Sets Records in 2007
Salt Lake
City, UT, February 12, 2008
- Medicity CEO, J. Kipp Lassetter, announced today
that Medicity has reached new clinical transaction
volume records that mirror the company’s financial
growth.
“Last quarter, Medicity processed in excess
of 10 million clinical transactions across its customer
implementations, bringing the annual total to well
over 30 million,” Lassetter says.
“During 2007, the number of operational interfaces
into our technology platform increased to over 1,485,
representing the major vendors of clinical, physician,
and hospital systems. This growing Medicity ecosystem
connects physicians with their hospitals, labs, imaging
centers, and other vital healthcare information sources
in communities across the country.”
The number of clinicians using Medicity applications
jumped to more than 97,000 nationwide in 2007. Physicians
benefit from Medicity’s have-it-your-way strategy
which gives them options for receiving and viewing
information, depending upon their preferences—EMR,
mobile device, internet, fax, printer, or telephone.
“As a physician, I know it is crucial to deliver
information in a way that accommodates existing clinical
workflow,” Lassetter explains. “Medicity
has designed its solutions with clinicians and their
work habits in mind.”
Lassetter adds that Medicity’s banner year
is also an important milestone on the road to connecting
the healthcare industry. “Each hospital that
acquires a Medicity clinical platform is better prepared
to participate in community data sharing,” he
says.
Growth in transactions and users drove increased
Medicity hiring in 2007. To accommodate new staff,
the company doubled its Salt Lake City headquarters
office space. At the same time, the Customer Services
Engineering team opened a state-of-the-art Network
Operations Center. The center gives the CSE team new
tools for monitoring the status of customer implementations
and interfaces around the clock.
Medicity’s growth evidences the burgeoning
demand for interoperable clinical solutions in Healthcare.
“Opportunities in our market segments have proliferated
this past year as evidenced by the number of RFPs
our team has received and responded to,” explains
Brent Dover, Executive Vice President of Sales and
Marketing. “The increase also indicates industry
consensus around the legitimacy of the space in which
Medicity innovates and takes a leadership role. Strong
financials give us an edge in the competition for
new accounts in these segments.”
“Our message to the Market in 2007 boiled down
to two things: Medicity’s MediTrust platform
can (1) enable an effective long-term interoperability
strategy and (2) satisfy the diverse needs of physicians
by offering options for retrieving and viewing health
data,” adds Dover.
With this strategic positioning, Medicity successfully
enlarged its hospital and community client base with
clinical implementations across the country. Data
sharing and interoperability are the unifying themes
behind all of this new business.
The MediTrust platform allows exchanges of clinical
information among applications within a hospital and
systems outside the hospital. The architecture works
for hospitals, hospital systems, care communities,
states, and even the National Health Information Network.
Medicity will be demonstrating its solutions at the
HIMSS conference in Orlando February 24-28 (booth
#3641).
