Los Angeles, CA (February 11, 2009) –

Zynx Health, the leader in evidence-based healthcare, today announced an agreement with Advanced Data Systems Corporation (ADS) to include Zynx evidence-based clinical decision support in MedicsDocAssistant Electronic Health Records (EHR) Software.

Per the agreement, ADS will embed Zynx AmbulatoryCare(TM) into MedicsDocAssistant, an industry-leading, full-featured EHR package. Zynx AmbulatoryCare is a suite of clinical decision support content that includes evidence-based clinical recommendations, order sets, performance measure checklists, alerts, and reminders. Updated every six months, the content covers more than 100 diseases and conditions.

“This relationship will bring evidence-based clinical decision support to the point of care,” said Derek Baird, director of business affairs for Zynx. “Providers using MedicsDocAssistant will benefit from order sets, health maintenance checklists, and other decision support presented automatically as part of their natural clinical workflow.”

MedicsDocAssistant presents a dynamically powerful EHR solution. The primary advantages ADS clients enjoy are improved quality of care, documentation, and security; increased efficiency; reduced documentation expenses; and a likelihood of reduced malpractice insurance premiums. MedicsDocAssistant, which is CCHIT-certified, has several key features including an encounter-based model, where integrated facilities are provided for organizing patient encounter data, inserting handwritten notes, including transcripts, and easily accessing glossaries of medical terms.

“We are excited at the opportunity to join hands with Zynx Health to improve the operational efficiencies of medical practices,” said Surya Kuchimanchi, principal at MedicsDocAssistant. “This will be a natural extension of our 2008 CCHIT-certified EHR product. The alliance with Zynx will incorporate evidence-based knowledge to effectively improve patient care, increase safety and efficiency, and reduce costs.”
