01 May, 2005 – Springville, UT—CorEMR announced today that they have implemented their Electronic Medical Records (EMR) software system at the Utah County Jail in Springville, Utah.
The EMR system provided by CorEMR allows medical and corrections personnel to easily create permanent electronic medical records of all inmates at the 700 bed Utah County Jail. The system is integrated with Utah County Jail’s existing jail management system to keep inmate booking and medical data synchronized.
Utah County Jail medical personnel worked closely with CorEMR on developing and customizing the program to exactly meet their needs. According to Sally Randall, Nurse Director at Utah County Jail, the system is a big success. "The system capabilities have been tailored to meet our medical department needs. It saves us much time in scheduling and managing the medical treatment process. We are better organized and better aware of the medical needs in our jail."
Lane McCotter, president of CorEMR, highlights the partnership approach between the software company and the jail. "We appreciate the professional approach of the Utah County Jail management and medical staff in working with us to make this the right solution. We believe the result is better medical service for inmates, lower cost to Utah County, and perhaps most important, protection from inmate medical litigation."
The system is installed at the Utah County Jail in Springville, and includes capabilities for creating appointments, keeping patient notes, monitoring medications, and retrieving patient history and information.

The management team has more than 25 years experience in correctional facility management, as well as extensive experience in software development and solutions management.
