Beyond Lucid Tech

Our MEDIVIEW™-brand software is sold to private, public, and industrial emergency response teams. It is first in the industry to incorporate online/offline GPS, telemedicine, and the ability to move mission-critical situational data from the field into the hospital and EMS HQ in real-time. MEDIVIEW’s value is predicated on a decrease in documentation expenses and increased operational efficiency in the ambulance and the ED. The software is sold to EMS agencies, but it is uniquely designed for use by ACOs. Receiving hospitals can access the prehospital data collected via MEDIVIEW™ in near-real time for free using a SaaS that requires zero hospital integration engineering. The EMS field client works both online and offline. Our team spent a year visiting EMS and Fire agencies, physicians, nurses, municipal managers, and military medical centers, learning about their pain with respect to public safety—and what they would pay to fix. The public doesn’t generally know it, but one of the largest and most persistent cost sinks in the American healthcare system is the cost of paperwork to EMS (across the range of functions including care delivery, billing, insurance, legal, quality, and training), plus waste associated with abuse of the system by “frequent flyers” and others. These preventable costs amounts to at least 1% per medic per week in overtime related to documentation—and a great deal of this expense is preventable. In 2010, the city of Mesa, Arizona reported that it spent $114,286 on 2217 hours of “duplicate data entry work.” Fire and EMS agencies across the country are closing due to tightening budgets and rising costs.
