July 11, 2003—1st Facilities, a Canadian company specializing in integrated technology solutions and Computer Aided Facilities Management (CAFM), has launched MedHITS, (Medical Historical Information Tracking System) to track and report on SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome). MedHITS, a division of 1st Facilities and the first in a series of HITS brand products, is a Web-based, real-time, multi-layered information management platform designed to warehouse vital medical information.
1st Facilities says that MedHITS will become a global enterprise strategy resource by centralizing all sources of SARS-related statistics and information made available by health officials, professionals, and organizations worldwide. Real-time online information will provide government agencies and health monitoring sources with the most transparent/accurate and current information available, crucial in making informed decisions as quickly as possible. The highest measures of security will be in place, and only registered entities will be able to manipulate/change information on the Web site, assures 1st Facilities.
MedHITS could also be implemented to track other forms of infectious diseases, or for any study of information, according to 1st Facilities, which will discuss potential strategies with the government in utilizing MedHITS in Canada.
