Misys Open Source Solutions Tests Software at Connectathon

Innovative team at Misys demonstrates open source software at healthcare`s
primary interoperability testing event
NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
Misys Open Source Solutions, a division of Misys plc (FTSE:MSY.L), announced
today that it will demonstrate newly developed software at the healthcare
industry`s week-long interoperability testing event, Integrating the Healthcare
Enterprise (IHE) Connectathon in Chicago.

According to the IHE PIX/PDQ Profile, Misys Open Source Solutions has developed
server-based technology, dubbed OpenPIXPDQ, which is a needed component to
assist in providing standards-based interoperability among disparate health
information systems. The technology-used in conjunction with other IHE Profile
technologies to build health information exchanges (HIEs)-is expected to be a
core component in allowing HIEs to connect to the growing Nationwide Health
Information Network (NHIN).

"In December 2008, we announced that we`d be ready to deliver a beta, open
source version of the Patient Identifier Cross-Reference and Patient Demographic
Query function (OpenPIXPDQ) at this year`s Connectathon in Chicago, and our
development team has made good on that promise," said Tim Elwell, Vice President
of Open Source Solutions - Healthcare.

OpenPIXPDQ will be tested, alongside software developed by more than 70 other
vendors, to prove that traditionally competitive systems are able to send and
receive health information among one another. Upon completion of Connectathon on
February 27, the results will be published on the event`s site (www.IHE.net) and
the latest version off the Misys software will be available on Sourceforge.net.

Additionally, the software will be demonstrated at the year`s largest Health
Information Technology (HIT) showcase, the Healthcare Information Management
Systems & Society`s (HIMSS) Annual Conference and Exhibition, held April 4-8 in
Chicago.

The Open Source Solutions healthcare team plans to announce other healthcare
projects in the months ahead. Those interested in collaborating with the group`s
OpenPIXPDQ team are encouraged to join the community at
