Diagnostic Solution for Correctional Healthcare
Through our Enterprise Telemedicine Solution for Corrections, CompuMed has been able to address the unique aspects of providing healthcare to the correctional environment. In doing so, the largest prisons and jails in the U.S. have used CompuMed solutions to reduce costs without sacrificing patient care.
CompuMed provides a turnkey solution that includes:
- EMR Compatibility
CompuMed supports every major industry standard interface technology, including HL7 and API, enabling our clients to transmit and receive information instantly. Using your existing user directory systems, we can provide Single-Sign-On to our online services, making user management seamless. This gives you the choice to either connect our services directly into your EMR and devices or utilize our systems instead.
- Mobile Exam Services
CompuMed’s network of certified technicians and sonographers can go directly to jails and prisons to administer all major types of cardiology and radiology exams, including X-Ray, Ultrasound, ECG, Chest CT, and Echo studies. Our business model addresses the challenges associated with information technology security because we take care of the process associated with transmitting exams to and from our specialists.
- Medical Devices
We rent, lease, and sell medical devices, such as ECG and ultrasound equipment, if your institution prefers to administer exams. Alternatively, our technicians and sonographers can provide the equipment as a standard part of our service. Our equipment is telemedicine enabled and is provided by industry leaders, such as GE Healthcare.

CompuMed’s network of Board-Certified specialists provide cardiology and radiology exam interpretations with turn-around times that include 1-hour STATs, 30-minute STATs, and Critical Care Consults. Our physicians are also able to provide consultations by phone and video.
