Masonic Homes of California Selects Health Care Software, Inc. (HCS) INTERACTANT

Farmingdale, NJ (April 2003) - Health Care Software, Inc. (HCS) is pleased to announce its recent contract award with Masonic Homes of California, Union City, CA. Masonic Homes of California will implement HCS INTERACTANT at its Union City and Covina, California, sites.

HCS INTERACTANT combines application functionality with the scalability of the IBM DB2 Universal Database and the eServer iSeries platform. With INTERACTANT, Masonic Homes of California gains a powerful enterprise information system that streamlines resident management, census reporting and clinical operation functionality. INTERACTANT will improve facility workflow and provide real-time access to information for the entire organization.

Masonic Homes of California chose INTERACTANT for its ability to "function well in multi-site, multi-department facilities comparable in size and complexity to ours," states Jack Liu, Masonic Homes of California's Director of M.I.S. "Although we are still in the implementation stage, we have already received very good support from HCS. We look forward to furthering our relationship."
