San Francisco Gathering to Feature Knowledge Transfer Sessions to Promote Best Practice and Regulatory Compliance for Healthcare Contracts

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Selectica (NASDAQ:SLTC), a leading provider of contract lifecycle management (CLM) solutions, today announced that it will be holding the second meeting of the Selectica Healthcare Special Interest Group (HSIG) June 4th in San Francisco. The HSIG is designed to allow executives from healthcare organizations to gather to compare notes, best practices, and technology tips to solve their healthcare contract management problems.

Contract lifecycle management continues to play an increasingly important role in the relationship between hospitals, healthcare providers, physicians, administrators, and vendors. For healthcare providers, patient safety has to be balanced against pricing for goods and services and cost containment, meeting physician needs, maintaining services levels, and, of course, regulatory compliance. Selectica's HSIG gives healthcare professionals an opportunity to pool their knowledge and share their expertise to promote best practice and adapt contracting strategies for their own healthcare facilities, service companies, or pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturing operations.

Included in the HSIG meeting agenda will be a series of Knowledge Transfer Sessions to give attendees a broader understanding of:

* Best practices for managing healthcare-related contracts, including the unique terms, conditions, and nuances that are common to healthcare agreements.

* Regulatory burdens that have a direct impact on the contracting process, and how to manage contracts to assure compliance.

* Trends and challenges unique to Contract Lifecycle Management for Healthcare.

"The HSIG meetings have already proven to be a valuable resource to both attendees and our Contract Management product team," said Jason Stern, Vice President, Products & Business Development for Selectica's Contract Management Solutions. "It provides an opportunity to exchange ideas, and discuss problems and solutions that are unique to healthcare contracts. It also gives our development team an intimate view of the challenges our customers face every day, which helps us continue to offer the best CLM software platform for healthcare contract management."
