Dynamic Healthcare Technologies Announces Details of Radiology Contract With Marquette General Health System.

LAKE MARY, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 27, 1999--

Dynamic Healthcare Technologies, Inc., (Nasdaq: DHTI) today announced further details about the contract to install their comprehensive suite of radiology solutions at Marquette General Health System in Marquette, Michigan. The contract includes the Dynamic RadPlus radiology information system (RIS), Dynamic PACSPlus picture archiving and communication system (PACS), Dynamic WebSight web-based viewer, Dynamic Optima mammography management system, and Dynamic Talk continuous speech recognition.

Marquette General Health System (MGHS) is upper Michigan's regional medical center and a community hospital for Marquette County. The 400-bed tertiary care hospital provides care in 50 specialties, with more than 250 physicians on staff, and operates Marquette Medical Clinics in seven communities throughout the region. MGHS is the largest of 16 hospital members of the Upper Peninsula Health Care Network (UPHCN), a voluntary organization formed to gain cost savings through group purchasing and the sharing of IT services. Remote UPHCN hospitals are located throughout the rugged 600 mile Upper Peninsula and provide health services for 320,000 residents. The extreme weather conditions, isolation of outlying facilities, and limited consultative services present a significant challenge in the delivery of health care.

In the first phase of their radiology system implementation, MGHS is replacing their current RIS with RadPlus in order to upgrade their functionality and resolve Y2K compliance issues. Functionality will be substantially increased with the additions of Dynamic Optima and Dynamic Talk. Additionally, MGHS will use PACSPlus with WebSight to link with other UPHCN hospitals as well as remote radiologists and referring physicians. This will enable MGHS to provide immediate interpretation of images when there is no radiologist at the outlying facility. WebSight also allows communication of images from one facility to another for comparison or consultation, even if the clinician, radiologist, and patient are in different locations.

In the future, RadPlus can be implemented in other UPHCN facilities, using the existing network infrastructure. Images and reports as well as patient examination information - current and historical - can be communicated throughout the network. The long-term goal is to incorporate radiology images and reports into the UPHCN Universal Results Reporter, a data repository that will be the foundation of an electronic medical record. This strategy will provide for cost effective transfer of clinical information. Clinicians will have rapid access to information essential for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. There is a potential to reduce the number of redundant procedures and save time for patients and clinicians by having information at the desktop.

Mitchel J. Laskey, Dynamic's president and CEO, commented, "We specifically designed our combined RIS/PACS solution to enable "anytime/anywhere" distribution of images with the radiologists' reports as well as current and historical patient and exam information. This is an exciting project because UPHCN's geographic and resource challenges offer a model environment to demonstrate the power, flexibility and scalability of our solution."

Jim Sundberg, CIO at Marquette commented, "We have some very aggressive targets to meet! Dynamic's integrated RIS and PACS give us a tremendous advantage in not having to worry about integrating data and interfacing systems from multiple vendors. This was a major factor in our selection of Dynamic as our radiology vendor."

Dynamic RadPlus is an image-enabled RIS that allows physicians to view images--in conjunction with patient information--at any time from any RIS workstation. RadPlus is voice-enabled through Dynamic Talk continuous speech recognition, which lets radiologists deliver results immediately simply by speaking, editing, and approving reports on-line. Dynamic Optima, an integral component of Dynamic RadPlus, manages mammography functions in the radiology department. Dynamic PACSPlus integrates information from the RIS with images from PACS, and its web-based teleradiology component--Dynamic WebSight-- allows radiologists and other physicians to view radiology images and patient information at any location.
