Practice Velocity's VelociDoc® Urgent Care EMR was named a semi-finalist in Innovate Illinois 2010, a highly competitive statewide entrepreneurial and innovation competition that recognizes high-growth entrepreneurs.
Belvidere, IL, December 24, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Practice Velocity, LLC, a medical software company based in Belvidere, Ill., was recently named a semi-finalist in Innovate Illinois 2010, a highly competitive statewide entrepreneurial and innovation competition that recognizes high-growth entrepreneurs. Illinois businesses compete based on the merits of their innovations in the hopes of being named one of the most innovative companies in the state.
Practice Velocity submitted its VelociDoc® urgent care EMR (electronic medical record), the first EMR designed specifically for urgent care clinics by an urgent care physician. More than 5,500 urgent care and occupational medicine providers in 48 states currently utilize Practice Velocity’s products and services, which also include PiVoT™ Charting and Coding, PVM™ Practice Management, and PV Billing®.
Of the more than 90 Illinois companies that applied for the 2010 Innovate Illinois program, only 38 were selected to present at one of three regional semi-finals competitions.

Other companies chosen in the same competition track include Cazoodle of Champaign and Neurowave Medical Technologies and Innovative Exams, both of Chicago.

We offer the only EMR designed by an experienced urgent care physician. This allows us to provide products and services that maximize the revenues and efficiencies of urgent care centers.”
The Innovate Illinois program is administered jointly by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) and the Chicagoland Entrepreneurial Center, an affiliate of the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce. The purpose of the program is to recognize the important impact innovation has on the state’s economy and to promote companies that have taken a risk by creating new jobs.
