DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 16, 2004

Clear Technologies today announced that Cor Specialty Associates of North Texas (CSANT) has chosen Clear's eDOCS application to raise the level of patient care through its ability to generate electronic medical records and customized medical forms. Designed from their signature CRM software and adapted for the Health Care industry, Clear Technologies' eDOCS application proves to be a robust offering that fully automates a physician's entire medical practice. In addition to eliminating the need for transcription services, eDOCS empowers doctors to raise the level of patient care given, which by far is the biggest benefit to any attending physician.

"Having electronic medical records (EMR) and customized hospital forms is an obvious benefit for medical staffs, but to allow patients to view their own medical records in the exam room drives patients to be more proactive in their own healthcare," said Dr. Richard Feingold, Cardiovascular Interventionalist for CSANT.

"More impressive than having electronic medical records on demand is eDOCS' ability to provide patient trend analysis to managed care companies who are looking for Patient Outcome studies for research foundations," said Feingold. "Utilizing the eDOCS application, I can pull patient data from my entire database (over 13,000 records), search for patients with a particular diagnosis and analyze how many of them are using a particular medication."

"We chose Clear's eDOCS application because we were able to integrate our existing electronic medical records database with a solution that provides sophisticated analytics tools -- allowing for more accurate diagnosis research," said Dr. Feingold. Written in HTML and having the ability to be opened from any browser window, eDOCS proves to be versatile for doctors working on call. "For CSANT, having the ability to share patient information (including attached lab results) with other doctors, at any hospital location around the country is true flexibility and a benefit that every attending physician should demand," Dr. Feingold continued.

"eDOCS' open architecture design is going to be the key for providing flexibility to doctors across any medical specialty and one that the medical community will want to invest in, especially with the added benefit of being able to access patient information 24 hours a day, seven days a week," said Mickey Patton, President and COO for Clear Technologies' C2 Division. "The fact that primary care companies are paying at a higher rate for electronic claims is another reason the medical community should take a closer look at our comprehensive eDOCS solution."
