LSS Data Systems (LSS), was a Minnesota-based medical software and service company that develops products for the physician practice community. LSS was founded in 1982, and since then was a partner of Medical Information Technology (MEDITECH), developing physician practice management and ambulatory electronic health record software. In 2000 and 2001 MEDITECH invested in LSS and in February 2011, acquired complete ownership. LSS became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Massachusetts based company, and announced completion of the merger on January 1, 2014.

History

"Lake Superior Software" was founded in 1982 in Duluth, Minnesota to develop and support physician billing and practice management software. The company developed a national clientele, opened an office just outside Minneapolis in the mid-1980s, and changed its name to "LSS Data Systems." Beginning in 1990, the company's physician practice management system was redeveloped and re-written utilizing a newer programming language called MAGIC first developed by MEDITECH.

LSS began development of additional applications in 1996, complementing its practice management system with an ambulatory electronic medical record. In 2000, both the practice management product and ambulatory EMR were incorporated into a suite of applications for physician practices co-developed with MEDITECH called the Medical and Practice Management (MPM) Suite. In addition to LSS's physician billing and practice management application (PBR) and Electronic Ambulatory Record (EAR), the suite meshes together applications jointly developed with MEDITECH, including scheduling, order management, scanning and a web-based patient portal.

Before designing and developing LSS software, founder Ken Carlson helped integrate the first commercial Cray-1 computer system into the time-sharing network of United Computing Systems, and built one of the first commercial TCP/IP networks as vice president of the University of Minnesota Supercomputing Institute. Carlson also previously supervised an EPA Environmental Research Lab for Computer Services Corporation and, along with two colleagues, founded MRNet--Minnesota's first Internet Service Provider--bringing Internet access to Minnesota businesses and educational institutions.

Joanne Wood, president and chief operating officer--also VP of client services at Meditech, Wood was appointed as president and COO of LSS Data Systems in February 2011 during the company's acquisition.
