Aspyra, Inc. entered into a reseller agreement with Allscripts

This agreement allows Aspyra to promote Allscripts' Practice Management (PM), Electronic Medical Record (EMR), Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) and Emergency Department solutions nationally to new and existing Aspyra customers. The reciprocal agreement also allows Allscripts to promote Aspyra's laboratory (LIS) and radiology (RIS) information systems, and Picture Archiving Communication System (PACS) solutions to new and existing Allscripts customers.

Allscripts uses innovation technology to bring health to healthcare. More than 150,000 physicians utilize Allscripts to improve the health of their patients and their bottom line. Aspyra will resell the Allscripts Professional® PM and EMR, MyWay® EM, PayerPath® RCM and Allscripts Emergency Department solutions with its CyberLAB LIS, CyberRAD RIS, AccessNET PACS, AccessRAD RIS/PACS and AccessMED Specialty PACS solutions.

Aspyra's wide range of departmental solutions, including LIS, RIS, PACS and integrated RIS/PACS improve access to clinical data, images and reports, as well as provide organizations with new channels to streamline workflow, boost efficiency and reduce costs.

The agreement coincides with the recent signing of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act into law, which encourages healthcare organizations to adopt healthcare IT technology, establish regional health information exchange networks and ensure the safety of critical patient data.

"As more healthcare organizations are motivated to adopt electronic healthcare technology with federal financial incentives, Aspyra is excited to work with Allscripts in offering combined solutions that improve the level of patient care, as well as provide a greater return on investment," stated Robert Pruter, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Aspyra. He continued, "With functional data sharing capabilities currently in place at joint customer sites, we have proven the ability to work together successfully in providing a fully integrated electronic patient record."

According to Kelley Schudy, Vice President of Channel Sales for Allscripts, at least 60% of patient's electronic medical record consists of data elements generated by clinical systems. "Our goal in working closely with Aspyra is to establish a digital environment within physician practices, multi-specialty clinics, and diagnostic centers-to name a few. This highly complementary relationship between Aspyra's clinical systems and Allscripts' solutions facilitate acquisition, distribution, and storage of clinical information across the healthcare community while optimizing the care provider and patient experience."

The 12-month letter of agreement became effective February 3, 2009.

Aspyra, Inc. and Allscripts will be exhibiting their enterprise solutions at the National Rural Health Association Annual Conference, May 5-8, 2009 in Miami, FL. As one of the few healthcare technology vendors offering enterprise-wide solutions including LIS, RIS and PACS, Aspyra is proud to be a silver sponsor of the National Rural Health Association.
