SSI Group to Integrate Boston Software Systems' Boston WorkStation Into
ClickON PREVENT

Combined Solution Sets New Standard in More Efficient Registration and Revenue
Cycle Management Processes

MOBILE, Ala., May 19 /PRNewswire/ -- The SSI Group, Inc. (SSI) announced today
that it has agreed to partner with Boston Software Systems to offer an
enhancement to an SSI product. SSI's ClickON(R) PREVENT (Precise Registration,
Edit Validation and Enterprise Tracking) will be powered by Boston Software
Systems' flagship workflow automation technology Boston WorkStation(TM) to
provide a new workflow solution that will enhance the registration process and
expedite revenue cycle management.

ClickON(R) PREVENT is a Web-based, revenue cycle product that currently
enables healthcare facilities to avoid registration errors and reduce denials
through real-time HL7 transactions in eligibility, compliance, authorizations
and referrals. It works in four different phases of the patient's stay
including Registration/Admissions/Scheduling, Order Entry, Medical Records and
Pre-Billing. The new integrated product will permit users to access immediate
correction information during each phase instead of at the completion of each
phase.

"Reducing errors and improving claims management have become top priorities
for healthcare providers. We chose to partner with SSI because PREVENT, unlike
other systems does the work upfront. SSI is bringing its back-end scrubbing
expertise and edit suites to the registration area, where most of the billing
errors are made," said Steve Cohen, Chief Operating Officer of Boston Software
Systems. "Integrating the power of Boston WorkStation enhances real-time
decision support for registrars and reduces the errors that cause insurance
payment denials or delays. SSI Group will be able to offer a stronger, more
efficient product to its customers."

"PREVENT was designed to correct errors after each phase through an HL7 feed,"
said Bobby Zimmerman, Assistant Vice President of Channel Sales for SSI. "We
found several customers who wanted the error information to show up
immediately so the user making the error could correct it in real-time.
Boston WorkStation gives us the ability to produce the immediate resolution
those users desire at the earliest point in the patient encounter. It has been
a great collaborative effort between SSI Group and Boston Software Systems."
