Ware Langhorne & Associates, Inc. Extends Partnership With Misys Healthcare Systems to Provide Award-Winning Electronic Medical Records Solution to Physician Practices

Posted on: Monday, 7 August 2006, 09:00 CDT

Solution Enables WLA Customers to Streamline Productivity and Maximize Profitability

Misys Healthcare Systems, a market leader in healthcare IT, today announced that it has partnered with Ware Langhorne & Associates, Inc. (WLA), a rapidly growing medical practice management company, to provide Misys' Electronic Medical Records (EMR) software to its clients. Through the collaboration, WLA - a full-service management service organization - is adding Misys EMR(R), an award winning product offering, to the solutions it offers medical practices to enable WLA's physicians and medical practices to streamline productivity and maximize profitability.

With Misys EMR, physicians spend less time on administrative details, ensuring that all physician offices have the resources available to focus on offering their patients the best care possible. Furthermore, Misys EMR integrates seamlessly into many practice management solutions, meeting the organization's interoperability needs. System implementation is flexible and the interface design is user-friendly, with three graphical screens displaying the bulk of information physicians and staff need to access during a patient visit.

"Misys EMR brings together the most important aspects of a medical practice--patient safety, healthcare quality, and provider efficiency benefits--through state-of-the-art technology that provides an electronic vehicle to improve quality of care for patients, follow-up and recall," said Ann Langhorne Lilly, vice president of Ware Langhorne & Associates, Inc. "We've been a practice management customer of Misys for more than six years. After nearly two years of due diligence we selected Misys EMR because of its proven stability and robust functionality. This partnership allows us to offer a state-of-the-art EMR solution to our physicians and we are confident our practices will benefit greatly in terms of ROI," said Lilly.

In addition to offering Misys EMR to healthcare organizations, WLA will provide the infrastructure, hosting and application support through its proven ASP business model. This option allows those physician offices which may not have the expertise to support EMR solutions to implement technological innovations like Misys EMR to achieve the same efficiencies as their larger counterparts. By offering EMR on a subscription basis, WLA also minimizes the cost to physicians while offering local training, development and support.

"The information technology capabilities required to adopt, implement and maintain an EMR solution can sometimes be a barrier for smaller medical practices," said Kelley Schudy, vice president of sales for Misys Healthcare Systems. "Through WLA's partnership with Misys Healthcare Systems, we know the organization not only has the infrastructure and experience to service this market, but also understands Misys' products. We're excited to work with WLA as it introduces Misys EMR to its customers."
