HCare1 Release Announcement

Sunday, December 5th, 2004

Carmel based Health Care Systems Corporation announced today the release of HCare1, their integrated long term care administration and processing solution. HCare1 is said to be an ASP (Application Service Provider) based package that runs over the internet (aka: SaaS, Software as a Service).

Company president, Todd Coombes, commented,“We are excited about the release of HCare1 as it provides a new information processing alternative to nursing homes and other long term care facilities. Unlike traditional software, HCare1 does not have an upfront license fee, installation is a breeze since it runs over the internet and ongoing maintenance is easy since we do all the upgrades, nightly backups, etc. This allows us to do what we do best and frees our customers to concentrate on their business instead of technology issues. What we have done, in essence, is to make automated information processing easy and affordable for the entire industry without sacrificing the human touch due to our ongoing commitment to personalized and timely service and support.”

HCare1 is available to long term care facilities on monthly fee basis, is compliant with all government regulations and includes everything necessary to manage residents, process billing, Medicare and Medicaid, manage care and perform financial accounting.
