Medicity Announces Open Source Content Management Strategy

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."

To learn more about ProAccess CMS and its open source foundation, please visit http://cms.medicity.com. 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.

Join us at the HIMSS conference in New Orleans from February 26 through March 1, where Medicity will present an overview of the entire product line at the top of every hour (Booth #3153).
