Strong Market Response and Channel Partner Interest Validates Advantages of Hosted Solution
RALEIGH, N.C. (November 14, 2007) – Misys Healthcare Systems (FTSE: MSY.L), a market leader in healthcare IT, today announced initial commitments for its Misys MyWay™ solution introduced on October 25. On the first day, a new group of channel partners immediately signed up to carry the offering and made advanced bookings for 100 user subscriptions to address early physician adopters.
The Misys MyWay product delivers a simple, affordable, and complete way for physicians in smaller practices to capitalize on the benefits of EMR (electronic medical records), practice management, and claims management applications. Initially available as a hosted offering that allows medical practices to use the software application as a service, a Misys MyWay solution addresses three of the problems physicians cite most often as reasons for delaying EMR implementation: initial costs, IT complexity and usability.
During the premier showing of Misys MyWay capabilities at the recent Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) show in Philadelphia, Pa., hundreds of physicians and practice administrators participated in demonstrations of the innovative product. They learned about the benefits offered by this integrated solution and witnessed some of the advantages EMR adoption can bring to their practices, including improved clinical efficiency and enhanced patient care.
“The excitement and rapid adoption generated by the release of Misys MyWay is a direct result of our decision to focus attention on our physician customer base,” said R. L. (Vern) Davenport, executive vice president and general manager of Misys Healthcare. “We knew a hosted Misys MyWay solution was going to resonate with the physician community, and the initial feedback and orders we’ve received are exciting confirmation that we’re hitting the mark.”
As part of its early success, the company signed up its four initial Misys MyWay channel partners: etransmedia technology, Inc. in New York, North East Medical Solutions (NEMS) in Pennsylvania, Improve Group in New Mexico and Independent Physician Services (IPS) in Pennsylvania. Misys Healthcare will make additional channel partner announcements soon.
“Misys has been at the forefront of developing cutting-edge solutions for physicians,” said Vik Agrawal of etransmedia technology, Inc. “Becoming a channel partner for Misys was an easy decision. The combination of features and affordability makes Misys MyWay an unbeatable product for our target audience of small and solo physician practices.”
“The availability of Misys MyWay puts an end to the long debate on the costs and complexities associated with adopting an EMR,” said James Kennedy of the Improve Group. “Because of the simple and intuitive nature of the product, and its ability to work the way our doctors do, we chose to move ahead with Misys MyWay and became one of the first purchasers of the solution.”
The integrated applications and delivery as a hosted service offering help make a Misys MyWay solution complete and affordable for small medical practices. However, the innovative performance attributes of the product showcase how Misys MyWay is created to work the way you do:
- offline synchronization keeps users productive without a network connection
- adaptive learning patterns workflows to unique user preferences
- intelligent navigation guides users to next logical entry options
- template-free charting adds free-flow efficiency to clinical tasks
- easy customization allows screens and content to be personalized
