News release. Strange it was not released by HIE or am I getting senile and I just forgot? APACHE Medical Systems Cancels Proprietary Interface Engine Development - Partners with HIE to Incorporate HL7 Industry Standard Solution McLean, VA -- September 16, 1998 -- APACHE Medical Systems, Inc. [NASDAQ:AMSI], a leading provider of outcomes software and performance improvement services, today announced that it has cancelled proprietary interface engine development and entered into an agreement with Healthdyne Information Enterprises, Inc.

"Developing interface engines is not a core competency of AMSI," said APACHE President and CEO Peter Gladkin.

At the same time, our customers will benefit from a more focused R&D effort resulting in more robust products." The Company said that the cancellation of in-house interface engine development is expected to have minimum impact on revenues and a positive impact on expenses going forward. APACHE Medical Systems, Inc. is the recognized leader in the development of risk-adjustment models, clinical decision support tools and quality improvement programs for the care of high-risk, high-cost patients. The Company's products and services enable health systems, hospitals and providers to apply an evidence-based approach to achieve clinical performance excellence, reduce cost and compete effectively under managed care. The Company's programs are today helping providers to better manage the clinical, financial and patient satisfaction outcomes of high-risk, high-cost patients in critical, acute, cardiovascular, HIV/AIDS and sub-acute care. In addition to the Company's clinical performance improvement services, APACHE/National Health Advisors offers strategic and management consulting services to strengthen the competitive position and operating performance of hospitals, health systems and other providers.

More news with HDIE in it. I am on a roll tonight! Per-Se Announces ProgRIS Interactive New Version of RIS Features Integrated Voice Recognition, Enhanced Remote Access and Industry-Standard Interface Engine CHICAGO – November 30, 1998 – RSNA, BOOTH #4352 – Per-Se Technologies, a leading provider of software and technology services for the healthcare industry, today announced ProgRIS™ Interactive, a new version of its proven Radiology Information System. The system, which fully supports both hospital and imaging centers, takes advantage of the latest technology to help radiology departments streamline business and IT processes and makes it easier for physicians to receive, manage and transmit critical patient information. Per-Se is an established leader in Radiology Information Systems (RISs) with more than 2,000 ProgRIS users nationwide. ProgRIS supports patient scheduling, order management, patient tracking, image management, diagnostic reporting and coding, inventory control and mammography reporting. The newest version of Per-Se's RIS, ProgRIS Interactive boasts several new features including embedded -- rather than interfaced -- voice recognition; expanded web-based report retrieval, editing and transmission functions; and an integrated interface engine from industry-leading provider, Healthdyne Information Enterprises, Inc. (HIE). “ProgRIS Interactive includes a wealth of features that enhance access and streamline both system use and system programming,” said Joanne L. Voorhees, vice president of product management. “ProgRIS Interactive allows an organization to expand access to its system, and thus, optimize existing functionality. Simply put—the easier a system is to access and then to use once it's accessed, the more it will be used, maximizing an organization's RIS investment and improving operations overall.” ProgRIS Interactive offers the following benefits and advances: Web-based applets give referring physicians access to various remote functions—transcription, scheduling, report approval, report viewing and management reports—anywhere, at any time, without installing or maintaining special software. Integrated voice recognition via IBM's MedSpeak™, a continuous speech recognition solution, allows physicians (particularly radiologists and pathologists) to create diagnostic test reports easily and almost instantaneously - simply by speaking aloud. Integrated, industry standard interface engine minimizes users' need to program interfaces and streamlines system updates. Two-way communication between ProgRIS and PACS systems supports tracking of complete image histories – both digital and hard copy. ProgRIS Interactive is highly scalable and runs on the customer's choice of a Windows 95 or Windows NT client with NT or UNIX servers and an SQL-compliant relational database. The thin-client, three-tiered architecture improves remote access, distributes the processing load for improved performance and reduces telecommunication costs. ProgRIS Interactive will be Generally Available in early 1999.
