DocuSys, Inc.
Atlanta - DocuSys, Inc., a market-leading provider of the most innovative systems for anesthesia information management, medication management and presurgical care management, has closed its acquisition of Prompte, LLC. This acquisition creates the most comprehensive solution for perioperative documentation of the clinical events from the time a decision is made to schedule surgery through the postoperative period.

"We are pleased to announce that Dr. David Young, Prompte's founder, will be joining DocuSys as Medical Director, Presurgical Care Management," said DocuSys President and CEO Robert Watson. "This acquisition will allow us to combine the Prompte technology, which has been renamed to the DocuSys Presurgical Care Management System, with our current Anesthesia Information Management System, creating the most extensive anesthesia record available on the market.

DocuSys' Presurgical Care Management System is implemented at Caritas St. Elizabeth's Medical Center in Boston, and Ochsner Health System in New Orleans. This system will provide both hospitals with a web-based, patient-driven health survey for collecting a patient's health history prior to surgery, along with a comprehensive system to manage presurgical patient assessment and readiness for surgery. Both organizations have go-live dates planned for early 2009.
