EHEALTHENGINES IMPLEMENTS OPENMED CLINICAL ASP PLATFORM AT SUN MICROSYSTEMS' IFORCE READY CENTER

Availability of eHealthEngines' OpenMed Suite at iForce Ready Center Offers Healthcare Customers a Competitive Edge by Providing Onsite Inspection and Go-to-Market IT Readiness


NEW ORLEANS, LA -- HIMSS 2001 Annual Conference -- February 6, 2001 – eHealthEngines and Sun Microsystems, Inc., providing systems and software with the scalability and reliability needed to drive the Net economy, announced today the installation of the OpenMed application platform at Sun Microsystems iForce Ready Center, located in Menlo Park, CA. An intelligent physician solution, OpenMed allows doctors and healthcare professionals "anytime, anywhere" access to critical healthcare information and diagnostic images, and provides quick and cost-effective delivery of clinical processes via the Web.

"Installation of the OpenMed application platform at Sun's iForce Ready Center offers healthcare clients an unparalleled opportunity to evaluate our products, review the scalability and reliability of their current technology, and determine what hardware and software solution sets are best suited to achieve optimal results with our mission-critical OpenMed applications," said Mark Gillett, President, eHealthEngines. "Sun's iForce Ready Center is a surefire method to meet blazing time-to-market realities, and enables healthcare companies to leverage our customized, comprehensive, and best-of-breed solutions along with Sun technology and partners."

The entire process occurs onsite at Sun's iForce Ready Center, starting with a near-exact replica of the healthcare customer's IT infrastructure. After careful analysis, expert iForce Ready Center consultants turn out a detailed road map to integrate and battle-test the technology. Likewise, a customized proof-of-concept allows the client to witness OpenMed results first-hand, based on the new technology blueprint. The finished product is a customer-ready menu of eHealthEngines' OpenMed products including the eHealthImages and eHealthReports application services, allowing clinical healthcare providers access to their practices over the Internet.

OpenMed Manager and OpenMed Viewer, the result of 10 years of research and development, offer healthcare professionals a unique Web accessible window into their practices' clinical information, and secure access to diagnostic information, images and reports. Hospitals, clinics, diagnostic imaging facilities, and clinical laboratories benefit from streamlined workflows, reduced direct operating costs and improved information quality through the introduction of sophisticated Web-based clinical tools.

eHealthEngines developed the OpenMed application suite based on Sun Java technology computing standards. The strength, scalability, security and outstanding performance of the Sun technology platform is ideal for customers wanting to take advantage of e-Business solutions designed specifically for clinical healthcare delivery.

"Sun Microsystems is pleased to welcome eHealthEngines to Sun's iForce Ready Center community," said Darryl Parker, senior director for Sun Microsystems application market development. "Sun and eHealthEngines agree the key to building a successful ehealth infrastructure is to start at square one, with the customer's own business processes, and devise a detailed road map to reach their e-business destination. The iForce Ready Center is a proven methodology for incorporating Sun's open Internet technologies from start to finish, and delivers a proof-of-concept for visible, tangible and measurable results. Working with eHealthEngines, Sun will provide one stop shopping for those healthcare providers that recognize the value of their ebusiness applications."
