                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 14, 2016

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Skywriter MD for receiving the Innovative Technology Award from the 
Jefferson County Economic Development Corporation.
   The Innovative Technology Award is given to a company that is on the 
forefront of new and advanced technologies including the industries of 
aerospace, aviation, bioscience, energy, outdoor recreation and 
apparel, among others. As a startup, Skywriter specializes in 
electronic medical record (EMR) technology and provides a much-needed 
service for providers that have lost EMR documentation. The company 
developed a software tool that offers real-time communication and 
connectivity with virtual scribes, who serve as an extension of a 
physician's arm throughout the patient visit. Skywriter helps providers 
navigate the EMR, enter data and execute other tasks as directed. The 
user interface supports direct and indirect interaction throughout the 
patient visit, while non-intrusive presence of Skywriters enables a 
more personable patient-physician encounter.
   Skywriter recently expanded its operations by adding a second 
location in Westminster's Westmoor Technology Park. The company leased 
16,000 square feet and brought 120 jobs to Jefferson County. The 
company predicts to grow to 600 employees in the next three years.
   I extend my deepest congratulations to Skywriter for this well-
deserved recognition by Jefferson County EDC. Thank you for your 
contributions to the Jefferson County economy and community.
