LA County Completes Development of Visual CMR

The Acute Communicable Disease Control Unit of LA County's Department of Health Services has recently completed development of the next generation of software for communicable disease tracking. Working closely with Atlas Development Corporation of Woodland Hills, CA., the Department of Health Services successfully completed an overhaul of its legacy character-based system in less than a year.

Visual CMR incorporates the functionality of the old system along with several enhancements that take full advantage of current telecommunications and software technology. An intuitive, Windows-based user interface is designed to ensure ease of use and speedy adoption by DHS's staff of investigators.

Advanced features include the upcoming deployment of a specialized version of Atlas's Advanced Results Notification and On-line Delivery system (ARNOLD). Once ARNOLD is installed, the County can immediately disseminate outbreak alerts and other critical information to the DHS's staff at any time of the day or night using e-mail, pager, cellular phone or other wireless device.
