Blue Ridge Medical Management Corporation Lays Groundwork for Connected Healthcare Community with Misys Healthcare Solutions
Physicians And Patients Throughout Tennessee and Virginia Will
Realize Benefits of EMR and Practice Management Software
RALEIGH, N.C.–(EMWNews)–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.
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.”
