Physician Hospital Organization Adopts Cielo Clinic(TM) for Patient-Centered Medical Home

ANN ARBOR, MI, Apr 07 (MARKET WIRE) --
Cielo MedSolutions LLC, a provider of healthcare software and web
applications, continued strong new-customer momentum with the
announcement today that Mercy~Physician Community PHO has licensed the
company's Cielo Clinic(TM) software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering.

The Cielo Clinic product is designed to improve efficiency, increase
revenue and optimize quality in primary care medicine. Customers subscribe
to the web-based application on an annual subscription-fee basis, with
total product costs based on the number of clinicians at a site who are
using the clinical quality management software.

"We were looking for an Internet-based registry system that would enable
us to track all chronic diseases for all our patients," noted Marianna
Webb, M~PC PHO's Executive Director. "After reviewing the available
commercial offerings, we concluded that Cielo Clinic equipped us with the
best tool for chronic disease management and wellness screenings, as well
as for extracting useful centralized reports across multiple practices."

Ms. Webb continued, "A major healthcare quality initiative here in
Michigan and throughout the U.S. is the IPIP (Improving Performance in
Practice) program, which we're proactively adopting here at M~PC PHO.
Implementing Cielo Clinic will help us achieve the IPIP program quality
goals faster and more consistently -- a key motivator for us behind
choosing Cielo.

"Another key driver in our decision," said Webb, "is Cielo Clinic enables
us to track and report on preventive screenings so we can optimally
participate in pay-for-performance programs such as Blue Cross Blue
Shield of Michigan's PGIP (Physician Group Incentive Program)."
