Posted by Alexander Minevich Press Contact: Lexrotech Corporation Releases LxPediatric™, First PDA Assessment Tool for Pediatric Occupational and Physical Therapists “As an occupational therapist, I researched automated alternatives to the manual procedures involved with testing my patients and preparing reports,” said Alexander Minevich, Chief Scientific Officer at Lexrotech Corporation. “After exploring my options extensively and finding there were no offerings available, it was clear a definite need existed to simplify assessment processes and reports.” LxPediatric installs directly onto a Pocket PC PDA, providing a portable instrument that guides therapists through a non-standardized assessment for their pediatric patients. This mobile capability eliminates the need for handwritten notes and reports, while ensuring that all phases of testing are performed. “PDA’s are a standard accessory for helping streamline information for people on the go,” said Robert Berger, president of Lexrotech. “Applying a touch screen based application to the health sciences seems a natural step. Now therapists who travel to schools, clinics, hospitals or around their private offices, have a productivity tool that’s easy to use and carry around.” Once a patient evaluation is complete, users can generate a comprehensive assessment summary with personalized comments and conclusions. In addition, a Medicaid compliant Treatment Plan for physicians to sign is automatically generated with each report. The software’s architecture was optimized to guide users through patient testing procedures quickly and efficiently. Drop-down and click boxes within the program are simple to use, comprehensive and intuitive. Additionally, previous reports are accessible to users as needed. A stop watch function is included, eliminating the need to carry around an extra instrument. With LxPediatric, users can: LxPediatric elevates the professionalism of therapists’ reports, while saving them administrative time and ensuring that they perform all necessary testing for their patients. Lexrotech surveyed numerous pediatric OTs and PTs across the industry to develop a comprehensive guided assessment that includes 14 key areas: history and background information, developmental milestones, balance, range of motion and manual muscle testing, mobility, proximal trunk stability, "Because I primarily see home-based clients, it’s more convenient to use my hand-held during patient assessments," said Jan McElroy, PT, MS, PCS. "LxPediatric not only eliminates about 90 percent of my assessment reporting process per patient, it provides quite a comfort level with confidentiality. My PDA device is password-protected so my patients’ personal information is secure as I travel to and from appointments." LxPediatric is designed to work on all Pocket PC (Windows Mobile) devices and has been tested and approved on a number of PDAs. Users also have the option to run the software directly on a desktop computer. About Lexrotech For further information, visit www.lexrotech.com or call 1-647-722-5297. Link: http://www.lexrotech.com
