St. Luke's Hospital Selects Micromedex Information Solutions from Thomson
Reuters for Clinical Decision Support

ANN ARBOR, Mich., May 19 /PRNewswire/ -- St. Luke's Hospital has signed an
agreement to extend its use of Micromedex(R) healthcare solutions from Thomson
Reuters as its key resource for clinical information.

St. Luke's, a 493-bed, not-for-profit hospital in Chesterfield, Missouri,
already makes extensive use of the Micromedex Healthcare Series for drug,
toxicology, disease, alternative medicine, and patient education information.
Under the new agreement, St. Luke's will add clinical decision support tools
from Micromedex to its physician portal and medication reconciliation tools.

"We conducted a comprehensive analysis of five vendors in this market,
evaluating their products on clinical data, technology, and pricing. We found
that Micromedex was the best value proposition for St. Luke's," said Scott
Holtswarth, the hospital's Director of Information Services. "From a technical
perspective, a key differentiator was the ability of Micromedex to integrate
its products with our current technology infrastructure. This includes our
Intranet, bedside medication administration system, and a physician portal we
developed in-house."

"From a clinical perspective, Micromedex is a very timely and comprehensive
resource, which is what clinicians need to make the best clinical decisions
possible," said Richard Fook, St. Luke's Hospital Director of Pharmacy. "It's
also an excellent reference for patient education and medical education.
Clinically, Micromedex offered the most comprehensive drug information
database in a user-friendly format that will enhance our clinical decision
support efforts."
