OMEGA HEALTH SYSTEMS IMPLEMENTS MILLBROOK CORPORATION'S PARADIGM PRACTICE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM; SYSTEM WILL INTEGRATE OMEGA'S NATIONWIDE EYE CARE NETWORK
CARROLLTON, TEXAS (Dec. 10) BUSINESS WIRE -Dec. 10, 1998--Millbrook Corporation today announced that the Company has signed an agreement with Omega Health Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq/NMS:OHSI) to implement the Millbrook Paradigm(TM) practice management system for Omega's nationwide eye care network. Millbrook is a leading provider of financial and administrative services/physician practice management software for the healthcare industry.
The system, which runs on a Microsoft(R) Windows NT(R) operating system and SQL Server relational database, will allow Omega's affiliated doctors across the country to interface and share critical patient information. In addition, the open architecture of the system will provide customized data-reporting, scheduling and billing capabilities for the entire Omega system. The system is being installed on hardware from Dell Computer Corporation with which Omega has a favorable purchasing agreement. Implementation is underway and, to date, the system is operational in seven of Omega's 22 markets.
"We are very pleased to announce this relationship with Millbrook Corporation and the opportunity to work with a leading provider of software for the healthcare industry," commented Thomas P. Lewis, president and chief executive officer of Omega Health Systems, Inc. "The Millbrook Paradigm practice management system will offer Omega's doctors a distinct advantage, allowing them to share critical information and create operating efficiencies in managing their practices. This important initiative again demonstrates that Omega is setting the standard for success in the delivery of eye care. We continue to offer value beyond the traditional practice management model by enhancing the ability of our affiliated doctors to apply the best clinical and management practices and ultimately provide efficient and cost effective patient care."
"We understand Omega Health Systems' strategic initiative to deploy and utilize leading edge technologies based on open architectures," said Michael K. Nissenbaum, president and chief executive officer of Millbrook Corporation (www.millbrook.com). "Millbrook is committed to maintain its position as the leading edge provider of physician practice management software. We are pleased to be selected by Omega Health Systems and are excited about working with them in the future."
"Omega's selection of Millbrook's practice management solution and Microsoft technology demonstrates the momentum of the Microsoft Windows NT and SQL Server open architecture in healthcare," said John D. Carpenter Jr., worldwide healthcare manager at Microsoft. "Microsoft offers a single, scaleable client/server architecture that's as suitable for a small physician practice as it is for a major teaching hospital."
"We are pleased to have been chosen by Omega Health Systems to provide the necessary hardware for its new practice management system," commented Mike Beaver, director of healthcare, Dell Computer Corporation. "We look forward to helping Omega increase operating efficiencies with the implementation of this technology."
