Clinix Medical Information Services, LLC announced it is expanding its suite of management information solutions for the healthcare market with the acquisition of MedicWare, Inc, a provider of complete, user-friendly and affordable electronic health/medical (EHR, EMR) record software.

Based in Irwindale, California, the MedicWare EMR product, which has been named ClinixMD, offers solutions to both physician groups and medical billing companies. The ClinixMD system enables physicians and their staff to focus on patient needs instead of arduous paperwork. This solution enhances patient care, improves efficiency, increases profitability and helps medical practices stay current and compliant with industry standards and regulations including the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act.

Medical billing companies also reap benefits of this newly acquired true ASP-based EHR/EMR technology. Billing companies can easily integrate this software into their current system, alleviating most technical compatibility issues.

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The acquisition is effective immediately.

"MedicWare's EMR system, which we are branding as ClinixMD, will enhance Clinix's physician practice management solutions by offering a sharp focus on the electronic medical records business. This acquisition allows us to further integrate into our core business of helping physician practices and medical billing companies solve their practice management and billing needs," Clinix president and CEO Jerry Killough said. "We believe this acquisition will bring together pertinent resources to enable healthcare providers to efficiently manage their business."

"Clinix is an industry leader in providing practice management software to healthcare providers, so this acquisition is a natural fit for us," Juswan 'Jay' Ichwan, owner of MedicWare, said. "Our company's electronic medical record tools complement Clinix's suite of products."

Clinix Medical Information Services, LLC, is a leading provider of true ASP-based software, delivering business process and practice management solutions to physician practices and medical billing companies across the country.
