01 June, 2005 – Park City, UT—CorEMR announced today agreement with Summit County Utah Sheriff’s Department for the implementation of its electronic medical records (EMR) software at the Summit County Jail in Park City, Utah.
The EMR system provided by CorEMR allows medical and corrections personnel to easily create permanent electronic medical records of all inmates at the Summit County Jail. The system is being integrated with Summit County Jail's existing jail management system to keep inmate booking and medical data synchronized.

The result is better medical service for inmates, lower cost for Summit County, and perhaps most important, protection from inmate medical litigation."
