Misys Healthcare Systems Signs Deal in Utah
Raleigh, NC - March 13, 2002 - Misys Healthcare Systems (formerly Medic Computer Systems), a market leader in healthcare IT, today announced a deal with Planned Parenthood Association of Utah. The agreement provides the organization with the Misys Vision/Optimum™ system, a complete package of patient management, administrative and managed care applications.
Association representatives say Misys gets the gold for providing products that address their specific needs. "We really value the customization of the product," says Penny Davies, the association's Director of Clinical Services. "With Misys Vision/Optimum, we're not buying a 'canned' product.
