New Technology Improves Document Capture, Streamlines Health Records
Documentation

DALLAS, March 24 /PRNewswire/ -- iMedica Corporation, a leading developer of
healthcare software solutions for physician practices, today announced a
technology partnership with Imagetek, a national leader in enterprise content
management and business process automation, to strengthen the capture of
paper-based documents and ease the transition to the paperless physician
practice.

Together, Imagetek and iMedica have created a solution that provides
clinicians with easy and reliable access to patient records, including legacy
paper documents, through the Inofile interface. Hosted within the Fujitsu
fi-6010N iScanner, Inofile's convenient touch-and-go feature allows clinicians
to automatically scan and store documents in the correct location within
iMedica's Patient Relationship Manager(TM) (PRM), a single-application
electronic medical record (EMR) and practice management (PM) solution that
utilizes Microsoft's latest .NET technology.

"Joining forces with iMedica has allowed us to leverage the amazing technology
of Inofile, that is essential for the healthcare industry," said Dane Meuler,
Vice President of Business Development at Imagetek. "This integration has
enabled us to make a seamless records management solution that gives users a
more efficient means of completing the transition to a paperless office."

Using the advanced features of the Fujitsu fi-6010N iScanner, hospitals,
physician offices and medical clinics can easily scan paper-based documents,
capture the documents in digital formats and provide healthcare professionals
with instant accessibility. EMR/EHRs incorporate built-in health maintenance
reminders, messaging and tasking tools and a patient portal, as well as
important elements such as portability, off-site back-up and interoperability.

"Partnering with Imagetek has enabled iMedica to reinforce our core value of
providing effective electronic health record (EHR) and practice management
solutions for our customers," said Michael Nissenbaum, President and CEO of
iMedica. "The rich features Imagetek offers for providing enterprise content
management combined with the capture functionality of the fi-6010N iScanner by
Fujitsu provides an efficient management of important patient documents within
the iMedica EMR and PRM software suite."

"This is exactly what our engineers envisioned when they created the fi-6010N
iScanner," said Douglas Rudolph, Vice President of Product Management and
Business Development at Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc. "In this
fast-paced industry, healthcare documentation can be very work intensive. So
it is necessary to give physicians something simple and easy to use when
managing their practice. The Fujitsu iScanner and Inofile technologies have
been designed to deliver on all accounts."
