SouthWest Memorial Hospital goes online with MCN's policy manager New workflow software with formatted content to facilitate more efficient processes

Denver, Colo., June 5, 2007 - MCN Healthcare Inc., a leading provider of regulatory compliance solutions for the healthcare industry today announced Southwest Memorial Hospital of Cortez, Colorado has become the latest healthcare provider to implement MCN's ellucid® policy management software. The new workflow application creates virtual committees for online editing, approvals and publishing.

Says Liz Sellers, Chief Clinical Officer for Southwest, "We needed a faster, more effective method to manage what is usually a time-consuming process. As a small community hospital, our nurses and physicians' time is best served at the patient bedside instead of in meetings. We believe MCN's Policy Manager will promote a more efficient use of resources and enable clinicians to focus on delivering optimum care.

Policy Manager provides organizations of any size with a robust user-friendly policy management process developed specifically for healthcare's unique workflow. The application enables easy import and uploading functions for the customer's existing documents. On-line access promotes greater efficiencies and communication among staff and committees to review, edit, share and approve documents from virtually any location. Policy Manager may be integrated with MCN's on-line Policy Library containing 82 manuals and more than 17,000 compliant-ready policies, procedures and forms.

States Amanda Valeur, president and founder of MCN, "Updating and maintaining compliance of policy documents is an intensive process. MCN has created a workflow process that truly solves a unique problem within healthcare facilities. We are proud to welcome Southwest Memorial Hospital as our newest partner for Policy Manager.
