New Patient Safety Measures Accelerated TheraDoc(R) Growth in 2007

Continued Sales of Standards-Based TheraDoc Technology Driven by
National Trends and Measures to Improve Quality and Safety of
Healthcare
SALT LAKE CITY--(Business Wire)--
TheraDoc, Inc., a Salt Lake City-based clinical informatics
company that develops and implements real-time electronic surveillance
and expert clinical decision support systems designed to enhance
medical decision making saw significant growth in 2007.

The Company's rapid revenue growth has been driven in part by a
broad range of healthcare organizations choosing TheraDoc as their
preferred knowledge solution. These organizations range from small
forward looking rural hospitals to large and complex academic and
multi-facility healthcare organizations, all looking for the best
technologies to aid in their pursuit of medical excellence. Many of
these facilities are recognized as healthcare quality leaders by the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Joint
Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (JCAHO), the
Pennsylvania Health Care Cost Containment Council (PHC4), and other
healthcare quality groups. These hospitals have chosen to implement
the TheraDoc clinical decision support solutions, including TheraDoc's
Expert System Platform(R) (ESP), the Infection Control Assistant(R)
(ICA) Antibiotic Assistant(R) (AA), Adverse Drug Event Assistant(R)
(ADEA), Clinical Alerts Assistant(R) (CAA), Rounds Assistant(R), (RA),
Intervention Assistant(R) (IA) and EZ Alerts Assistant(TM) (EZA).

The real-time surveillance, identification, guidance, bench
marking, and reporting technologies developed by TheraDoc help
hospitals prevent and control infections, alert clinicians to adverse
events and changes in patient condition, select evidence-based
treatments and meet state-mandated reporting of hospital-acquired
infections (HAI). They also help organizations reduce the associated
costs and improve financial outcomes.

New Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) reimbursement
guidelines along with increasing state - and federally - mandated
reporting requirements in 2007 added to provider initiatives to drive
demand for TheraDoc technologies, a trend that is expected to continue
as these same market forces strengthen and accelerate in 2008. For
example, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania became the first state to
pass legislation (ACT 52) requiring hospitals to adopt an electronic
surveillance for infectious disease prevention and control. This
initiative and the CMS non-reimbursement of costs associated with
eight never events (three infectious diseases) resulted in a 68
percent increase in number of hospitals licensed for TheraDoc
solutions in Pennsylvania.

Hospitals in 30 states and the District of Columbia have licensed
TheraDoc technology to provide continuous patient-safety surveillance
and real-time, patient-specific advice for tens of thousands of beds
and close to 30 million inpatients and outpatients. Clients using the
TheraDoc technology platforms include academic medical centers,
community hospitals, children's hospitals, cancer specialty
facilities, VA Hospitals and integrated delivery networks.

2007 Milestones at a Glance

On May 1, 2007, the United States Patent and Trademark Office
(USPTO) issued US patent 7213009 for "Systems and methods for
manipulating medical data via a decision support system" and on June
12, 2007, the USPTO awarded TheraDoc a second patent, US patent
7230529, for "System, method, and computer program for interfacing an
expert system to a clinical information system."

Version 4.0, the newest release of the TheraDoc Expert System
Platform(R) (ESP) was designed and has been launched to meet the
security and functional requirements of multi-facility and IDN
customers through enhanced data access, security, scalability, and
reporting features. This software is currently installed or is being
implemented in five of TheraDoc's many IDN clients, representing 35
hospitals, with 11 in production, including CHS, Lifespan-Rhode Island
Hospital, and OSF.

The University of Utah - Public Health Program, one of the top 10
programs of its kind in the country, entered a long-term partnership
with TheraDoc to support the University's Public Health curriculum.
The TheraDoc Public Health Education Endowment, a $10,000 gift, was
contributed to teach core courses in the University's Public Health
and to bring in a distinguished lecturer each year as the endowment
grows.

TheraDoc sponsored a Webinar hosted by Healthcare Informatics with
information presented by CMS and UPMC that addressed quality of care
and Medicare reimbursement changes to help hospitals understand the
impact of the latest Medicare changes and the role IT can play in
helping to reduce and prevent hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) and
other medical errors. During the original live broadcast, nearly 1,000
healthcare professionals from a variety of hospital departments,
including hospital CIO's, risk managers, quality improvement staff, IT
managers, CFO's, infection control practitioners, Medicare/Medicaid
compliance staff, chief medical officers, and other C-level
executives, were educated about the recent Medicare hospital
reimbursement reforms.
