iMedica and Doctors’ Administrative Solutions
Partner to Accelerate Electronic Health Record Adoption

DAS to boost physician adoption of EHRs, starting with Tampa, FL, Region

DALLAS and TAMPA, FL – April 30, 2009 – iMedica Corporation, a leading developer
of healthcare software solutions for medical practices, today announced a sales and
marketing partnership with Doctors’ Administrative Solutions (DAS), a Tampa, Floridabased company and 2009 Tampa Bay CEO Magazine “Tampa Bay 100, Most Influential
Businesses in Tampa” honoree, wherein DAS will offer iMedica’s Patient Relationship
Manager™ (PRM 2009) and new Transition™ EHR (Electronic Health Record) systems
to physician practices.


DAS provides people-based technology solutions for physician practices through
products, services, training and the creation of a connected healthcare community. As
an iMedica value added reseller, DAS aims to boost EHR adoption among physician
practices in the Tampa area and beyond. In the midst of the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act and the HITECH Act, DAS is working with physicians to help them
access stimulus funds for EHR adoption and creating new jobs in the process.
“This partnership with iMedica will help us provide physicians with the EHR and practice
management solutions that best suit their needs, and with the quality service they
expect,” said David A. Schlaifer, President and CEO of DAS. “As the federal
government begins to offer more incentives to physicians through the stimulus plan, we
believe this partnership will help us bring one of the best designed and supported EHR
products on the market to physicians in this region and beyond.”
DAS will offer iMedica’s PRM 2009 and the recently unveiled Transition EHR. Both
products are offered as hosted solutions, allowing physicians to access the best
software at an extremely reasonable cost, without the need to employ additional IT
resources.


PRM 2009 is the latest version of iMedica’s award-winning single-database integrated
EHR and Practice Management solution that utilizes Microsoft’s.NET technology. It is
tailored to address the business and clinical needs of small- to medium-sized medical
practices.


Transition is a new EHR and PM system. It eliminates long-standing implementation and
cost barriers raised by physicians. In addition, Transition speeds the adoption of EHRs
within small to medium-sized physician practices. As an alternative to PRM 2009’s fullfledged EHR/PM system, Transition offers e-prescribing, document management, lab
results, automated PQRI capabilities and more, without PRM 2009’s full note
documentation capability.


“Physician practices in DAS’ region will be especially gratified to know that they can
enhance reimbursement through features such as iMedica’s PQRI (Patient Quality
Reporting Initiative),” said Michael Nissenbaum, President and CEO of iMedica. “Once
physicians realize that tools such as the iMedica PRM 2009 and Transition can actually
improve reimbursement and strengthen practice profitability, they’ll feel more confident
about coping with other implementation barriers such as practice downtime, staff training
and the transition from paper to electronic records.”
The partnership between iMedica and DAS combines iMedica’s award-winning solutions
with DAS’s integrated local support and training for physicians and their practices,
bringing the agility of both companies to bear in a market that demands quick turnaround and responsive service.
