Geisinger Health System and Vignette Partner to Improve Patient Care Through RHIO Initiative; Healthcare Provider Surpasses Industry and Government Guidelines for Electronic Health Record Access

Business Wire, April 3, 2006

AUSTIN, Texas -- Well ahead of a key White House executive order to mandate electronic health records (EHR) within 10 years, Geisinger Health System, a leading physician-led healthcare system in Pennsylvania, is partnering with Vignette (NASDAQ:VIGN) to build a Regional Health Information Organization (RHIO). The RHIO, developed in conjunction with two community hospitals, will provide clinicians anywhere in the region with unprecedented access to a patient's complete electronic health record.

Vignette's strength and experience in providing solutions that allow healthcare organizations the ability to deliver personalized information to clinicians, patients, employees, health plan members, boards of directors/trustees and other stakeholders led Geisinger to select Vignette as the primary EHR delivery vehicle across the RHIO. Vignette's solution, coupled with a record locator service and a community master patient index, will give physicians throughout the region secure access to critical patient information at the point of care. Vignette's industry-leading portal will provide physicians with a federated view of information from multiple healthcare providers with a single log-in, saving time and providing complete and accurate patient history information, which can improve patient safety and enhance the quality of care.

"Geisinger is committed to providing quality healthcare to the residents of Pennsylvania by giving doctors instant access to complete electronic patient records, consistent with our strong commitment to patient privacy," said Frank Richards, chief information officer at Geisinger. "Vignette's Enterprise Content Management solutions provide us with the most comprehensive, secure, robust platform for delivery and presentation of vital patient information and allow us to leverage information from our current patient database, as well as the systems of the other provider organizations in our regional cooperative. We will be able to access both structured and unstructured patient information for in- and out-of-network patients in a timely manner, improving our customer service, reducing costs and increasing the quality of care for our 3.5 million customers."

"Geisinger has been a well-respected healthcare institution and an IT visionary for nearly a century," said David Crean, vice president of Healthcare Solutions at Vignette. "Physicians across the region will now be able to access complete Electronic Health Records through a single portal provided by Vignette. Vignette is pleased to provide its enterprise content management expertise and join in the nationwide effort to overcome the geographic, organizational and information system boundaries that have prevented patients and caregivers from accessing complete patient records at the point of care."
