Business Editors and Health/Medical Writers

CARROLLTON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 28, 2002

Millbrook Corporation, a premier provider of physician practice management software, announces that the Arizona Heart Institute (AHI), Arizona's largest outpatient cardiovascular care clinic, has licensed Millbrook Practice Manager(TM) and will begin implementing Millbrook's award-winning application in all 13 AHI locations across the state in early 2003.

With Millbrook Practice Manager, AHI's 300-member staff will integrate their myriad administrative tasks into one Windows-based system that provides scheduling, billing, patient information, inventory control, and scanning as well as certain EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) functions including submission and processing of insurance claims.

The Arizona Heart Institute & Foundation, founded in 1971 by the internationally renowned cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Edward B. Diethrich, was the United States' first freestanding outpatient clinic dedicated to the prevention, detection, and treatment of disorders of the heart and blood vessels. Today, AHI has a medical staff of more than 30 physicians and board-certified specialists, including cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, vascular surgeons, and electrophysiologists, specializing in advanced non-surgical, interventional therapies that replace traditional scalpel and suture treatments. As a leader in the development of these new technologies, the Arizona Heart Institute has an international reputation for excellence.

"As a specialty clinic at the forefront of cardiovascular expertise, the Arizona Heart Institute offers more services than ever before and relies on the latest and most sophisticated technology available. We strive to be equally expert in the management of our business," said Dr. Edward B. Diethrich, AHI's Medical Director and Founder. "Millbrook Practice Manager offers a completely integrated system that complements our existing technology and streamlines the administration of our practice, enabling the entire staff to focus even greater attention on patient care and comfort, which is our purpose at the Arizona Heart Institute."

The Arizona Heart Institute & Foundation is a prestigious healthcare organization whose administrative procedures will now be as sophisticated as the medical treatment offered," said Michael Nissenbaum, CEO and president of Millbrook. "With the implementation of Millbrook Practice Manager in their clinics, Arizona Heart can boast some of the country's most highly trained medical office staff working with state-of-the-art technology."
