Orthofix International’s Breg Subsidiary Receives 2010 CIO 100 Award

"This year's CIO 100 awards draws well-deserved attention to companies that are not only innovating with IT but creating genuine business value as well," said Maryfran Johnson, Editor in Chief of CIO magazine & Events. "These winning companies and their IT organizations are an inspiration to businesses everywhere."

Orthofix's President and CEO, Alan Milinazzo, said, "It's an honor to be recognized by CIO for our Vision software. We strive to create innovative solutions for our customers and their patients every day, and this award is particularly gratifying since much of Vision software's evolution is the result of collaboration directly with our customers. We share this award with them."

Vision software is part of Breg's Orthopedic Practice Solutions (OPS), a suite of consulting services and tools created specifically for orthopedic surgeons. OPS was designed to enable physicians to set up and manage their own bracing and orthopedic supplies program rather than relying on third parties. As a result, physicians are able to better manage their inventories of medical products and supplies, which can enhance patient care as well as manage costs and generate ancillary revenue for the physician's practice.

The 2010 CIO 100 awards will be presented at the Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, on August 24th at the conclusion of the twelfth annual CIO 100 Symposium(R) and Awards Ceremony.

The recipients of this year's CIO 100 award were selected through a three-step process. First, companies filled out an online application form detailing their innovative IT and business initiatives. Next, a team of judges reviewed the applications in depth, looking for unique practices and substantial results. Finally, CIO editors reviewed the judges' recommendations and voted on the final 100. Once the top 100 honorees were selected, several honorees were chosen to receive an additional special award. The recipients of this special award will be revealed at the CIO 100 awards ceremony in August.

Complete coverage of the 2010 CIO 100 awards will be available online at www.cio.com on June 1, 2010 and in the August issue of CIO magazine.
