INTEGRIS HEALTH SELECTS SENTILLION TO ENHANCE SECURITY AND EXPEDITE ACCESS TO PATIENT INFORMATION

Oklahoma's Largest Not-for-Profit Healthcare Organization To Leverage Vergence® to Meet Its Identity and Access Management Needs

ANDOVER, MA — June 22, 2005 — INTEGRIS Health, Oklahoma's largest not-for-profit healthcare organization, has selected Sentillion, the leading provider of identity and access management solutions for healthcare, to enhance security and expedite access to patient information across the health system. By leveraging Sentillion's Vergence® products, INTEGRIS Health will be able to meet the need for patient safety and privacy, streamlined workflows, regulatory compliance, and protection of data and information sources.

INTEGRIS Health owns or leases hospitals, primary care clinics, mental health facilities, rehabilitation centers, a fitness center, hospice services, home health agencies and independent living centers throughout the state of Oklahoma, including INTEGRIS Baptist Medical Center and Southwest Medical Center in Oklahoma City.

INTEGRIS Health will use Sentillion's Vergence product suite to provide strong authentication, single sign-on, single patient selection and privacy management across its diverse set of applications, which comprise INTEGRIS Health's unified electronic medical record initiative. Vergence will improve caregiver workflow across all of INTEGRIS Health's applications, including Cerner Millennium®, GE Centricity QS Perinatal System, AllScripts Touchworks™, Camtronics VERICIS® and AGFA, among others. In addition, INTEGRIS Health purchased Sentillion BridgeWorks®, a powerful tool that allows healthcare organizations to quickly and easily develop their own application-specific adapters, or Bridges, to enable any application to work with Vergence.

"Our challenge is getting all our different record systems and clinical applications integrated to work together, and to do it in a way that is convenient and productive for doctors, nurses, and the entire staff in order to ultimately enhance quality and safe patient care delivery," said John Delano, Information Security Officer, INTEGRIS Health. "We did an extensive evaluation which started with 12 identity and access management vendors and after a four month period that included customer site visits, clinical input, seeing proven deployments similar in size to INTEGRIS Health, we selected Sentillion. The decision came down to Sentillion's proven ability to integrate with our current IT systems, their successful deployments at sites similar in size and complexity to ours, and its overall focus and commitment to delivering solutions that meet both the needs of the caregivers and the IT department."

Vergence is a modularized suite that includes user provisioning, strong authentication, single sign-on, clinical context management and privacy auditing. Sentillion's products are already in use across North America including nationally recognized institutions such as Lahey Clinic, New York University Medical Center, Marshfield Clinic, Sharp HealthCare, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Fox Chase Cancer Institute, Cincinnati Children's Hospital & Medical Center and all 163 Veterans' Affairs Medical Centers.
