RALEIGH, N.C. – Misys Healthcare Systems, a market leader in healthcare IT, today announced tremendous market momentum in the adoption of Misys EMR® at top practices nationwide, with over 65 contracts since Misys EMR 8.0 became available in May of this year. Leading-edge organizations like Wake Heart Associates of North Carolina have turned to Misys to meet their electronic medical record needs.

“Nationwide demand for Misys EMR continues to increase,” said Rob Kill, president of the Physician Systems business unit at Misys Healthcare Systems. “Misys’ product leadership, clear vision for practice automation, and dedication to customer service are all driving factors for this growth. We are committed to giving providers of all sizes powerful tools to enhance patient safety, increase productivity and operate their businesses at the highest level.”

Healthcare organizations choose Misys EMR because of its physician-friendly workflow, application speed and ease of use, as well as industry-leading features such as e-Prescribing and specialty-specific templates. In addition, direct access to patients’ medical information generated outside the practice provides doctors and clinicians with a complete view of a patient’s medical history, achieving true interoperability across the entire health care continuum. Real-time access to patient information gives clinicians and doctors the needed tools to make timely, critical decisions.

In addition, Misys recently was awarded the AC Group’s highest overall Five-Star rating in its extensive evaluation of electronic health record (EHR) and electronic medical record (EMR) applications. The AC Group is a healthcare technology advisory and research firm, whose technology functionality report is based on 48 months of research and focuses on six critical components: product functionality, end-user satisfaction, company financial viability, client base, technology and cost.

With a deep understanding of the unique needs of medical practices combined with a deployment process that is easily integrated, implemented and utilized by providers, Misys EMR can benefit practices of any size, from solo offices to large group practices and health systems.
