ATLANTA--(Business Wire)--
mPacts, LLC, a healthcare IT company, announced today that it has entered into a
strategic business partnership with Allscripts, the leading provider of
Electronic Health Records (EHR) and practice management solutions for
physicians. mPacts will assist Allscripts` clients with the implementation of
their EHR, taking advantage of new federal incentives. 

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, signed into law February 17, 2009,
by President Obama, provides $19 billion to help healthcare organizations adopt
health information technologies. The majority of the funding will go toward
supporting adoption of EHR. The incentives allow physicians that adopt and use a
certified EHR between $44,000 and $64,000 over a five-year period. The timely
partnership between mPacts and Allscripts will offer experience and efficiency
to physician practices all over the Southeast. 

mPacts is rapidly becoming one of the largest IT support and consultation groups
for healthcare practices in the Southeast. Their focus is exclusively on
healthcare and they place a high priority on security. They seamlessly act as
the IT department, improving operational efficiencies, and ultimately quality of
patient care. mPacts has recently expanded into Western New York and they have
plans to expand throughout the country. 

Allscripts uses innovation technology to bring health to healthcare. More than
150,000 physicians utilize Allscripts to improve patient health and their
bottom-line. Their cutting-edge technology provides a comprehensive suite of
solutions for physician practices of all sizes. 

"We are excited to partner with mPacts to help their physician clients provide
even better quality care for their patients in a more cost-effective manner,"
said Vern Davenport, President of Allscripts Professional Solutions Group.
"Coupled with the new financial incentives from the federal government to use a
certified EHR, physicians are motivated now more than ever to step onto the
electronic healthcare highway." 

"The addition of the Allscripts EHR technology will increase operational
efficiency for practitioners, ultimately resulting in efficient practice
management, faster provision of enhanced services to patients and overall
profitability," said Sheryl Cherico, President and COO of mPacts. She is happy
about the strategic business partnership with Allscripts and the prospect of
bringing EHR to more physician practices. "I'm thrilled that Allscripts has
agreed to partner with us to bring their life-saving technology to our physician
clients."
