 has certified that Misys' quality process complies with the requirements of ISO (1) See ISO speed.

(2) (International Organization for Standardization, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iso.ch) An organization that sets international standards, founded in 1946. The U.S. member body is ANSI.
 9001:2000 and ISO 13485:2003 for several products. The renewed certificates cover the design, development, production, installation and servicing. As a result, Misys is able to develop version upgrades faster, with the assurance that its development process is ISO certified, a unique advantage in the industry today.

"We recognize the importance of certifying our quality process in development and production in order to provide effective product upgrade releases quickly, with fewer flaws and faster installation," said Richard Atkin, president of Misys Healthcare Systems Hospital Systems business unit. "Having our processes ISO-certified sets us apart from other industry players, and we are proud to have achieved re-certification. These ISO certificates will be even more valuable if they become requirements, as we've seen with medical devices in Canada."

The BSI Management Systems certificates are valid through January 29, 2008 for Misys Laboratory(TM), with associated modules for Blood Bank and Blood Donor, Microbiology and CoPathPlus(TM); Misys Commercial Laboratory(TM); Misys Radiology(TM); Misys Clinical Financial(TM); Misys CPR Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Definition

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a procedure to support and maintain breathing and circulation for a person who has stopped breathing (respiratory arrest) and/or whose heart has stopped (cardiac
(TM); Misys Data Warehouse(TM) and Misys Insight(TM). This renewed certification, dated April 13, 2006, also covers all Misys locations: Tucson, Ariz.; Plano, Texas Plano (IPA: /ˈpleɪnoʊ/) is a wealthy suburb of Dallas, Texas, located to the north, mainly within Collin County, but also extending into Denton County.

"The outcome of ISO certification is a faster release cycle," said Patrick O'Sullivan, assistant administrator for Laboratory at Florida Hospital in Orlando. "It also means better quality releases that are more stable and have few problems. It is valuable to us as a client as we continue to upgrade our existing Misys systems."
