Touch Medix® Integrates
PEPID™ – Touch Medix, a leading

software product line.
Woodland Hills, California,
October 1, 2007 - Touch Medix, LLC,

software product line and
PEPID, LLC,
products. Touch ED is an emergency department information system (EDIS) that provides
the ability to efficiently and easily create and manage patient charts. Touch ED

documentation for nursing, physicians and other healthcare roles.

previous records, in other words, “clone” records forward.
Touch ED gives emergency departments the ability to create and generate reports
immediately and easily, an absolutely crucial feature in an ED system. The adaptability
of the system allows multimedia to be added to charts including but not limited
to pictures, EKGs and insurance cards. Touch ED also integrates into existing hospital
enterprise systems.
