LENEXA, KS--(Marketwire - April 11, 2011) - [ Mediware Information Systems, ] Inc. (
Mediware's plans are to integrate the CareCentric business with its existing Alternate Care Solutions (ACS) product line that already supports almost 400 customer facilities with software targeting the specific needs of home medical equipment, home health, home infusion, specialty pharmacy and other outpatient care providers. Mediware formed ACS in March 2010 following the December 2009 acquisition of Healthcare Automation Inc. and Advantage Reimbursement Inc., and the November 2008 acquisition of Hann's On Software.
"Through Mediware's ACS product line we are dedicating business, healthcare and technology resources to develop and deliver the industry's most comprehensive software solutions," said Thomas Mann, Mediware's president and chief executive officer. "We believe this segment of healthcare shows immense promise. The nation's population continues to age and we believe the use of home and outpatient-based care will increase. Providing these services outside the hospital is more cost effective and is simply more appealing to patients. As these services expand, we believe the demand for safe and efficient care management systems will increase.
"Providers of home and alternate-site care face unique challenges that can be aided through automation and advanced technologies," continued Mr. Mann. "From patient acquisition through final reimbursement, Mediware software is positioned to ensure our customers are effective and efficient, and that they can be quickly paid for the services provided to their patients."
Mediware's Alternate Care Solutions group is led by Mr. Ken Pereira, who was formerly the CEO of Healthcare Automation. Mr. Pereira and the Mediware ACS team will be meeting with customers, prospects and partners throughout MedTrade's Spring conference, held in Las Vegas April 12-14.
