JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 22, 2001

e-MedSoft.com (AMEX:MED), a leading Application Service Provider (ASP) of comprehensive healthcare portal solutions, today announced the launch of MedTranscription(TM), a leading-edge, secure medical transcription solution that is delivered via the company's innovative Application Service Provider (ASP) model.

Additionally, the company announced that Jacksonville Heart Center (JHC), a customer currently implementing the company's Internet-based MedPractice(TM) solution, has selected MedTranscription(TM) as its primary transcription system.

MedTranscription(TM) solves many of the problems inherent to legacy transcription systems as it answers the needs of physicians, office administrators and transcriptionists by providing unparalleled flexibility and ease of use. In particular, the company's solution provides: 1) A patented, State-of-the-Art Secure Environment for the storage of sensitive medical data. 2) A Dynamic Transcription Workflow System that considerably improves the maintenance and management of medical data. 3) User-Defined `shortcuts' (at the organization, location of service, provider of service, and individual user levels) that decrease unnecessary and mistake prone repetition; and 4) A Medical Spell Check Program that appreciably reduces transcription mistakes by incorporating a 200,000 word natural English and Medical Dictionary to assist the transcriptionist with spelling.

Using MedTranscription(TM), a physician no longer has to dictate every word to complete his or her report, but instead, can provide the transcriptionist with personalized `control words' that, when entered, are automatically replaced with full-text phrases. These `control words' are unique to each physician or location of service and can be managed by the physician or practice administrator.

In addition, MedTranscription(TM) provides the capability to customize entry forms and final reporting to a physician, a specialty, or both. The management of transcription documents from initial recording to final physician approval is more rapidly achieved due to enhanced workflow management. Additionally, communication between the transcriptionist and the medical reviewer is improved as the transcription documents appear in a user's queue for their immediate approval or correction, ensuring that the overall time to completion of a transcribed report is substantially reduced while significantly improving its accuracy.

All of this is accomplished in a secure environment designed to protect the confidential nature of the patient record, whereby no changes can be made to the record once the physician has given final approval to the transcribed report.

MedTranscription(TM) expands the company's suite of e-health solutions in its Medical Business line of products and services, which currently includes: MedPractice - A complete Internet-based practice management solution for physician offices and group practices; MedCredentialing - A solution that enables practitioners to keep their education, legal, work history, and other files updated in real-time, as well as allowing credentialing organizations to verify source data online; and MedPocket - A wireless handheld application that allows practitioners to electronically enter and access crucial information, considerably enhancing productivity and communication.

JHC's Douglas Malie commented: "We needed a solution that would improve the management of our transcription process in a solidly secure environment, and e-MedSoft's MedTranscription(TM) system provides just that. The control word feature will substantially reduce the time our physicians spend on dictation and will greatly improve the accuracy of our reports. The seamless integration of MedPractice(TM) and MedTranscription(TM) was an important part of our decision as well. This strengthens our commitment to our patients to provide them with the best and most cost efficient care possible. e-MedSoft is a valued partner, providing us with innovative solutions that are being designed to improve both our back office and healthcare delivery capabilities."

Commenting on the product launch, John F. Andrews, e-MedSoft.com Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated: "At e-MedSoft, we are keenly focused on bringing to market those products and services that enhance effectiveness and efficiency in the management and delivery of healthcare. By maintaining close relationships with our customers, we are able to develop innovative products and services that satisfy market demands."

Andrews added, "We are pleased to expand our existing relationship with the Jacksonville Heart Center via the launch and implementation of MedTranscription(TM). Follow-on opportunities such as this strengthen the foothold we have with our customers, making for lasting relationships and recurring revenue streams for the company."
