MEDecision Quadruples Booth at HIMSS Conference and Exhibition

Sponsorships and Major Announcements Highlight Company’s Expanded Presence

WAYNE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MEDecision, Inc., a leading provider of collaborative health care management solutions, today announced it will have a considerably larger presence at this year’s event than it has had in the past for the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) 2009 Conference and Exhibition, April 4–8 at McCormick Place in Chicago.

“Our expanded presence is a testament to our company’s stability and health, and is timed to align ourselves with the ripe opportunities in the marketplace to deliver against President Obama’s promise of an EMR and other health information exchange initiatives.”

“At a time when most companies are scaling back or eliminating conference participation altogether, we’ve decided to step things up,” said MEDecision President and Chief Operating Officer Scott A. Storrer. “Our expanded presence is a testament to our company’s stability and health, and is timed to align ourselves with the ripe opportunities in the marketplace to deliver against President Obama’s promise of an EMR and other health information exchange initiatives.”

The most dramatic change for MEDecision at HIMSS 2009 will be a 40’ x 50’ booth space — more than quadruple the size of the company’s 2008 booth. The company is sponsoring the Saturday, April 4, Payer Symposium and is the sole sponsor of the Payer Roundtable Breakfast on Monday, April 6. In addition, MEDecision will utilize HIMSS as a forum for several significant news announcements, including a major product announcement and an important new partnership initiative.

Held annually, the HIMSS Conference and Exhibition draws thousands of people from throughout the health care and health information technology industries for a week of presentations, seminars, lectures, work shops and various other events covering current and emerging trends in health IT. The exhibit also draws hundreds of vendors showcasing some of the latest advancements in health information technology and related areas.
