It's amazing - HIE didn't even put out news this morning... Per-Se Technologies and HIE Align To Provide Integrated Healthcare Applications for European Market Industry-leading vendors join forces to provide a complete healthcare information system to the European market. HARROGATE – 22 March, 1999 -- HC '99 Stand B100 and B1 -- Per-Se Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of information systems and services for the healthcare industry, today announced the launch of the European marketing initiative to distribute HIE's Cloverleafâ message broker with their enterprise-capable clinical, resource management, administrative and financial management software solutions. The European initiative was developed under the auspices of a worldwide distribution agreement signed with HIE, Inc. (NASDAQ: HDIE) in September 1998. Under the agreement, Per-Se will market in Europe a solution that combines Per-Se's software solutions with HIE's Cloverleaf message broker, which integrates other healthcare applications with Per-Se software products. The new solution will be unveiled today at HC ‘99, Europe's largest healthcare information management event. Conference attendees will be able to preview the advantages of each company during the first three-day event in England's Harrogate International Centre. Elizabeth West, Per-Se vice president of product management for business systems, explained, “We understand all too well the challenges facing the European healthcare industry today. With widespread consolidation comes the need to integrate a host of standalone entities into an effective delivery system. Together, Per-Se and HIE can offer a solution that provides new, mission-critical applications and integrates them – together and with other applications – into a true enterprise solution.” “With the addition of Cloverleaf, Per-Se will be able to provide a totally integrated healthcare solution,” commented Robert Murrie, HIE president and CEO. “HC ‘99 presents an opportunity to unveil an information technology model that answers the needs of the healthcare industry, and extends the two companies' partnership opportunities in Europe.” Cloverleaf replaces costly point-to-point interfaces and allows information in the form of messages, records and transactions to be exchanged, transformed and routed between disparate applications.
