Press Release Body = Vertabase, a leading developer of project management software,
today announced that Patients' Hospital of Redding, California, an acute care
hospital that specializes in surgery and pain management, has further elevated
patient care by accelerating project completion through the implementation of
Vertabase Pro software.

Vertabase Pro offers project management tools for non-technical users to organize
people and projects by simplifying, centralizing and accelerating access to critical
up-to-date information. Vertabase Pro facilitates superior management by providing a
framework for increased productivity.

As a specialty hospital with a low staff-to-patient ratio, Patients' Hospital is
dedicated to delivering the highest quality of patient care. In order to be
successful, Patients' Hospital - and the healthcare sector, in general - strives to
contain resource allocation to non-core activities, specifically administration. The
hospital's approach to project management exemplifies this strategy.

Previously, managing the various tasks of a team of 80 people was centralized in the
hands of small management team. When it came to interdepartmental collaboration -
for example, creating a hospital policy in response to new regulations and
standards, it was challenging to react quickly.

With an average of 350 projects ongoing at any given time, Patients' Hospital made
the decision to update its approach to project management. After a comparative
analysis of existing project management software solutions, Patients' Hospital
selected and implemented Vertabase Pro in September 2006.

"Before we implemented this solution, it would take 30 to 45 days to complete a
typical project," said Demetra Neely, Medical Staff Coordinator, Patients' Hospital.
"Now, thanks to Vertabase Pro, projects are being delivered in about half that time.
This increase in management efficiency enables us to focus an even higher percentage
of available resources to our central mission of providing the best patient care
possible."

"Currently, we are using Vertabase Pro to track which projects are assigned to which
managers. Vertabase Pro functions very harmoniously with our existing management
benchmarks. Each manager has weekly, monthly and annual tasks that are evaluated in
terms of on-time completion. With Vertabase Pro, the administration of these
benchmarks is much simpler. Project issues, notes and completion dates are now
inputted by each user and the Hospital Administrator receives notification each time
a project is modified or completed. I like the fact that Vertabase Pro facilitates
direct communication among users. Furthermore, the feedback has been excellent.
After overcoming an initial learning curve, even people with very limited computer
literacy appreciate the benefits of Vertabase Pro," Ms. Neely concluded.
