MIAMI, Fla., -- AMICAS, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMCS - News), a leader in radiology and medical image and information management solutions, today announced AMICAS Insight Dashboards, a future product representing significant innovation spanning the entire Vision Series suite of products and services. This new product was demonstrated at the Radiology Business Management Association (RBMA) June 4-7 in Miami, Florida.

AMICAS Insight Dashboards is being designed to consolidate information from both operational (e.g. financial or billing) and clinical (e.g. RIS and PACS) systems to provide a comprehensive view of the imaging business. "AMICAS has always offered first-class revenue cycle management capabilities with our Vision Series Financials products," said Mr. Glen Lefeber, vice president financial products group at AMICAS, Inc. "Now with AMICAS Insight Dashboards we are building on those financial capabilities with intuitive Web-based reporting and extending them by integrating financial and clinical data into a single business intelligence and analysis package," added Mr. Lefeber.

AMICAS Insight Dashboards is expected to provide 100% Web-based access to customized, easy to read, graphical data for specific key performance indicators as selected by the end user. These capabilities help hospitals, imaging centers, billing services and any radiology business with a range of analytics related to anything from managing cash flow to projecting reimbursement impacts from their Vision Series Financial platform. By incorporating clinical data from Vision Series PACS and Vision Series RIS, AMICAS Insight Dashboards will have the capability to evaluate clinical factors such as technologist productivity and asset utilization factors such as efficiency of diagnostic imaging equipment.

Mr. Lefeber added, "We believe this to be the first of its kind multi-product business analytical tool. By consolidating the data into a single Web-based reporting package, customers will have immediate real time access to data that we believe has never been available in this format."

Mr. Peter McClennen, president of AMICAS, Inc. said, "Timely business information is critical to any business. With the increasing pressure on radiology businesses, we expect tools such as AMICAS Insight Dashboards to be a huge boost to customers." AMICAS Insight Dashboards are designed to work with stand alone AMICAS products or in a multi-product combination. When configured with multiple applications, AMICAS Insight Dashboards will combine the data into a powerful multi-application tool. AMICAS Insight Dashboards will be available to both hospital and outpatient clients. "With over 600 discrete clients representing hundreds of hospitals and over one thousand imaging centers, we believe this new technology will truly empower a tremendous number of customers with meaningful data and `business intelligence' that will drive better decision making and strengthen their operations," Mr. McClennen added.

AMICAS Insight Dashboards is actively under development by the AMICAS Research and Development team. It is currently scheduled to be generally available in the first half of 2007.
