IASIS Healthcare Selects Medicity to Establish
Internet Connectivity Platform and Physician Communication
Network at 15 Hospitals

SALT LAKE CITY, UT — Medicity, a leading innovator in secure e-health solutions, announced today it has signed a three-year agreement with IASIS Healthcare to provide secure Internet communication links between each of its hospitals and its 4,500 affiliated physicians.

Under the terms of the contract, IASIS Healthcare, a hospital and healthcare services company based in Franklin, Tenn., will use Medicity's network to deliver clinical results to physicians through IASIS' existing hospital systems, located in Arizona, Florida, Texas and Utah.

"Medicity will help us achieve optimal efficiencies by offering leading-edge Internet connectivity and services to our community of hospitals and physicians," said Sammy Cantrell, corporate director of information systems at IASIS Healthcare. "Medicity's network uses the Internet to place usable, timely and valuable information securely into the hands of our physicians. And as we seek additional Internet connectivity and services, Medicity's network will be able to accommodate our changing needs--all with a single logon and unbeatable security infrastructure."

Medicity's rollout is already underway in three of IASIS' Florida hospitals. "Our physicians have been asking us for Internet access to our hospital laboratory, radiology, pharmacy dictation and patient demographic data. Medicity has the infrastructure capabilities to provide the connectivity our physicians have been waiting for, including a level of security that exceeds anticipated HIPAA requirements," said Cantrell.

"Medicity's technology supports IASIS' clear vision to utilize innovative technology to provide high-quality of care," said Kipp Lassetter, CEO of Medicity. "With Medicity, IASIS can provide secure, Internet-based access to its existing clinical information systems, helping it avoid the high costs of meeting today's quality and security standards. Web-based clinical information has proven to be a compelling Internet solution for doctors, bringing them to their Medicity desktop multiple times a day."
