Medicity, AMICAS Partner To Deliver Diagnostic Images to
More than 10,000 Physicians' Desktops

Ability to securely access and view radiology studies further
strengthens value of Medicity's clinical applications suite

SALT LAKE CITY, UT - Medicity Inc., a leading provider of secure online access to clinical results and applications for healthcare providers, announced today that it is partnering with AMICAS, the fast-growing leader of Web-based medical imaging solutions. This agreement will provide Medicity's 10,000 physician users with AMICAS' full suite of diagnostic image viewing and management capabilities.

Traditionally, radiology images have been stored separately from a patient's record. Under the terms of this agreement, Medicity and AMICAS will co-market their services to imaging centers and hospital radiology departments. As a result, Medicity's customers will be able to securely view radiology images from personal computers connected to the Internet. They will also have access to AMICAS' full suite of image manipulation and management tools.

"Our partnership with AMICAS allows our physician users to access medical images quickly and conveniently throughout the workday," said Kipp Lassetter, CEO of Medicity. "This is another great example of how Medicity offers real value to the working physician, bringing disparate sources of information together in one secure location to promote timely, cost-effective medical decisions."

Medicity and AMICAS share a commitment to using the best technology to help providers make informed decisions and improve healthcare quality while reducing costs. Medicity's vendor-neutral Internet platform improves the delivery of healthcare services by providing convenient, secure access to the vital patient information, communications and applications that physicians need to deliver high-quality care. Medicity can now leverage AMICAS' superior image management services to add a whole new level of functionality and value to its offering.

"Under this partnership, Medicity users gain secure access to full-fidelity diagnostic images of their patients, without the need for multiple passwords and redundant administrative procedures," said Hamid Tabatabaie, CEO and president of AMICAS. "Medicity can deploy our solution immediately over the Internet, enabling their customer base to achieve faster access to radiology images, together with other vital patient-specific data, from their desktops."
