* Solution enables health plans to increase automation and efficiency
* Technology features enhanced case, disease and utilization management
functionalities
* MEDecision fortifies its commitment to its customers and the health IT
industry

WAYNE, Pa.--(Business Wire)--
MEDecision, Inc., a leading provider of collaborative health care management
solutions, today announced the availability of Alineo 2.0, the newest version of
its Alineo collaborative health care management platform. The release continues
MEDecision`s growing momentum in the marketplace and reinforces its commitment
to technical innovation that facilitates nationwide health care reform
initiatives.

Alineo 2.0 allows health plans to optimize automation and efficiency in the
delivery of care management programs while fostering a more member-centric,
whole-person approach. It is designed to help maximize the effectiveness of
case, disease and utilization management initiatives by simplifying integration
with other internal and external medical management systems. As such, Alineo 2.0
provides health plans with a powerful, yet simplified resource that can support
business growth by streamlining operations, controlling medical and
administrative costs and strengthening business processes while improving the
overall quality of care.

"The release of Alineo 2.0 signals MEDecision`s continued strength and
leadership in the market," said Scott A. Storrer, president and COO at
MEDecision. "We`re very pleased to be able to continue our development
initiatives and reinforce our commitments both to our customers and to the
advancement of the industry even during weak economic times. We`re confident
that Alineo 2.0 will facilitate business processes for our customers that will
enhance their medical management value proposition and enable top-line revenue
growth."

Among Alineo 2.0`s various enhancements for increased automation and efficiency
are a Comprehensive Member View that presents a dynamic summary of a member`s
care management history, and an interface with Milliman® CareWebQI®, which
enables Alineo 2.0 to provide advanced gaps-in-care identification and related
intelligence. Other features include:

* Seamless integration with MEDecision`s Nexalign iEXCHANGE® technology
* Integrated role-based security
* Advanced utilization management capabilities
* A simplified user interface
* An enhanced clinician workflow
* Support for National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) reporting and
compliance tracking

In addition, Alineo 2.0 features an extensible design that enables it to adapt
to and accommodate an organization`s changing technical needs.

MEDecision initially introduced the Alineo platform last year and has since
implemented the technology with three major customers, each of which is planning
to migrate to Alineo 2.0. One of the most advanced technologies of its kind
currently available, Alineo gives health care organizations a simplified and
smart process for analyzing data to identify high-risk patients. It then
enhances this information with clinical intelligence and automates the
administration of health care programs and best practices. Alineo features a
simplified user experience to enhance workflow, efficiency and overall
productivity - all while maintaining an organization`s business rules and
practices.
