ORLANDO, Florida, February 16, 2010 - Shared Health, Inc., Tennessee's largest public/private health
information exchange (HIE) has partnered with MEDai, an Elsevier company, to
provide a rich, interoperable, clinically relevant HIE platform to the state
of Tennessee. This partnership delivers best in class solutions and
technologies that support clinical excellence and operating efficiencies. It
comes at a time when stimulus funding is being leveraged to create an
information exchange that helps drive meaningful use of healthcare
information technology and care improvement across the healthcare continuum.

Shared Health(R) Clinical Xchange(R) improves the types of clinical
information available to providers, helping physician practices operate more
efficiently and deliver better overall patient care by bringing
patient-centric information from an entire health care team to the point of
care. By merging key clinical data with administrative data, Clinical Xchange
takes practices "out of the silo" and delivers a comprehensive clinical
decision support solution. Clinical Xchange supports proactive and preventive
health initiatives - disease management, wellness and early intervention.

"Our partnership provides a seamless platform for physicians and other
stakeholders to leverage information across systems and care settings," said
Dr. Bruce Taffel, Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of Shared Health.
"Combined with superior analytics we are providing communities the insight
needed to drive quality and improve patient satisfaction."

MEDai's predictive modeling and evidence-based medicine guideline
compliance capability forms the core of actionable information within Shared
Health's clinical data-sharing platform, Clinical Xchange. This platform
integrates clinical decision support and population management tools to
better inform clinicians and help promote evidence-based guideline compliance
and coordination of care. It is interoperable with any electronic medical
record (EMR) and can create a longitudinal view of the patient drawn from a
variety of sources, including the exam room, the lab, the pharmacy, the payer
and the patient.

"Health information exchange is truly about care coordination and
providing access to clinically relevant information at the point-of-care,"
said Swati Abbott, President and CEO of MEDai. "This collaboration is a
wonderful example of how healthcare information technology can truly be
leveraged to improve the quality and efficiency of care delivery within our
communities."
