Company Background
     Maritime Medical Systems was started in 1992 by a group of 6 Emergency Medicine specialists with cruise medicine experience. The company's first full departmental contract was with Regency Cruises, and we ran the medical department for that line until it's demise.
      In 1995 the company reorganized. Maritime Medical Systems specialized in medical personnel and staffing and a new company, Maritime Health Systems, was formed. MHS took over all the operations and consulting aspects of the business. The two companies worked closely together.
     In 1996 the company signed on Commodore Cruise line and began operating its medical department. Consulting contracts with Renaissance Cruises followed in 1997 and we designed the ship infirmaries for the R One and R Two newbuilds.
     In early 1998 MHS started up the Health Center on the new M/S Disney Magic for Disney Cruise Lines and embarked on a project to develop a computerized medical records system for cruise line medical departments.. The first version of this system, CruiseDoc, was put into operation in 1999. In 2002 a new company was formed to further develop the cruise line medical information management system. The system was rewritten and expanded. In December 2002 MHS released version 2 of CruiseDoc.
