7 Medical Launches On-Demand Healthcare IT Services in Minnesota, Florida, Georgia, North Dakota and WisconsinHealthcare organizations employ cost-effective, productivity-enhancing on-demand services for electronic medical records and digital imaging (PACS) MINNEAPOLIS—November 20, 2006—7 Medical Systems™, LLC, a leader in on-demand software, technology and IT services for the healthcare industry, today announced the launch of its on-demand electronic medical records (EMR) and digital imaging solutions in five states: Minnesota, Florida, Georgia, North Dakota and Wisconsin. Healthcare organizations in these areas are taking advantage of cost-effective, productivity-enhancing solutions for EMR and digital imaging utilizing a highly flexible and scalable platform for picture archiving and communication systems (PACS). In 3Q 2006, 7 Medical entered into five-year service agreements with 14 healthcare entities including nine ambulatory clinics, three imaging centers and two community-based hospitals. These organizations cover a wide range of specialties such as family practice, disease management, pediatrics, neurology, orthopedics, OB-GYN, imaging centers and rural, community-based hospitals. To meet strategic business objectives, they are deploying 7 Medical's 7p Patient-Relationship-Management-on-Demand™ (PRM-on-Demand) Suite for EMR and 7i Digital Imaging-on-Demand™ Suite for PACS to improve quality of care and clinical workflows while minimizing capital and recurring costs. "When it comes to finding the right technology strategy to run their healthcare businesses, our customers face the same challenges that most healthcare organizations do: trying to find the right balance of cost versus benefit," said Jason Studsrud, chief executive officer and co-founder of 7 Medical Systems. "Our on-demand solutions cut the initial capital investment required in favor of more affordable monthly fees based on usage. This pay-as-you-go approach eases implementation, operation and maintenance by shifting that burden to us. The key to our success lies not only in our technologies and approach, but the unique combination of clinical and technical expertise we bring to the table. A deep understanding of clinical applications and workflows is crucial to developing practical technology solutions that truly work." On-demand services work similar to the way utilities such as water, natural gas or electricity do. Rather than investing significant capital and incurring expenses for additional IT technical staff to build networks in-house and manage EMR and digital imaging (PACS) systems, medical clinics and hospitals outsource these critical functions to 7 Medical. As a result, more efficient workflows allow care providers and healthcare workers to focus on delivering higher quality patient care. Meanwhile, more affordable monthly usage fees lighten the load on shrinking IT budgets. In addition to reducing capital costs and improving workflows, 7 Medical's on-demand solutions help healthcare organizations manage risk by ensuring that systems are flexible and scalable enough to grow with the needs of their businesses; that critical data and network resources are protected, backed up and can be quickly recovered in the event of a disaster; that patient privacy and information is protected as mandated by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996; and that technology upgrades are automatically included.
