HDM Breaking News, April 28, 2008

Raleigh, N.C.-based Misys Healthcare Systems will embed in its Misys MyWay electronic health records software specialty-specific reference content from Wolters Kluwer Health, Conshohocken, Pa.

Misys is merging with Chicago-based Allscripts Inc. and will take the Allscripts name upon closing. MisysMyWay is private-labeled EHR software licensed from iMedica Corp., Carrollton, Texas.

Starting in July, Misys will offer the software for primary care and cardiology practices embedded with reference and drug information, evidence-based guidelines, clinical decision support, and documentation and coding tools specific to those practices. Over time, the vendor will add Wolters Kluwer content for other specialties.

Misys also recently announced it would integrate the EHR with the cardiac monitoring devices of Bothell, Wash.-based Cardiac Science Corp.
