KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 29, 2002

Precyse Solutions is the Choice of the Industry's Elite for

Health Information Management, Clinical Coding and

Cancer Registry Outsourcing

Precyse Solutions, an industry leader in health information management (HIM) services, announced today that they are the outsourced HIM services vendor for four out of the top five 'America's Best Hospitals' as ranked by U.S. News and World Report.

The four facilities--Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Cleveland Clinic and Massachusetts General Hospital--have each contracted with Precyse for assistance in various areas, including interim HIM management, coding supervision, onsite coding and cancer registry abstracting. The 'America's Best Hospitals' list was also posted online with WebMD and was accessible through AOL's popular health information links.

Both Mayo Clinic and Johns Hopkins Hospital have utilized Precyse Solutions to provide assistance in cancer registry abstracting. Precyse Solutions' cancer registry associates, each of whom is a certified tumor registrar (CTR) with extensive experience in the field of oncology data management, worked on-site at these facilities to help hospital staff members organize and manage their abstracting workload. The partnership has resulted in improved case detail, turn-around-time and decreased overall costs.

Precyse Solutions also was selected to supply onsite clinical coding assistance to Massachusetts General Hospital and Cleveland Clinic. As the hospitals' HIM outsourced coding partner, Precyse Solutions' team of certified coding specialists (CCS) concentrate on improving the quality, turn-around-time and availability of coded medical data. Precyse's improved performance for these activities significantly reduced the Discharged Not Final Billed (DNFB) financial load carried by the hospitals, effectively accelerating their cash flow.
