         New Application Leverages Proven Safety Platform Providing a Comprehensive
                  Data Infrastructure for Patient Safety Organization (PSO) and
           Participating Healthcare Facility Patient Safety Work Product Management



Quantros, a leading provider of safety, quality, and compliance solutions for the healthcare in-
dustry, today announced the release of Quantros Patient Safety Organization Manager (PSOM).
This new application provides a comprehensive, flexible data infrastructure to support the data
aggregation and management requirements for organizations seeking PSO certification.


Quantros has leveraged its clinical expertise and proven technology platform to offer Quantros
PSOM. This application was designed specifically for use in supporting the data infrastructure re-
quirements that are a critical component of PSO certification. Quantros PSOM provides a turnkey
solution for collection, management, and analysis of Patient Safety Work Product (PSWP) data as
well as data submission to the Network of Patient Safety Databases (NPSD).


Quantros PSOM enables rapid implementation of the required data infrastructure with a field
tested, proven system. The core infrastructure of this solution has been in use for over 5 years
by more than 800 healthcare facilities as part of the Quantros Safety and Risk Management
(SRM) Suite of Applications.


“One of the key requirements of organizations desiring PSO status is the ability to provide a
secure, means for aggregation, management, submission, and analysis of patient safety event
data from participating healthcare facilities” said Chris Bethell, Vice President of Marketing and
Product Management for Quantros. “Quantros PSOM provides this and more in a complete,
configurable, and scalable solution.”

                                               (over)
Quantros PSOM provides the most comprehensive software solution available in the market
today. With Quantros PSOM PSO’s gain a host of benefits including:


      • A secure, HIPAA compliant system that automatically extracts and isolates PHI and other
        confidential data so only those in certain roles with certain permissions are able to view
        the data
      • A powerful administration module that allows the PSO to easily set-up, activate and
      manage participating organizations in the PSO
      • The ability to aggregate facility data in a variety of ways including:
               o Automatic transfer of PSWP data from those using Quantros SRM into Quantros
                PSOM
               o An easy PSWP data upload process for healthcare facilities using either
                internally developed or commercial systems other than Quantros SRM
               o Making available an API that can be licensed by 3rd party vendors for
                   transmission of PSWP data into Quantros PSOM
               o A fast and efficient data entry screen for manual capture of PSWP data
      • A submission module that can both generate completed forms for submission of PSWP
        data to the NPSD as well as the ability to transmit that data automatically once the
        NPSD provides an electronic submission avenue
      • A medium to efficiently distribute knowledge content and best practice information to
        participating healthcare facilities
      • A full complement of reports with the ability to save specific parameters as well as
        AD-Hoc reporting for use in report generation and data analysis at both a facility and at
        a multi-tiered, aggregate facility level


Quantros PSOM is in use today and available for organizations seeking PSO certification. For
