Edge Health, a start-up based in Richmond, British Columbia recently signed a multi-million dollar deal with AllScripts to embed the company's electronic health record (EHR) into its suite of software applications. Macnewsworld just found out the two companies are working on another mobile app: Remote Practice Management. Here's the background on EdgeHealth.

Founded in the summer 2007, Edge Health, which has about 10 employees, currently offers five applications:

EdgeDR: Enables digital radiography for the iPhone. An app for dentists looking to view dental X-rays on-the-go.
EdgeMD -- An app aimed at small-to-large clinics with multiple providers. Helps with billing, scheduling, demographics and 2-D and 3-D digital radiography.
EdgeDMS -- Just like EdgeMD but intended for use in dental offices.
Clinical ChartBook -- Lets doctors and dentists take any form, chart or image and mark it up with a digital pen.
EdgeEHR -- An electronic health record.

Edge Health is working on another iPhone app, which will leverage its recent partnership with AllScripts: EdgeRPM. 

"It's one of the slickest mobile phone apps you'll ever see," Edge Health CEO Spracklin said. "It's a remote practice management tool for the iPhone that allows physicians to tap into their office networks. We just showed it to the Apple folks, and it should be available some time in March." 

We'll let you know when it launches.
