February 15, 1994 -- MOBILE, AL - Professional Data Management, Inc. (PDM)
of Mobile, Alabama, introduces "HouseCalls," an innovative new PC-based
program that incorporates a graphical appointment scheduler with a
state-of-the-art digital voice board to make prerecorded telephone calls
to patients. With just a PC and a telephone, HouseCalls can offer the
medical and dental professions a personal, reliable, economical and easy
way to schedule and confirm appointments with patients.

"Today's economic and political environment forces the professional health
care provider to increase profits by increasing productivity," said W.
Neil Armentrout, president of PDM. "Eliminating the empty waiting room of
"no shows" and cancellations is one of the fastest, most effective ways to
increase profits. Missed appointments reduce practice efficiency and
profitability. The HouseCalls' program can help overcome this problem,"
continued Armentrout. "Using office staff members to confirm appointments
by telephone can be helpful, but it is time consuming and difficult
because many patients cannot be reached during normal working hours.
HouseCalls can be programmed to call any date and any time," concluded
Armentrout.

When an appointment slot is created with a click of the mouse, HouseCalls
already knows certain unique elements about the appointment. It knows the
day, the date, the time, the patient name, and the doctor. It then takes
these known variables and merges them (very similar to a mail merge) with
other prerecorded elements (greetings, subjects and endings) of a message.
What results is a complete natural sounding message that can be delivered
to a patient at any time.

HouseCalls contains two main segments, the Voice Manager and the Scheduler.
The Voice Manager software segment combines with a high quality digital
voice board installed in a PC compatible and a regular touch-tone
telephone line. This board produces quality voice reproduction without the
artificial sound of the traditional computer-generated telephone message.
The Voice Manager segment utilizes a database of user-recorded message
elements to construct unique, personalized messages using the voice of the
doctor or any of his staff. These message elements, once recorded, are
stored in a database and used over and over again to construct
individualized and personal messages.

The scheduler portion of HouseCalls is a full-featured professional
scheduler. It may be configured for varied appointment intervals, multiple
exam rooms and multiple caregivers. It provides a graphical "point-and
shoot" method of selecting, searching and scheduling appointments. Full
reporting on scheduling, as well as, calling activity is supported on
laser and dot matrix printers.

User-friendly and easy to learn and operate, HouseCalls can immediately
increase the productivity and profits of almost any doctor or dentist. At
a suggested retail price of $1,295 for the hardware and software
combination, it will pay for itself in a matter of months. HouseCalls is
available from PDM, Inc. at 1-800-644-4266.
