Dick Govatski said, “We are delighted that Telerad services
have been selected by HIC, the premier center of excellence for
cardiovascular care in the English speaking Caribbean. Our
