RICHMOND, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 22, 1999--QuadraMed Corporation (Nasdaq:QMDC), a leading healthcare information technology company, today will unveil OneLook(TM), a unique enterprise solution for any desktop in the healthcare system, at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society Conference (HIMSS) in Atlanta. A Web and Windows(R)-based application, OneLook provides immediate and secure access to patient data from any department in the hospital or provider network.

"OneLook is changing the daily practice of medicine," says Dr. Anthony Balsamo, chief of orthopedics at Holy Redeemer Hospital in Philadelphia and beta user of OneLook Technology. "OneLook helps me make quality medical decisions in a cost-effective fashion that benefit my patients and my practice. By providing one simple format to view patient information, I can access important data quickly and easily."

Several healthcare industry analysts consent that more than $250 billion was spent in 1998 on the delivery of unnecessary medical care and needless administrative expenses.

"Most industries that are in a highly competitive environment invest more than 10 percent in information technology, while the healthcare industry only invests 1.5 to 2.5 percent," said James Durham, QuadraMed chairman and CEO. "The benefits OneLook brings to existing information technologies is representative of QuadraMed's mission to provide comprehensive solutions for the healthcare industry. This innovative technology, originally developed for the defense industry, is cost-effective, increases productivity and can improve clinical outcomes."

Key features of OneLook include...

-- gives physicians, nurses and clinicians a secure,

easy-to-use portal to patient information across the

enterprise -- from the Web or Windows PC's

-- gives business office users quick access to management and

financial data from legacy systems
