"Hello to the folks at QRS!
I am writing today because your product line would be very useful in my job. I am (a) home health nurse.. and have dreamt for years about computer devices that would speed up the time consuming and expensive tasks involved in taking vital signs, lugging around the pulse oximetry machine (if one is available), then having to return it to the office (32 miles round trip), and having to record mountains of patient information again and again on every patient. We used to get rhythm strips on patients but stopped because we couldn't transmit the information to the M.D., at least not in a timely fashion. So we do everything with paper and pencil, just like nurses did 200 years ago, I suppose. So when I saw your banner in "All Things CE" I just couldn't believe it, finally somebody invented the wheel. I was ready to order every item on your menu, I could use all of them".. I (was) just waiting for the day (my CE device) could take and record vitals, oximetry readings, EKG strips, etc., and date stamp the results with the patients' I.D., this would save me at least five hours per week and who knows the value of having consistently accurate, reliable data. This translates to over $5,000 a year just in salary alone! Every home health agency in the country will be knocking on your door!"
