ROCKVILLE, Md., July 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Gundersen Lutheran Health Plan, a Wisconsin-based healthcare network that includes one of the nation's largest multi-specialty group medical practices, has selected ASI to provide technology outsourcing services and hosting of the AMISYS healthcare information management application.
