Doctor Eleks is an advanced medical information system that automates all aspects of patient management and is used in small-scale doctor’s offices, mid-sized clinics and large hospitals.  The system eliminates paperwork, so physicians can concentrate more on patient care and less on entering and storing data manually as has been done in the past. 

The Doctor Eleks system integrates innovative technologies to create highly customizable physician examination templates covering almost all specialties including family practice, cardiology, gastroenterology, urology, obstetrics and gynecology, dermatology and many others.  The system integrates with a variety of electronic medical devices that support the “Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine” (DICOM) standard.  Additionally, the built-in “Picture Archiving and Communication System” (PACS) module manages the storage and processing of video and graphic images captured by a wide range of diagnostic equipment, such as ultrasound, colposcopes, endoscopes and CAT scanners.  And lastly, the system is designed to collaborate securely with systems located in external laboratories and other healthcare institutions leveraging “Health Level 7” (HL7), the international standard for the exchange and sharing of vital electronic medical records.
