MicroMed Announces NextGenWEB Suite of Internet-Based Solutions for Medical Enterprises
HORSHAM, Pa. — MicroMed Healthcare Information Systems, a division of Quality Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: QSII), Wednesday announced the availability NextGenWEB, a suite of Internet- based applications for health-care groups and networks, plus a number of Internet-based services.

Under development for the last year, NextGenWEB will allow medical practices to achieve a higher level of communication with their patients by using the Internet. NextGenWEB includes the following features for patients:

— Access to key parts of their medical record, including certain test results; — Access to health-education materials; — Direct input of demographic and insurance information, as well as medical and social history; — Patient-satisfaction surveys; — Appointment requests, confirmations and cancellations; and — Links to other related/informative sites.

As part of NextGenWEB, MicroMed announced a service to design, develop and host Web sites for its customers. MicroMed also announced that its industry-leading clinical application, NextGenEMR, has been enabled to operate over the Internet using a standard Web browser.

Patrick Cline, MicroMed's president, commented: "We are very excited about the deployment of these new technologies. NextGenWEB facilitates an unprecedented level of communication between doctor and patient, while streamlining administrative tasks within the practice.

"Additionally, the ability to deploy NextGenEMR via the Internet simplifies the task of installing and maintaining an electronic medical record, and reduces the total cost of ownership for the large, multilocation medical groups."

Mid-Atlantic Cardiology, a 24-provider cardiology group in Morristown, N.J., is one of the test sites for many of these new features. Mid-Atlantic's president, Charles Marotta, M.D., said: "We're delighted to begin offering this capability to our patients. MicroMed's technology makes it possible."

The MicroMed division is a result of the recently announced combination of Clinitec International Inc. and MicroMed Healthcare Information Systems Inc., both wholly owned subsidiaries of Quality Systems.

Quality Systems is a leading provider of computer-based practice-management systems for medical and dental group practices, with a customer base of approximately 500 clients in 45 states, Canada and Saudi Arabia.
