RALEIGH, N.C. (July 28, 2006) - Misys Healthcare Systems, a market leader in healthcare IT, today announced its positioning in Gartner's "Magic Quadrant for U.S. Physician Office Systems, 2006" report. * Gartner positions vendors based on their completeness of vision and ability to execute.

Misys' extensive product line offers end-to-end solutions for practices, from first patient touch through collection of payment for services. Misys' electronic medical records (EMR) and practice management (PM) solutions for provider organizations of all sizes - from solo practices to large group practices to comprehensive health systems - have catapulted the company to the top of the industry; demonstrating Misys' commitment to delivering healthcare IT solutions which are easy to integrate, implement and utilize.

"We consider our positioning by Gartner confirmation of Misys' aptitude at providing customers with the necessary tools to unlock the power of information to improve patient care and business performance," said Rob Kill, president of the Physician Systems business unit of Misys Healthcare Systems. "Misys continues to innovate while executing on its product roadmap.  Our comprehensive product line continually adapts and enhances the manner in which physicians are able to offer care of the highest level across the entire healthcare spectrum."

Physicians use Misys EMR, an electronic medical record solution, to enhance patient care, improve productivity and boost revenue through advanced billing practices and charge capture. Small and mid-sized physician practices utilize Misys Tiger, while medium and large practices use Misys Vision. Both are powerful practice management systems that include a comprehensive suite of patient management, administrative and reporting applications. These products integrate with Misys PatientLink, a patient Web portal that provides patients with the convenience of virtual office visits, paying medical bills online, requesting appointments and updating information. Physicians are able to review patient-entered clinical data prior to the visit - improving physician practice productivity and increasing patient satisfaction by improving communication between each group.

With the February 2006 acquisition of Payerpath, Inc., Misys further expanded its revenue cycle management capabilities through a state-of-the-art Web-based application that processes health claims. Designed for interoperability, Misys EMR supports clinical information sharing across the community and provides access to community-wide health information through Misys Connect™, fostering and improving patient care, reducing medical errors and ensuring health information transportability.
