e-MedSoft.com
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 9, 1999--e-MedSoft.com (OTC BB:MDTK - news) today announced that Home
Medical of America (''HMA''), the nation's largest privately-held provider of home healthcare services, has selected
e-MedSoft.com to Web-enable selected legacy mainframe applications in connection with the significant base of physicians
on the e-MedSoft.com network. This
implementation will allow HMA to connect its 125 locations and 14,000 employees in 42 states to the e-MedSoft.com network.
''We are extremely excited about the opportunity for e-MedSoft's technology to immediately enhance our internal information
system requirements without
disturbing our existing systems and processes,'' said Richard ''Rick'' Buck, a spokesman for Home Medical. ''Additionally, by
utilizing e-MedSoft.com's expertise
to extend our home care services via the Internet we will be able to reach a broader set of customers more quickly, efficiently
and at a lower cost, reinforcing our
commitment to be No. 1 in all that we do.''
''e-MedSoft.com is pleased to be associated with such a prestigious provider of home health services,'' said John Andrews,
Chairman and CEO of e-MedSoft.com.
''Our suite of Internet healthcare solutions and our leading edge Java technology will not only unify the disparate Home
Medical systems environment, but will also
seamlessly interlink its broad spectrum of home care services to all participants including patients, physicians and payers.
''Given that the majority of clinical costs are from chronic diseases that are often treated at home, our solutions will reduce
costs and improve the quality of care by
serving as a resource for recording and communicating wellness-related information to clinicians as well as for ordering
products and services. Additionally, we plan
to integrate and extend these product enhancements to e-MedSoft.com's current healthcare customers.
''e-MedSoft.com has, and continues, to land contracts with some of the largest and most prestigious providers in all of the
varying fields of health care. Our plans
based on gaining market share supported by product performance are on track, we believe our e-MedSoft.com solution is at
the forefront of Internet-based
solutions for the medical community, and we believe we are as well poised as any of our competitors to take advantage of the
multi-billion market potential as the
medical community moves from traditional client-side software to Internet-based healthcare management and processing
solutions.''
