Agi Lurtz, president of OnlineMedsource, accepted a 2007 Innovator of the Year Award during a dinner presentation in Tulsa earlier this month. The Journal Record honors those who set themselves apart with products and services that change the marketplace and make Oklahoma a better place.

Lee Symocox, president of First Fidelity Bank made the presentation to Lurtz.

To be eligible for the award, a company must be nominated and submit information describing their innovation and the advances to be realized from its use. A panel of entrepreneurs and established business owners make the selections.

OnlineMedsource provides Web-based medical history and record services that are more efficient and facilitate more complete communication between the patient and physician.

According to Lurtz, members include a number of physicians and practices in very diverse disciplines including family practice, orthopedic surgery and rehabilitation, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatricians and other medical practices.

“The interconnectivity of our system makes future application opportunities almost limitless,” Lurtz said.  “Anyone with responsibility for knowing the health status for individuals in their care can use our service. Day care centers, drug and alcohol treatment facilities and schools immediately come to mind.”

OnlineMedsource is headquartered in the Emerging Technology Entrepreneurial Center, and incubator operated by The Norman Economic Development Coalition. The Innovator of the year Award is on display there.
