Noteworthy Medical Systems Acquires MARS Medical Systems

CLEVELAND, Aug. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Noteworthy Medical Systems, originator
of the market's only three-screen ambulatory electronic health record (EHR),
announced it has acquired strategic partner MARS Medical Systems, a leading
provider of practice management solutions to physician groups. Noteworthy
serves a combined customer base of more than 1,000 practices, 4,600 healthcare
providers and 8,300 users across 43 states. Noteworthy has offices in
Cleveland, Ohio; Phoenix, Arizona; and Pocatello, Idaho.
"This acquisition is a key component for providing a complete set of
solutions for the healthcare market," said Larry Dolin, Noteworthy's chairman
of the board and CEO. "MARS' applications and personnel have already
accelerated the growth of the combined organizations, added value to our
combined client base, and fortified Noteworthy's foundation as we move forward
into new markets."
MARS Medical Systems, a highly successful, private company, was founded in
1984 and headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. Holding true to a vision of
providing the best tools for managing the physician practice, MARS managed
solid growth and consistent positive cash flow. MARS has been a market leader
since 1999 when it introduced NetPractice(TM), the industry's first fully
functional, browser-based practice management system. A year later the company
developed WebPractice(TM), the first self-hosting, browser-based, secure
patient portal. A series of productivity-enhancing tools have since been added
to the NetPractice(TM) product portfolio.
"The combined technologies of the two companies have given us the ability
to offer a complete continuum of products and services to meet the varied
needs of individual practices across the country and the national presence to
back it up," said Mark Conner, former MARS president and CEO, and current
executive vice president of Noteworthy Medical Systems.
