In order to provide users with seamless text input and workflow control in a mobile environment, a division of Evernote® Corporation, Ritescript®, and ESO Solutions, Inc. announced today that the two companies have entered into a licensing agreement in which Ritescript's ritePen® 3.0 handwriting recognition and intelligent desktop navigation software will be integrated with ESO Solutions' ESO Pro™ ePCR Suite.

ESO Solutions provides medic-friendly, cost-effective electronic patient care reporting (ePCR) software and billing services for EMS and Fire organizations nationwide. Helping emergency medical responders capture necessary patient data during emergency visits via pen-based notebook computers, the ESO Pro ePCR Suite is an intuitive, NEMSIS Gold application. The application also includes a robust quality management module, interface capabilities, extensive ad hoc reporting functionality, validation and tracking tools, and more.

President and CEO of ESO Solutions, John Dadey, stated: "Our customers demand enhanced input options on mobile devices that support complex and critical workflow during emergency situations." He continued: "Full integration of ritePen with our application, including customization for specific medical data types and workflow control, will significantly boost recognition accuracy and the productivity of emergency response teams using the ESO Pro ePCR Suite."

Using ESO Pro Mobile on rugged pen-based notebooks in the field allows emergency responders to quickly capture patient vitals, cardiac arrest treatments, medications, electronic signatures, and other critical call data. Delivering easy text entry and medical terminology recognition as well as workflow control via handwritten shortcuts, ritePen 3.0 further enhances their ability to perform mission critical work.

Battalion chief for the City of Carrollton Fire Department, Billy Craft, declared: "I have tested the ritePen software with various other applications, and I believe that this is certainly a positive move for ESO." He added: "Embedding this technology into the ePCR program is an excellent way to increase functionality of the software by providing an additional method for users to enter data."
