VitalHealth Software, the leading supplier for integrated care network disease management products, has released a new product called "Vital for COPD-Asthma".  This product is the first web-based solution for managing COPD-Asthma in integrated care networks, based on standard care guidelines.

Release of Vital for COPD-Asthma
Developed in close cooperation with leading lung specialists and Diagnosis4Health (VitalHealth Software's implementation partner), Vital for COPD-Asthma is our second disease management solution for integrated care networks. The product was launched on November 8, 2007, during the CAHAG convention in Utrecht (Netherlands). Vital for COPD-Asthma adheres to published, standard guidelines, such as NHG, Gold Guidelines and GINA. The product is based on the same architecture as Vital for Diabetes, our first disease management solution launched in May of 2007. With the release of the new product, an important step has been made towards multi-chronic disease management in integrated care networks.

Rich functionality
The feature set of Vital for COPD-Asthma is primarily focused on the treatment process itself. It includes several questionnaires, such as diagnostic, functional and as well as children with Asthma. It also captures spirometry test results and offers extensive risk-analysis features. Vital for COPD-Astma supports multiple roles and disciplines within an integrated care network, including family practice caregivers, lung specialists, physiotherapists and dieticians. The solution will be rolled out to 10 practices in the next few weeks.
