3M Teams With LanVision To Offer Integrated Remote Coding and
Abstracting.
=============================================================

SALT LAKE CITY--(BW HealthWire)--Dec. 4, 2001
  • Integrated Products Address Industry Work Force Shortage;
Improve HIM Workflow and Productivity -

3M Health Information Systems, a division of 3M, announced today it
has signed a letter of intent to enter into a strategic business
alliance with LanVision Systems Inc., (Nasdaq:LANV). Under the planned
distribution agreement, 3M Health Record Management Software for
medical records abstracting will be embedded into LanVision's
codingANYware remote coding product with both software products
working seamlessly to code and abstract the medical record during the
same remote, web-enabled coding session. The agreement also provides
for mutual referral and marketing programs.
Bruce Eklund, Data Innovation business unit manager for 3M Health
Information Systems, says that the agreement with LanVision represents
an innovative solution to the health information management (HIM)
industry's critical shortage of trained coders and abstractors. "By
providing 3M's market-leading abstracting system to companies like
LanVision, we can make it possible for customers to abstract medical
records from any off-site location," Eklund says. "We believe that a
fully integrated coding and abstracting capability available outside
the walls of the hospital will help HIM departments greatly improve
recruitment of skilled coders, many of whom prefer to work from home.
And for HIM directors, it can be an effective tool for improving data
quality and enhancing coder productivity."

According to Brian Patsy, president and CEO of LanVision, software
products available today do not provide a comprehensive remote coding
and abstracting solution. "LanVision recognizes that coding is not the
only function required to complete the reimbursement process; final
abstracting of the patient chart must be performed before a bill can
be generated," says Patsy. "3M's strong reputation for market-leading
coding and abstracting products, and LanVision's wealth of experience
in document imaging and workflow solutions, make for a truly
integrated remote coding and abstracting product. We believe it will
maximize the efficiency of remote coding operations and streamline
billing, thereby reducing a health care organization's accounts
receivable."
Using LanVision's codingANYware product, medical record documents are
scanned; the document image is then stored and available for secure
viewing via the Internet. As the coder or abstractor reviews the
chart, they access a data collection screen available with 3M Health
Record Management software in order to abstract the record. The remote
coder then codes the record, assigns the DRG and, if desired,
completes a coding compliance review. Once the medical record is coded
and abstracted, data is downloaded to the hospital's existing on-site
abstracting system using LanVision technology. If the hospital uses
the 3M Health Record Management abstracting system, data will be
stored in the system for reporting. For hospitals that do not license
the 3M abstracting system, a reporting capability is available for
monitoring and measuring work force productivity.

3M Health Record Management Software is part of a comprehensive suite
of software applications using Health Data Management technology that
provides integrated solutions for patient data abstracting,
utilization and quality management, as well as the JCAHO ORYX and core
measures initiatives. These software applications, used in conjunction
with the 3M Coding and Reimbursement System, are designed to help
health care organizations meet government regulations and
accreditation standards, and help influence outcomes and resource
utilization.
LanVision is an Electronic Medical Records solution provider and a
leading supplier of Healthcare Information Access Systems that utilize
the power of the Internet/intranet to link hospitals, physicians,
