TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--iProcedures was selected from more than 500+ nominees for Florida Companies to WatchSM, a statewide program managed by economic development group GrowFL, in association with the Edward Lowe Foundation. iProcedures is among 50 statewide companies expected to see significant growth over the next several years.
iProcedures’ management team, competitive market position and strong community involvement were among several factors that put them in contention for the award.
“These stand-out companies are all led by entrepreneurs, and have demonstrated their capacity and intent to grow,” said Dr. Tom O’Neal, executive director of the Florida Economic Gardening Institute and associate vice president for the University of Central Florida’s Office of Research and Commercialization. “They also all have critical intellectual property or a niche position that gives them a competitive edge in their markets,” he said.
“We are honored to win this award, and it is a great privilege to help provide job growth and make a positive impact in the city and state that we love. We pride ourselves on being a local company with a global reach, and we hope to continue to grow our company and improve our community over the next several years,” said Raj Popuri, CEO of iProcedures.
iProcedures has revolutionized the way anesthesia is charted today. Over the last decade, the number of procedures outside of the operating room has significantly increased. As such, legacy EMRs were not equipped to handle these non-operating room anesthesia cases without significant costs, slow-downs, and gaps in data collection. In order to solve the issues facing anesthesia providers, iProcedures created the first anesthesia charting system on a mobile device.
This mobile solution offers providers a lower cost alternative but with all of the functionality desired. Plus, the data collected can be analyzed to improve patient care and practice efficiency.
Anesthesia documentation requires a solution that can handle the fast-paced, ever-changing nature of this industry. Using feedback from thousands of users, iProcedures created an easy-to-use and customizable solution to meet the needs of every anesthesia practice.
