MILLER ORTHOPAEDIC CLINIC SELECTS MED3OOO FOR ASP SERVICES

PITTSBURGH, PA - MED3OOO Group, Inc. (MED3OOO), an industry leader in healthcare management and technology products and services, recently announced that they have expanded their relationship with Miller Orthopaedic Clinic, one of the oldest and most comprehensive orthopaedic practices in the Southeast, with twenty five physicians and eight locations in the Charlotte, North Carolina region. Miller Orthopaedic Clinic had originally retained MED3OOO for financial and practice operational consulting. The new agreement expands the relationship with the planned installation of MED3OOO's advanced suite of ASP offerings including the Misys Vision™ Optimum practice management system; the Misys EMR™ electronic medical records product starting off with a phased implementation of transcription, scanning and chart tracking, while moving towards point of care; and access to the MED3OOO/IQ™ data warehouse which will be utilized to fully integrate the practice management and EMR data for multifaceted decision-support analysis and reporting.

"We were looking for both the best technological solution and a company that shared our focus on patients," said Craig D. Brigham, M.D., President of Miller Orthopaedic Clinic. "The MED3OOO model is designed to be fast and fluid in upgrades, so that we can keep up with the rapidly evolving healthcare industry. Also, working with MED3OOO as part of our consulting arrangement gave us firsthand knowledge of their extensive experience in organizational management and healthcare technology."

The MED3OOO/IQ™ data warehouse will integrate clinical, financial, and practice operations data from disparate systems, and then systematically converts the raw data into information for advanced decision-support analysis and clinical reporting. The IQ reports can be used for all aspects of practice and financial operations, performance measurement, decision-support and the most comprehensive clinical care reporting. Taking advantage of Miller Orthopaedic Clinic's leadership role in orthopaedics, MED3OOO will also develop proprietary clinical and surgical reporting for the clinic's advancements in patient care.

"At Miller Orthopaedic Clinic, our core value is always to provide the best patient care possible," said Marty Rosenberg, CEO and Administrator of Miller Orthopaedic Clinic. "In teaming with MED3OOO, which has both practice management experts and in-house technical staff, we feel that we have chosen an organization that is equally dedicated. MED3OOO's experience and commitment will allow us to better manage patient information and ultimately improve patient care."

Patrick Hampson, MED3OOO's Chairman and CEO stated, "We are pleased to be selected as a business partner of one of the country's leading orthopaedic groups. With the rise in healthcare costs, lower reimbursements and greater regulatory requirements, physicians are turning to organizations that can implement technology which not only improve business, but also enhance patient care, manage practice growth, and payer demands. Physicians expect and deserve the organizations they partner with to be more than vendors. They must have an overall commitment to the success of the practice operations and more importantly to capture data, turn it into information, and make it easily accessible for their use in managing their business and managing their patient care. They have a commitment to Evidenced Based Medicine, we have a commitment to Evidenced Based Management, and it is the convergence and our focus of these two areas, that give us the confidence to believe we offer 'Clearly the Best' solutions in the industry".
