Stromberg and Per-Se Technologies Offer Hospitals Enterprise Staff Scheduling with Critical Time and Attendance Functionality

Lake Mary, FL - Thursday, November 04, 2004 - Companies meet industry's pressing labor resource needs with combined, market-leading resource management solutions

ALPHARETTA, Ga. & LAKE MARY, Fla. Per-Se Technologies (Nasdaq: PSTI - News), the leader in Connective Healthcare solutions that help physicians and hospitals realize their financial goals, and Stromberg, a leading provider of time and attendance software solutions, today announced a strategic relationship designed to provide hospitals with a comprehensive scheduling and staff management solution that now incorporates additional real-time analytical tools to help further reduce labor costs.

Under the exclusive arrangement, Per-Se's ANSOS One-Staff®, an enterprise staff and productivity management system that allows hospitals to effectively manage labor resources, will integrate with Stromberg's Enterprise Edition, a scalable time and attendance solution that provides management with real-time and historical labor cost information. Empowering managers with decision critical information allows them to actively and quickly resolve problems.

Robert Wells, Per-Se Hospital Services division's senior vice president of resource and access management, said the Per-Se--Stromberg relationship further demonstrates Per-Se's commitment to alleviate administrative burdens in healthcare. "No other offering exists with the depth of functionality of Per-Se's staff scheduling and productivity tools and Stromberg's time and attendance tools," Wells said.

"We are excited about working closely with Per-Se and providing a critical tool to help hospitals operate more effectively," said Seth Bernstein, president of Stromberg. "Until today, the healthcare industry had to either choose a leader in time and attendance or the leader in scheduling; now you will have the two industry leaders in one solution."

Per-Se's ANSOS One-Staff provides quick access to information about hospital employees, skill sets and salaries so managers can make informed and effective staffing decisions. Per-Se's Connective Healthcare solutions help hospitals meet budgetary requirements and deliver optimal patient care by tracking staff and scheduling changes and by providing cost estimates for staff-related decisions before they are made.

Stromberg's time and attendance systems, such as Enterprise Edition, monitor employee hours, manage their schedules and create detailed reports on individual employees. The systems are designed to increase efficiencies among workers and track their hours from job to job, monitor their breaks, and eliminate data entry errors throughout the payroll cycle.
