CompuMed nets extended ECG contracts with state correctional depts.

CompuMed, a healthcare informatics company, has extended its contracts with the state correctional departments in Iowa and Wyoming to continue providing electrocardiogram (ECG) remote interpretation systems and services.

Under the terms of the Iowa Department of Corrections agreement, the Los Angeles-based CompuMed said it will provide remote cardiac screening as needed for more than 8,700 detainees at the department’s nine main correctional facilities.

The contract extension with the Wyoming Department of Corrections is through Prison Health Services, for which CompuMed said it will continue to serve as a value-added partner providing remote cardiac screening for detainees at Wyoming correctional facilities.
