Southern California Physicians Managed Care Services Selects MedVentive as their Strategic HIT Partner

Initiative and Innovation - SCPMCS Takes Proactive, Unified Approach to Care
Improvement - Delivering High Quality and Lowered Costs while Supporting
Different Healthcare Models
WALTHAM, Mass. and SAN DIEGO--(Business Wire)--
Southern California Physicians Managed Care Services (SCPMCS) announces the
selection of MedVentive as its partner to provide a unified platform for
assessing clinical and business drivers that will improve quality of care and
lower costs. SCPMCS is a management services organization (MSO) located in San
Diego.It serves the business needs of several regional IPAs and Medical Groups.

Joyce Cook, CEO of SCPMCS, said, "In analyzing our existing tools, we realized
we needed a more comprehensive technology solution beyond IHA/P4P or
point-specific tools in order to support our strategic mission for the next five
years.A key challenge as we all know is that proof of the value of the delegated
model has lagged behind expectations.Fundamentally, however, having a single
primary physician with overall responsibility for a patient`s well being makes
sense to improve health and reduce escalating healthcare costs.MedVentive was
the clear choice with a proven ROI for improving quality of care and reducing
costs.In addition, their platform provides the flexibility for us to react and
adapt to shifting models in the healthcare market as we all try to solve the
healthcare crisis."

MedVentive provides the experience, tools, and technology to help SCPMCS achieve
their goals through

§A single platform to support clinical integration that allows them to expand
management to all products

§Severity adjusted data to gain accurate insight into physician performance
andpractice variations

§Proactive population management programs

§Robust reporting and analytics

§Quality initiatives (improving IHA scores and guideline compliance)

The MedVentive platform provides a comprehensive solution for effective patient
care at each physician`s office and among geographically dispersed physician
offices.The system promotes a true proactive, transparent, and collaborative
care environment that includes, in addition to the physicians, their IPAs and
Medical Groups, the MSO, and their health plans.

"SCPMCS wants a strategic solution to meet today`s pressing business challenges
that will also help them stay competitive in the ever-shifting healthcare
market.Using a single platform to drive collaborative care among providers and
to share clinical best practices results in high quality performance and reduces
costs," states Dr. Jonathan Niloff, CEO of MedVentive."MedVentive serves a
diverse group of clients.Although all receive a universal set of benefits from
implementing our solutions, one of our key strengths is our ability to focus on
the uniqueness of each of our clients.We are looking forward to helping SCPMCS
successfully meet their specific business goals that will distinguish them in
their market."
