RENO, NV, Apr 13, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
VisualMED Clinical Solutions Corp. (The "Company") (PINKSHEETS:
VMCS) (FRANKFURT: VA6) announces it has entered into a partnership
with the Maryland Center, Bowie State University, Intelaform and
Verizon, as announced by the Maryland Center at Bowie State on
Wednesday.
The recently formed partnership brings together leaders in healthcare
information technology and communications and network solutions that
will co-develop a national research center that will apply the latest
technologies in managing health information to enhance national
capabilities to respond to domestic threats including natural
disasters, pandemics and manmade catastrophes.
This multi-disciplinary public/private partnership between Maryland
Center, Bowie State, VisualMED Clinical Solutions Corp., Intelaform,
Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc. will create the National
Emergency Preparedness and Response (NEPR) Research Center, a
national network that will respond to recommendations from public and
private leaders and develop surveillance and response capabilities to
emerging threats on a national level.
The NEPR Research Center, to be housed by the Maryland Center on the
campus of Bowie State University, will assist federal, state and
private sector leaders in developing protocols and methodology to
enhance the ongoing efforts in preparing and responding to national
emergencies. The center will offer deployable systems developed by
the joint capabilities of the private partners.
"This is the right time and the right place for this kind of
project," stated Mickey L. Burnim, president of BSU. "With the
creation of the NEPR Research Center, we are taking a significant
step towards our vision of creating innovative public/private
economic development partnerships that are beneficial to BSU, the
state of Maryland, and our great nation."
"The NEPR Research Center has the potential to revolutionize
emergency preparedness efforts, by creating unprecedented and uniform
access to medical technology and information. For the first time,
local, state, and federal agencies will have real-time access to
essential, life-saving data in a highly integrated and usable form to
prepare for and respond to national emergencies," said J. Randall
Hoggle, PD, Chairman of the Board of Intelaform, Inc.
"We are excited about the NEPR Research Center initiative and look
forward to a long-term partnership that will produce pioneering
milestones in the emergency preparedness community," said Terry
Lawlah, executive director of the Maryland Center at Bowie State
University. "The Maryland Center will optimize our partner's ability
to provide sustainable, scalable and stable capabilities in a
collaborative and synergistic relationship."
"We wholeheartedly believe this partnership will prove to be one of
