Birmingham, Ala. / April 15, 2002 – Source Medical Solutions, Inc. (www. sourcemed. net) announced today that it has joined forces with HealthIS, Inc. (www. healthis. com) to develop “SurgiSource,” the next generation of information management solutions for ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) and surgical hospitals.



“This is an exciting time, not only for our customers and employees, but for the industry as a whole,” said P. Daryl Brown, Source Medical’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Combining the resources and expertise of our companies affords us the ability to better meet the needs of today’s ambulatory surgery center and surgical hospital, and provides us with the unique opportunity to help shape the future of outpatient healthcare.”



Source MedicalÂ’s next generation product will combine the best features from AdvantX and SIS-SurgiSource, the leading Windows-based solutions for ASCs. An integrated, true Web-based solution, SurgiSource will feature lower costs of ownership, proven scalability, the best security available, HIPAA readiness, unique eLearning tools, Six Sigma quality and many new features, including clinical automation and transcription.



“As we develop our ‘best of breed’ solution, we will continue to fully support all of our current products,” said Dr. Peter Sereny, HealthIS’s former CEO and Source Medical Board Member. “As a combined entity, our primary goal will be to provide solutions that consistently surpass customer expectations for quality and efficiency.”



HealthIS was founded in 1984 by Peter Sereny, M. D. and Aron Sereny, PhD. HealthIS later acquired Temple Surgicenter Systems, which was founded in 1979. Under terms of the merger, Source Medical acquired HealthIS, Inc., including its leading solutions designed for ASCs, surgical hospitals and physician practice management groups.



Combined, Source MedicalÂ’s solutions are installed in over 1,200 ambulatory surgery centers nationwide, clearly establishing its position as the market leader.



“We also look forward to bringing our unique vision, industry expertise and vast resources to HealthIS’s physician practice management clients,” added Brown. “With products for ambulatory surgery centers, surgical hospitals, rehabilitation therapy clinics, diagnostic imaging facilities and physician practices, Source Medical is clearly focused on being an industry innovator and leader.”



Source Medical is the leading provider of outpatient healthcare solutions, with products used every day in more than 3,650 healthcare facilities throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and Guam.
