Keane Care DOS Support Ending

NEWS FLASH: December 1, 2007 - Extra, extra, read all about it! K2HealthTech releases the Keane Care DOS Payroll 2007 W-2 Form Service for KeaneCare DOS clients who did not upgrade their payroll software and now need to print W-2 Forms before January 31, 2008.

The End of an Era

On February 9, 2005, Jeff Jordan, the Managing Director of Keane Care in Bellevue, WA, sent a letter to the users of Keane Care's legacy DOS product known as VistaKeane, informing them of the end of support for the product effective December 31, 2005.  With this announcement comes an end to an era where thousands of facilities have used these products successfully over the 25 year life span of the product.

What this Means to Long-time VistaCARE Clients

Facilities using the VistaKeane product, formerly known as VistaCARE prior to Keane's acquisition of CARE Computer Systems in 2000, now have three choices.  They can upgrade to the Windows software provided by Keane Care, they can acquire a comparable software product from another vendor or they can seek alternative sources of software support and continue to use the product.

What this Means to K2HealthTech Clients

Facilities using the VistaKeane DOS support services of K2HealthTech can use our system selection services to find a new software system to replace their old VistaCARE system. Furthermore, K2HealthTech will completely convert their existing data to whatever format is required by the new system. K2HealthTech can also perform a complete workflow analysis of our client's operation to ensure the new system not only works as expected, but also exceeds their expectations. Lastly, K2HealthTech can manage the entire transition process so that productivity remains high and the migration is smooth.

Facilities using the VistaKeane DOS support services of K2HealthTech can also choose to continue to use their existing system for the foreseeable future. This allows our clients to choose when they want to switch to a new system without being forced to do so due to lack of support from the system vendor. Our team is thoroughly versed in the file structure of the system as well as the programming language it is written in and can even add custom programs and reports and otherwise extend the system to meet our clients' needs.
