Mercy Health Services Chooses Quovadx Integration Solutions; Leading Acute Care Hospital Selects Cloverleaf® Integration Suite to Streamline IT Integration

Business Wire, March 6, 2006

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo. -- Quovadx, Inc. (Nasdaq:QVDX), a global software and vertical solution company, today announced that Mercy Health Services has chosen Cloverleaf(R) Integration Services, the core component of the Cloverleaf(R) Integration Suite from Quovadx to automate the integration of its clinical IT systems. The Cloverleaf technology will first be used to integrate clinical data from the hospital's newest clinical application in Obstetrics with the hospital's existing IT systems, such as patient registration and billing systems.

Mercy Health Services, the parent organization of Mercy Medical Center, a 285-bed, full-service university-affiliated medical facility, will use Cloverleaf technology and professional services to electronically integrate data from its applications used by the hospital's individual specialty areas, beginning with Obstetrics, with the organization's existing IT infrastructure. By using the Cloverleaf solution, Mercy Health Services will greatly reduce the time and cost of building point-to-point integration interfaces amongst various applications and uploading data manually.

"At Mercy Health Services, we are continually looking for ways to streamline our IT systems and reduce overhead work for our staff. With the Cloverleaf solution, we will still have the ability to create and maintain interfaces as we need, but we will also gain the advantages of lower costs, increased flexibility and significant time savings for our staff," said Claudine Schiro, project leader, Mercy Health Services. "The interoperability of the Cloverleaf system is important to completing IT projects on time and within budget, particularly as we add connections to our Cloverleaf solution and gradually replace our existing point-to-point structure."

Prior to choosing the Cloverleaf solution, Mercy Health Services built and maintained point-to-point connections between each of its unique, disparate applications. However, as the hospital system continued to grow and add state-of-the-art applications in various specialty areas, the time and expense of building connections between applications, and maintaining those connections, became cumbersome. To ensure that the organization reaps the greatest benefit of its IT investments, Mercy will gradually add both existing and new applications to the Cloverleaf solution.

"Interoperability, supported by standards-based integration, is increasingly important as specialty areas continue to add new technology that must communicate with hospitals' existing health information systems," said Mike Epplen, vice president, product management, Integration Solutions division, Quovadx. "We are proud to work with Mercy Health Services, a leader in advancing the latest technology and medical research to improve patient care, to supply them with seamlessly integrated technology solutions."
