Retrieve Medical Holdings Inc. announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Retrieve Medical Inc. has signed a Letter of Intent with two Louisiana hospitals. Retrieve plans to immediately begin the implementation phase of their patented software solution, Retrieve Dx??. Retrieve is proud to announce an agreement with a Louisiana Health System.

As Retrieve continues to grow, they are adding another community health system to their list of clients. This new installation will introduce Retrieve's physician documentation tool at a health system with over 150 beds and over 44,000 annual Emergency Department visits. The driver for hospital reimbursement in America is Case Mix Index (CMI).

One of the most effective ways to impact the CMI is to improve the documentation of comorbidities on those patients being admitted into the hospital. Retrieve's primary use is to bring pertinent comorbidities to the attention of the treating clinician for validation and inclusion into the medical record with their appropriate documentation. At the new installation, Retrieve will become a part of each clinician's toolbelt by making comorbidity identification easy and intuitive.

Retrieve will deliver more precise diagnoses that will take the clinician less time to create complete patient documentation. As a result, the company expects to see CMI improve (therefore, reimbursement), quality scores to go up, query rates to plummet and time to document the records to drop.
