Welcome!
One of our key initiatives this year
is the development of a comprehensive, integrated ambulatory care suite. Today, with
nearly 75% of all healthcare delivery centering around approximately 30
chronic diseases, health care's focus
has shifted from the management of a patient's inpatient stays to managing
outpatient-oriented care. To prepare for these changes, we continue to develop solutions
for the entire spectrum of ambulatory care - from physician practices and emergency
departments to surgical centers and clinics.
In this issue, we introduce our
ambulatory suite of products, including a problem-oriented Electronic Ambulatory Record
and an Emergency Department Management product. We also hear from Development Director
Janet Desroche on the challenges that ambulatory care presents, and where our products fit
in as health care delivery continues to move in new directions.
And we are pleased to announce the
unveiling of our MIX Web Site, which provides customers with a central location to get the
most up-to-date information on our MIX Customer Service Program. The site provides
discussion forums, a knowledge base, and information on upcoming events-including our
first CIO Workshop in June.
