Background

gloStream got its start when two software developers with a gift for translating ideas into easy-to-use technology met online. They later began developing an EMR application that would become gloEMR, the company’s flagship EMR product.

In 2006, technology veteran Mike Sappington joined gloStream as CEO, and has been developing and implementing the company’s business strategies and overseeing day-to-day operations ever since. Many doctors in different specialty practices work closely with gloStream’s software research and development team to ensure the company’s products meet patient, clinical and administrative practice needs.

 

gloEMR and gloPM: the latest generation of medical software

gloStream has responded to the need for streamlined medical software by leveraging the latest technology available to create gloEMR and gloPM, our flagship products.

Our product development team studied the way doctor’s offices operate. They then applied their creativity and technical proficiency to develop applications that are easy for doctors and staff to understand. Built on the Microsoft platform, gloEMR and gloPM couple dynamic templates with advanced voice recognition technology so you can shape electronic documents to the way you practice medicine. These highly customizable applications provide single-click access to the full range of patient data. They also feature robust clinical decision-making tools and convert dictation, in real time, into precise and accurate exam notes. Full billing, scheduling and reporting modules come standard.

During a patient encounter, you can pull all patient data into an exam note directly from a clinical database—with a single click. Each exam note displays a patient’s complete history including medications, labs, orders and other vital information. With its intuitive text-editing capabilities, you can easily configure and adjust our templates and information so that each record correlates specifically to an individual patient. gloEMR and gloPM are a valuable and popular technology for medical practices because the software is easy to implement and use. The applications easily scale to handle more patients and physician partners as your practice grows. You continuously benefit with new features and functionality as gloStream works to meet the evolving requirements of doctors seeking to efficiently
and effectively deliver enhanced patient care.

 

Forward-thinking

Physicians also can help shape gloStream products by participating in the gloStream Center of Excellence program which encourages doctors to offer insight and feedback to influence the direction of EMR and PM development. Through this program, physician groups collaborate with gloStream team members to design product enhancements aimed specifically at providing their practices with tools to reach new levels of productivity and efficiency.
