Florida Medical Clinic Implements Integrated Analytics and Dashboarding for
Revenue Cycle and General Ledger Systems

ZEPHYRHILLS, Fla., Oct. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Florida Medical Clinic (FMC), a
multispecialty group practice, has selected the PDS PRISM to expand analytical
and reporting capabilities.

The implementation involves leveraging existing infrastructure using Sage
Practice Analytics, a data repository for FMC's Sage Intergy practice
management system. PDS will extract data from the Sage repository and FMC's
Great Plains general ledger to build and join relational data marts for
revenue cycle and expense data. Staging data sets from these disparate
systems will allow FMC to automate a wide variety of reporting capabilities,
including income statements by department and location.

"PDS was able to assess our needs and recommend a solution tailored to our
unique requirements," according to Chris Alvarez, Chief Financial Officer for
FMC. "PRISM will enhance our capabilities to analyze data and dramatically
improve efficiencies in reporting to providers and managers throughout our
practice," says Alvarez.

PDS will initially provide PRISM to FMC through a Software-as-a-Service model,
and at a later date, the data warehouse and suite of tools will be
transitioned to a FMC server. The approach allows considerable flexibility
and minimizes IT staff resources throughout the implementation and eventual
migration in-house.

"PDS seeks to identify delivery models that best meet our clients' unique
needs," says Russell Hendrickson, President of PDS. "Using existing
infrastructure that we were able to leverage and augment was very practical
for FMC," says Hendrickson, "transitioning from a PDS-hosted solution to
client-server model underscores our capabilities to deliver adaptive
technologies to large group practices."
