Standard Register (NYSE:SR), a leading provider of document and
print management services for healthcare, announced it has signed
an agreement with MedAssets Supply Chain Systems to provide acute
care facilities with assistance in streamlining their document
workflow and transitioning to electronic medical records (EMR).
MedAssets Supply Chain Systems is a wholly owned subsidiary of
MedAssets, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDAS). �EMR offers healthcare providers
the means to improve the quality of care while significantly
reducing costs and shortening the revenue cycle,� said Terrilynn
Cunningham, Vice President of Executive Services for MedAssets
Supply Chain Systems. �By collaborating with Standard Register, we
can help clients build a solid foundation for EMR and realize the
full benefits from their technology investments more quickly.� The
need for EMR readiness services was underlined in a study conducted
by the Boston-based Medical Records Institute between May and July
2007. In this annual survey, which gauges attitudes and opinions
about healthcare information technology (IT), 52 percent of
respondents said that improving clinical processes and workflow
efficiency was a top strategic priority in IT. The Standard
Register agreement will give MedAssets� clients assistance in
auditing, standardizing and streamlining their documents and
processes, addressing all document requirements including content,
access and control. The EMR readiness team develops a roadmap for
migrating documents to EMR, in addition to providing guidance in
managing workflow in an environment where paper and digital
documents co-exist. Standard Register has had a 33-year
relationship with MedAssets Supply Chain Systems, providing
document management services and supplies. It was Standard
Register�s success in assisting healthcare providers, such as
Southeastern Regional Medical Center of Lumberton, NC, move to EMR
that led MedAssets to engage the company�s EMR readiness services.
�We�re pleased to expand our relationship with the MedAssets
organization,� said Dennis Rediker, CEO for Standard Register.
�Together, we have the opportunity to transform processes for
MedAssets healthcare providers and pave the way to better patient
care and operating efficiencies.� About Standard Register Standard
