Health Engagement Program to use MEDai's Risk Navigator as Tool in Coordinating Care Delivery

ORLANDO, Florida, April 4, 2011 - AtlantiCare, the largest health system in southeastern New Jersey, will
allow its healthcare providers to better manage patient populations and track
clinical and financial objectives with quality-focused tools from
Elsevier/MEDai, a leading provider of predictive analytic solutions.

AtlantiCare's vision is to build healthy communities. It will use MEDai's
Risk Navigator solutions to provide analytics for its Health Engagement
program, which is positioned to prevent injury and illness, and manage health
risks, chronic illnesses and healthcare utilization. Additionally,
AtlantiCare is part of Premier, a collaborative to design and implement an
Accountable Care Organization (ACO) in New Jersey. ACOs are designed to keep
patients healthy and out of intensive care settings, while simultaneously
shifting reimbursements to be based on quality outcomes and efficiencies.

AtlantiCare will use MEDai's Risk Navigator solutions in conjunction with
its patient-centered medical home model to enhance cooperation and
communication between plan, provider and nurse case managers. Risk Navigator
provides the ability to integrate data from multiple sources and systems and
produce information that is needed to provide proactive patient care.

"The collaborative nature of ACOs is an extremely important step in the
evolution of our nation's healthcare systems," said Clayton Ramsey, COO,
MEDai. "MEDai's predictive analytics and healthcare expertise aid clients in
ensuring they have the necessary resources to make quality, efficient
patient-care decisions based on accurate information."

forecasted prospective high-risk patients to improve patients' health and
quality of care while controlling cost. Risk Navigator Clinical is built to
fit the clinical workflow by wrapping business intelligence around a
member-centric database providing evidence-based medicine guideline
