MedNet Solutions Certified to Score SF-12v2 Health Survey

QualityMetric recognizes MedNet Solutions as the first QM Certified Scoring
Partner for clinical trials

LINCOLN, R.I., April 7 /PRNewswire/ -- QualityMetric Incorporated announced
today that MedNet Solutions, a global life sciences company specializing in
clinical study management systems, is the first company to qualify as a QM
Certified Scoring Partner. QualityMetric developed the QM Certified Scoring
Partner program to address a major concern for many in the life sciences
industry - the accuracy and integrity of patient-reported outcome(PRO) data.

Survey administration mix-ups, data entry mistakes, and mathematical miscues
are a few of the common errors in administering PROs during clinical trials.
These kinds of errors have cost companies millions and delayed the
introduction of new treatments. While PROs are powerful tools that provide
valuable and necessary clinical trial data, simple formatting errors or minor
programming mistakes can easily lead to incorrect survey scores and
misinterpreted results.

"When it comes to measuring health outcomes, the intake, scoring, and
reporting of unimpeachable PRO data is crucial to QualityMetric and our
clients. Toward this end, we developed the QM Certified Scoring Partner
program to recognize industry leaders with the same commitment to excellence,"
says Gus Gardner, President and COO of QualityMetric. "We are proud to
announce that MedNet Solutions is the first life sciences company to qualify
for this program."

MedNet Solutions is "QM Certified" for survey administration, data scoring,
and reporting of the SF-12v2(R) Health Survey. QualityMetric has determined
that MedNet is administering the survey forms appropriately, has the latest
and most accurate scoring algorithms in place, and is using QualityMetric's
standardized reports.

"MedNet is proud to be QualityMetric's first Certified Scoring Partner,"
stated John M. (Rob) Robertson, President and CEO of MedNet Solutions. "Our
certification underscores MedNet's commitment to providing our biopharma and
medical device customers with flexible, easy-to-use, and high quality clinical
study solutions that encompass all vital clinical data, including
patient-reported outcomes."
