Misys Healthcare Systems, a market leader in healthcare IT, has signed an agreement to be one of VHA's suppliers for Electronic Medical Records (EMR) software to physician practices owned or affiliated with members of VHA Inc., the national health care alliance.

Through the agreement, medical practices that are owned or affiliated with VHA's 1,400 member hospitals will have the opportunity to save money on the purchase and installation of Misys EMR(R). The award-winning Misys EMR solution will enable medical practices to streamline productivity and maximize profitability. This modularly designed product provides electronic capabilities for routine tasks related to clinical data (such as transcription, imaging results, orders management, messaging and prescription writing), as well as a wireless point-of-connection for physicians in the examination room.

"Our physician practice members need quality electronic health records solutions, and we want to help guide them to quality, reliable software offerings," said Amy Anthony, Vice President of Purchased Services at VHA. "And after a close examination of the EMR market, we concluded that Misys Healthcare Systems was a great fit - Misys' reputation, product offering and longevity in the market are excellent."

"We're excited to bring our solution to VHA members," said Kelley Schudy, Vice President of Sales for Misys Healthcare Systems. "With more than 1,500 practices already seeing the tremendous return on investment our EMR brings, we know the value Misys EMR will bring VHA practices."
