HMS Selected by Texas Hospital to Provide Information Technology Infrastructure

Business Wire, April 3, 2008

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Healthcare Management Systems, Inc.([R]) (HMS) announced today that it has been selected by McCamey Hospital, a 14-bed healthcare facility in McCamey, Texas, to supply a full-suite of clinical and financial software solutions. Implementation of the HMS system has given McCamey the ability to perform a variety of cutting-edge functions, such as bedside bar coding and patient record integration. McCamey also expects to see an improvement in patient billing processing and creating user-friendly statements for its patients. The facility was previously working with only one financial application.

"What I think is significant is that we are putting this system in such a small, rural facility," said Jodie Gulihur, chief financial officer of McCamey Hospital District. "It shows you do not have to be in urban areas to have access to medical technology and the best patient care that can be offered."

"We are pleased to be able to help McCamey add so many great features to its administrative and clinical functionality," said Tom Stephenson, president and chief executive officer of HMS.

McCamey went live on the new HMS system February 1, 2008.
