CliniComp Intl Selected as Inpatient Clinical Documentation Solution Provider for Military Health System

New Contract Adds 36 Military Treatment Facilities, Significantly Expanding
Current CliniComp System Installations for the Department of Defense
SAN DIEGO--(Business Wire)--
CliniComp Intl., a global provider of enterprise-wide clinical documentation
systems specializing in high acuity documentation and surveillance, announced
today a new contract with the Department of Defense (DoD) to deploy its
Essentris inpatient clinical documentation solution in 36 additional military
treatment facilities (MTFs). The new contract more than doubles CliniComp's
current installations for the DoD, expanding the company`s role as the DoD-wide
provider of inpatient clinical documentation solutions for the clinical areas of
the Military Health System (MHS) across the Army, Navy and Air Force. The
Essentris solution deployment is expected to be completed within 18-24 months.
CliniComp is currently completing an initial installation under this contract in
each of the Army, Navy, and Air Force health services to meet a September 30th
Congressional mandate.

"This is the first time an integrated delivery network this large has
standardized -- throughout all clinical areas -- on one clinical system," said
Alan Portela, CliniComp chief operating officer. "More than two decades ago,
CliniComp was the first to offer an intelligent, inpatient clinical
documentation system that delivers 100 percent uptime for complex hospital and
health system environments such as those that exist within high acuity care
areas, and we continue to deliver high performance, scalable solutions that meet
the needs of our commercial and government customers. This award further
validates not only our strong performance in our existing installed base within
the Military Health System (MHS), but also highlights the continued success in
our efficient implementation and deployment processes."

CliniComp`s Essentris system is a multidisciplinary suite of solutions comprised
of intelligent, inpatient clinical documentation; computerized physician order
entry (CPOE); and decision support tools for hospitals with both low and high
acute care specialties and complex environments including military treatment
facilities, academic medical centers and integrated delivery networks. The
CliniComp system streamlines clinical workflows and simplifies access to unified
patient data. Through this data integration, the company`s technology
contributes toward building a true longitudinal patient health record.

Adds Portela, "The Department of Defense consistently leads the industry in
technology adoption to ensure delivery of high quality care and patient safety.
Many commercial health systems will be looking to them for guidance as they
follow the steps outlined within the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of
2009 (ARRA) for EHR and supporting healthcare technology deployments."

"With CliniComp`s commitment to providing secure access to vital patient data
across the MHS` complete care continuum, this award moves the DoD one step
closer to realizing a comprehensive approach in the care delivery for our
wounded warriors," says Portela. "As a company - and as a country - we want to
continue to support and improve care for our wounded warriors. With CliniComp as
the standard for inpatient clinical documentation across the MHS, we are ready
and able to ensure that the medical records of wounded warriors accompany them
from the battlefield to the hospital to their safe discharge."
