Psyche Systems Introduces e.lixa™ Hosted Software to Extend and Enhance Existing Laboratory Information Systems
Suite Enables Lab to Seamlessly Add-on Advanced Functionality to Maximize IS Investments

Milford, Mass., November 1, 2004 – Psyche Systems Corp. today announced the availability of e.lixa™ , a suite of hosted applications designed to give new life to hospitals' and clinics' current laboratory information systems (LIS). e.lixa enables the laboratory to maximize its current information systems investments, including legacy software, by seamlessly adding on advanced functionality, such as Web-based outreach and graphical analysis capabilities. With e.lixa, hospitals and private laboratories are able to realize a high return on investment by enhancing their services and improving reimbursement rates, while maximizing their existing IT resources through Psyche's eXerva™ application hosting services.

At its core, Psyche Systems' e.lixa operates a powerful relational database designed to hold all current and historic patient and specimen information. It enables laboratory staff to leverage tools like e.inquiry and e.charts to quickly and easily generate detailed statistical reports and colorful graphs for more meaningful analysis of any parameter recorded by the laboratory. With e.reports and e.orders, physicians can place test orders and receive results online through a secure Web page from any PC. As a hosted service, e.lixa's powerful database is replicated real-time with the laboratory's current LIS database to allow detailed analysis on the most up-to-date patient information captured, and it serves as an off-site data back up

Psyche Systems' customer-guided product development process and long history in delivering leading edge laboratory information systems have led to the creation of e.lixa, which combines advanced functionality with flexible hosting services for a cost-effective, practical laboratory solution. e.lixa enables the laboratory to extend its LIS with enhanced features, including:

• e.charts: easily create patient reports that feature graphical analysis
• e.inquiry: provides fast, flexible ad-hoc search/view of patients and results
• e.manager: dynamically manage a wide range of report parameters
• e.reports: gives physicians secure online access to critical patient information
• e.order: features integrated Medical Necessity for fast, accurate online order entry directly from the physicians office

Offered as a part of Psyche's eXerva hosted services, e.lixa can deliver superior capabilities at a fraction of the cost of a new LIS or even a system upgrade. Laboratories are connected to Psyche Systems' state-of-the-art data center via a secure, private network where Psyche's 24/7 support staff provide comprehensive application and hardware management, technical support, and active information security management by certified professionals. e.lixa enables the lab to maximize IT resources by leveraging its existing technology investments and seamlessly adding powerful new functionality for improved flexibility and utility.
