Announces Open Source Content Management Strategy
Salt Lake
City, UT, February 21, 2007—Medicity
today announced it will provide portal applications
and support to healthcare organizations for an open
source, content management system. Medicity’s
portal offering, called ProAccess CMS, combines the
Company’s healthcare expertise with open source
technology to help organizations address the communication
requirements of employees, patients, and consumers.
Medicity will market
its library of modules and applications to healthcare
organizations for developing cost-effective managed
content for both public and private web portals. The
company has converted all of its most popular modules
from their proprietary infrastructure for deployment
on the DotNetNuke open source framework.
For organizations
facing the high price of commercial content management
solutions, Medicity’s announcement gives them
a viable open source alternative with a menu of affordable,
sophisticated, and proven applications. Medicity will
host a new web site to support its strategy. The site
will feature the exchange of ideas, questions and
answers and sharing of self-developed modules supported
by the open source user community.
“Many of our
clients spend significant time and resources building
their various portals for the consumer, employee,
and patient.” says Kipp Lassetter, Medicity
CEO. “We believe by dramatically lowering the
cost of ownership of content management infrastructure,
healthcare organizations will be able to focus their
resources on more strategic clinical data access and
integration initiatives designed to improve patient
care.”

ProAccess CMS and its open source foundation, please

The site will offer details about DotNetNuke and the
ProAccess CMS modules, including commonly asked questions
and an open forum to post messages. Interested organizations
can register for a log-in to the ProAccess CMS demonstration
site to begin using the product today.
For organizations interested in traditional
vendor implementation and support for their content
management systems, Medicity will continue to provide
cost-effective professional services including project
management, development, graphic design, help desk
support, and hosting.
ProAccess CMS is a major component
in the Medicity line of products that manages the
complex issues of clinical data integration between
legacy systems within a healthcare enterprise and
in cross-enterprise care communities. The complete
Medicity product offering includes both MediTrust
infrastructure and ProAccess clinical application
components.

New Orleans from February 26 through March 1, where
