Today, Physicians Health Services Inc. (PHS), headquartered in Trumbull, Conn., is one of the nation's largest, publicly-held IPA model HMOs. But in 1977, when it became operational, only four percent of Americans were covered under HMOs, and file cabinets and manual processes were the status quo in healthcare operations. Fortunately for us, PHS has forward thinking directors and executives who saw the value of introducing an image-based operations management system into our organization.
