CINCINNATTI, OH - LanVision Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: LANV) today announced that it has teamed up with Iron Mountain Incorporated (NYSE: IRM) to offer an affordable Electronic Medical Records (EMR) solution that collects the many various forms of healthcare information and stores it electronically without the expense of converting entire paper medical record backfiles.

The Electronic Medical Record is retrieved and processed quickly and efficiently by a secured user anytime, anywhere while remaining compliant with the HIPAA privacy requirements.
