MedAvant and Misys Healthcare Systems Partner to Provide Enhanced Transaction Processing and E-Prescribe Services

MedAvant Healthcare Solutions (Nasdaq:PILL), a leader in healthcare technology and transaction services, today announced that it has entered into a long-term strategic relationship with Misys Healthcare Systems for the electronic processing and delivery of electronic prescriptions and claims transactions for Misys' 90,000+ provider customers.

"Misys Healthcare Systems is at the forefront of the healthcare industry's movement toward EMR and real-time electronic processing and we are excited to be partnering with them to deliver ground-breaking solutions to providers," said John Lettko, CEO of MedAvant. "We believe MedAvant's real-time transaction processing platform Phoenix(TM), our full range of transaction processing and e-prescribe solutions, and our commitment to service excellence will provide for a long term win-win partnership with Misys and their provider customers."
