/24-7PressRelease/ - May 25, 2005 - MedFORCE Technologies, Inc. announced today that it is introducing a new paperless office application, MedFORCE Forms. MedFORCE Forms is designed to enable DME-HME companies to replace all hand-written forms with digital forms that can be accessed over client networks for auditing and reporting. The company also introduced Version 4.3 of MedFORCE Scan, its flagship product. MedFORCE Scan is the premier HIPAA compliant paperless office solution for the DME-HME industry.
MedFORCE Forms will replace all hand-written forms used due to common data entry challenges faced by many in the DME-HME industry. For example, DME-HME dealers often do patient intake and insurance verification on hand-written forms. This information is subsequently entered into the billing software. While reasons for this manual process vary and might be a result of the inability to obtain the information in the order necessitated by the billing software intake screen, the fact remains that hand-written forms are prevalent in this industry. MedFORCE Forms is designed to re-create all forms on client systems, eliminating the need for any paper/hand-written forms. For MedFORCE Scan users, the form then becomes part of the patient record. MedFORCE Forms can be designed to create forms for various HIPAA and/or compliance audits.
"MedFORCE Forms is a very powerful and flexible tool, providing unlimited options to create fully customized forms that are designed by the user to fit the user's specific needs," explained Esther Apter, CEO of MedFORCE Technologies. "MedFORCE Forms will allow our users to improve productivity and cut costs even more."

• Move Files between Cabinets - allowing documents to be re-filed between cabinets;

"Once again, many of our improvements and additions are the direct result of customer feedback," Ms. Apter added. "It is this consultative approach that has made MedFORCE Scan the leading document imaging solution for the DME-HME industry."
MedFORCE Scan is specifically designed to meet the ongoing challenges of the healthcare industry and uses the latest technologies available in today's digital world.
