RALEIGH, N.C.--()--Misys Healthcare Systems (FTSE: MSY.L), a market leader in healthcare IT, today announced a relationship with Blue Ridge Medical Management Corporation (Blue Ridge) to expand its health network and offer improved care processes across Tennessee and Virginia. Blue Ridge provides medical management services to physicians and entities in the region – including five recently acquired community hospitals that were using disparate practice management and billing systems. Blue Ridge purchased more than 125 licenses for Misys Vision® – as well as conversion services – to bring the hospitals’ physicians onto one common practice management platform in a timely manner.
“Misys solutions will enable their members to quickly access patient records, share data, and reduce time devoted to administrative tasks – allowing them to instead focus on providing premium care to their patients.”
Additionally, Blue Ridge will offer Misys Vision and Misys EMR® as hosted solutions for East Tennessee State University’s James H. Quillen College of Medicine. The company purchased 250 Misys Vision licenses and 325 Misys EMR licenses, which will enable Blue Ridge physicians to join a connected community of caregivers, quickly sharing data for enhanced patient care across the community.
“We’re pleased to continue to grow the relationship we’ve had with Misys Healthcare for a number of years, and we consider them a crucial element of our success as our organization continues to expand,” said Steve Kilgore, president of Blue Ridge Medical Management Corporation. “Misys has stepped up to be a part of the solution for us as we continue our implementation of EMR. The ETSU solution is exciting, and we’re proud to be part of their plans. We’re also looking forward to implementing Misys Vision as a common platform for the practices associated with our new hospitals, as it will enable them to share information and provide care across the continuum in a more cost-effective manner.”
“Blue Ridge has taken a significant step in building a connected healthcare community,” said R.L. (Vern) Davenport, executive vice president and general manager of Misys Healthcare Systems. “Misys solutions will enable their members to quickly access patient records, share data, and reduce time devoted to administrative tasks – allowing them to instead focus on providing premium care to their patients.”
