CPM Resource Center Selected as Clinical Content Provider for Patient Care Planning at Froedtert & Community Health

CPMRC Content and Transformation Process to Help Wisconsin-based Health System Standardize Care and Support Collaboration, Care Documentation and Evidenced-Based Practice

GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan, April 20, 2010 - The CPM Resource Center (CPMRC) (www.cpmrc.com/), an Elsevier
(www.elsevier.com/wps/find/homepage.cws_home) company and leader in
developing clinical practice guidelines for healthcare, today announced that
it will be the clinical content source for patient care plans and clinical
documentation at multiple hospitals of Milwaukee-based Froedtert & Community
Health (www.froedtert.com/home.aspx). This leading Wisconsin hospital
group is composed of Froedtert Hospital, the major teaching hospital of the
Medical College of Wisconsin; Community Memorial Hospital in Menomonee Falls;
and St. Joseph's Hospital in West Bend.

"The choice of CPMRC as the clinical content provider for clinical
documentation and care plans within our electronic health record had the
emphatic endorsement of a wide base of multiple disciplines across the
system," said Kathy Bechtel, Vice President for Patient Care Services and
Chief Nursing Officer at Froedtert Hospital.

"CPMRC is a content source as well as a transformation process that
enhances the hospital system's plan of care process, use of evidence-based
best practices and interdisciplinary teamwork and collaboration," said Mary
Martin, Director of Patient Care Services at St. Joseph's Hospital.

Froedtert & Community Health last year began implementation of the
inpatient Epic EHR. As part of phase two planning for the inpatient clinical
documentation in 2009, a task force of interdisciplinary professionals from
Froedtert, Community Memorial and St. Joseph's launched a collaborative
decision making process to choose the clinical content source for its
inpatient care plans. The hospital system's Epic Executive Management
Committee approved the CPRMC recommendation in December 2009.

"By partnering with CPMRC to implement standardized evidence based
clinical content for care plans and documentation of professional services,
these hospitals will advance evidence-based interdisciplinary care and
collaboration, address requirements of meaningful use and enhance the patient
experience," said Michelle Troseth, MSN, RN, DPNAP, CPMRC's Executive Vice
President and Chief Professional Practice Officer. "Through delivery of
accurate, timely clinical decision support to interdisciplinary knowledge
workers and teams, Froedtert & Community Health is poised to create some of
the best environments in the nation to give and receive care."

Froedtert & Community Health professionals were also eager to participate
in CPMRC's 25-year-old International Healthcare Consortium, where close to
300 hospital members implement an innovative interdisciplinary practice
framework across multiple care settings through interdisciplinary teams. The
CPMRC consortium recently received the 2010 National Academies of Practice
Interdisciplinary Group Recognition Award.

"We believe that CPMRC will increase the efficiency of an integrated plan
of care and result in greater consistency in care at Froedtert & Community
Health," said Teri Lux, Vice President for Patient Care Services and Chief
Nursing Officer at Community Memorial Hospital. "The components of the CPM
framework, including evidence-based content and methods to support integrated
team competency offer a more holistic and robust tool to guide patient care.
CPMRC content has a clear differentiating edge in supporting clinical care
planning and chronic care management."

CPMRC's Point of Care Integrated Solutions(TM), which will serve as
content sources for Froedtert & Community Health's evidence-based
interdisciplinary care plans, features patient profile/history/admission
assessment, patient plan of care, clinical practice guidelines, patient
assessments and interventions, outcome evaluation, professional exchange, and
specific content for newborn, neonatal ICU, pediatric, OB, adult and
geriatric populations.
