  • Greenville-Spartanburg-Anderson, SC (1888PressRelease) March 18, 2011 - Glytec, a world leader in glycemic management solutions, announced today that the company is partnering with Lincor Solutions to license its Glucommander Plus™ inpatient glucose management software for use on Lincor's MEDIVista Bedside Clinical Access and Patient Entertainment Systems.

    Lincor is the world's leading clinical bedside computing technology provider, with its MEDIVista platform installed at more than 20,000 beds across 16 countries throughout North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Lincor MEDIVista enables doctors and nurses to access patient records and clinical applications and to record observations in real-time.

    The Glucommander Plus™ software provides healthcare professionals with individualized insulin dosing requirements for hospitalized patients. The software includes many safety guardrails including predictive warnings and alerts, a fully-integrated and real-time reporting engine, and precision bolus dosing of meal-time insulin.

    The effects of poorly controlled blood glucose levels in hospitalized patients have long been known to cause serious complications such as an increased length of hospital stay, increased risk of infection, impaired wound healing, and increased risk of mortality.

    Glytec's Glucommander Plus™ software is available to hospitals on a fully-integrated enterprise platform, as well as an encrypted, cloud-based Internet version. The company plans to deploy the software to Lincor's MEDIVista system in the second quarter of 2011.

    "Making the Glucommander Plus™ application available on MEDIVista to our existing customers furthers Lincor's goal of providing the technology necessary to help hospitals increase economic and clinical operational benefits to the patient," said Mark Goodman, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Lincor Solutions.

    Lincor's MEDIVista solution also includes applications for improving the effectiveness of hospital processes such as catering and bed management. It offers an ideal platform for distributing and managing patient surveys, whether they are required for regulatory purposes or to support business intelligence and patient relationship management. At the same time hospitals can mitigate the cost of providing essential clinical bedside access by generating revenue from patient entertainment and other services.
