Reston, VA — July 22, 2009 —

RESTON, Va., Jul 22, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- QuadraMed (NASDAQ:QDHC) today announced that the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (NIH Clinical Center) in Bethesda, Md. selected QuadraMed AcuityPlusTM productivity, benchmarking and outcomes system to optimize its nursing resources enterprise-wide.

NIH's 234-bed clinical research hospital purchased the AcuityPlus platform, which includes inpatient, ambulatory and mental health methodologies, outcomes module, and import and export features, to help ensure interoperability with existing ADT and staff scheduling systems. The solution suite provides data analysis and monitoring to determine efficient staffing and budget projection and management, as well as a reporting module for true acuity-adjusted benchmarking.

NIH Clinical Center had been a QuadraMed MPI and HIM consulting client from 2005 through 2007. "This expansion of our NIH Clinical Center relationship reflects our dedication to delivering demonstrable clinical and operational efficiencies while improving patient safety and care," said James E. Peebles, interim president and CEO of QuadraMed. "This deployment is particularly significant because it marks the first time that AcuityPlus has been adopted by a federal government healthcare system. We look forward to strengthening and expanding this relationship in the coming years."
