Muskogee Community Hospital Selects DocuSys for their Anesthesia Information Management System

ATLANTA--(Business Wire)--
DocuSys, Inc., the leading anesthesia information management
system (AIMS), medication management, and presurgical care management
system, teamed up with Computer Programs and Systems, Inc.
(NASDAQ:CPSI), a leading provider of healthcare information solutions,
to provide the latest healthcare technology to Muskogee Community
Hospital (MCH) in Muskogee, Oklahoma. Muskogee Community Hospital,
with 45 licensed patient rooms, has 4 operating rooms and is owned and
operated by local physicians. MCH, scheduled to open in early 2009,
strives to bring a higher standard of care to the Muskogee community.

   "Muskogee Community Hospital is committed to optimizing the use of
technology to deliver safe, high-quality patient care," said President
of Muskogee Community Hospital, Mark Roberts. "The DocuSys solution
will streamline our perioperative process in the operating room and
support our initiatives on patient safety and electronic
documentation."

   As part of its goal to enhance patient safety procedures and
create a paperless environment, MCH sought an AIMS solution to
compliment its electronic medical record in the OR. The DocuSys
solution provides MCH with a state-of-the-art AIMS application, which
produces an electronic medical record of the anesthetic case to help
caregivers collect, consolidate and manage patient data, and a coding
module giving MCH the ability to capture professional fees and
document comorbid conditions (existing illnesses).

   "CPSI is excited to be a part of MCH's healthcare information
technology strategy," said CPSI Chief Operating Officer Mike Jones.
"In combination with the DocuSys AIMS, the hospital and medical
practice applications of the CPSI System will afford MCH and the
community it serves with a complete electronic medical record that
will assist MCH in meeting its patient safety and electronic
documentation goals."

   "MCH will be a great addition to the community of Muskogee and we
are pleased they selected DocuSys state-of-the-art AIMS technology to
deploy in this new facility," said DocuSys President and Chief
Executive Officer Robert Watson. "This is a testament of their
dedication and commitment to their patients and community."
