subsidiary, Creative Socio-Medics (Creative), today announced that
it has signed upgrade contracts with 10 clients with a combined

beneficial in many respects. Now these clients will be on a robust
thin-client system with the ability to use wireless, mobile, and
biometric computing technology. They will also be part of a client
base of hundreds of Avatar users that share their best practices,
which enhance the effectiveness of the product for all of the

products evolved over time within the Health and Human Services
Industry. They can be simply described by three factors:
Functionality, Technology, and Decision Support. * Functionality -

Health), Avatar CWS (our award winning Electronic Medical Record),
Avatar MSO (Managed Services Organization), Avatar Methadone
(methadone clinic management system), augmented by best-of breed
departmental solutions. * Technology - All products are available
in current technology deployment options, including: Client/Server,
ASP, and Web Portal. * Decision Support - Best practice protocols
and decision support clinical content databases are available as
product extensions. Such industry standards as the John Wiley &
Sons Treatment Planning libraries embedded in our Clinician
Workstation provides clinicians with point of service guidelines.
All Avatar products are built upon a foundation called Avatar
RADplus, a development environment that supports rapid application
and content configuration without modifying underlying source code,
while updating the database for immediate SQL access. The RADplus
tools are easy to use and do not require specific technical or
programming skills. The client systems being upgraded will use the
RADplus tools to modify screens and tables for their facility's
specific workflow. About Netsmart Technologies, Inc. Netsmart
