DALLAS, Sept. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Major shifts in the
government healthcare market and increasing burdens placed on budgets have
forced many states to change the way they administer state Medicaid
programs.
Affiliated Computer Services (ACS) -- a leader in government healthcare
solutions -- will demonstrate how the innovative use of technology can help
states meet these budget challenges with a presentation during the 2008
Medicaid Management Information Systems (MMIS) Conference to be held Sept.

Coinciding with the conference's theme, "Harmony in Music City," ACS
will present a vendor track session on Sept. 16 on the topic of "A Song for
Program Success: The Three-Part Harmony of Administrative, Financial and
Clinical Services." Attendees will learn how ACS is meeting states' budget
and legislation challenges through the innovative use of technology and
customized, flexible solutions for delivering the right care to the right
people at the right time.
In addition, ACS is presenting on a total of nine panels with 16
speakers during the conference. Specifically, Will Saunders, chief
operating officer and senior vice president for ACS Government Healthcare
Solutions, will present on Sept. 17 on a panel about "The State Roadmap to
EHR."
