“Georgia's 11th Congressional District is home to some of the Nation's most innovative and leading-edge businesses. One such business has been providing emergency management services to residents in northwest Georgia. Puckett EMS is a family-owned and -operated business with a strong reputation for delivering state-of-the-art medical services to the people of Cobb and Dade Counties. Today, I am especially proud that this business has recently taken the national stage as one of the leading innovators in emergency health technology. In 2013, Puckett Emergency Management Services was recognized by the Cobb County Chamber of Commerce as the Small Business of the Year for its work to support the local community and to ensure the highest level of care. Most recently, Puckett EMS' software company, EMS Technology Solutions, received the Emergency Management Services World Magazine's Top Innovation award for its controlled substance tracking software, Operative IQ. This cutting-edge solution uses biometric technology to track controlled substances from the time the medication is administered to the very last dose. In fact, using this software is a much more secure way of monitoring prescription drug use and bringing medical records in line with today's technology. What is even more remarkable is Operative IQ uses available technology to continually update patient medical records, helping prevent substance abuse.…”
