Misys Healthcare Systems Selected as Affinity Partner by Connecticut State Medical Society

Statewide physicians organization selects Misys as first preferred healthcare technology solutions provider

NEW HAVEN, CT (June 4, 2007) –Misys Healthcare Systems, LLC, a market leader in healthcare IT, today announced a strategic relationship with the Connecticut State Medical Society (CSMS) as a technology provider of choice. The arrangement names Misys as a strategic solution vendor and “affinity partner” for the statewide CSMS organization, representing eight county medical associations and more than 7,000 physicians across Connecticut.

As the first strategic solutions supplier to become an affinity partner of CSMS, Misys and the society will establish a closer working relationship and explore ways to better serve the needs of physicians and the Connecticut healthcare community. The new relationship also makes CSMS members eligible for special pricing on Misys solutions.
 
“Misys has developed quality software that is user-friendly and allows for the sharing of patient data in all settings, which is important because of the diversity within our membership. We are pleased to include Misys on our short list of healthcare IT partners, said Matthew Katz, CSMS executive director.
 
Based on the new relationship, CSMS members will be eligible for discounts on leading solutions from the Misys portfolio designed to improve clinical and business outcomes for healthcare practitioners. Included are Misys software-based applications and services that enhance electronic medical records (EMRs), patient communications, revenue cycle and claims management, and other areas.
 
“Misys understands the difficulties facing today’s healthcare professionals in balancing quality of care, costs and operational efficiencies,” said Kelley Schudy, vice president of sales for Misys Healthcare. “As the first CSMS healthcare IT affinity partner, we have a better opportunity to work more closely with the Connecticut healthcare community in applying our knowledge, experience and technology to achieve the results physicians and patients expect. Misys is proud to be associated with CSMS.”
 

Founded in 1792, CSMS is the state’s largest physician advocacy and education organization. The Connecticut State Medical Society made a formal announcement of this relationship with Misys at its Health Information Technology Summit on May 11, 2007 in Hartford, Connecticut.
