Denver, Colo., April 8, 2008 - MCN Healthcare, the leading provider of regulatory compliance solutions for the healthcare industry, today announced the launch of version 2.0 of the ellucid Policy Manager, the unique policy management system designed just for healthcare.

"The response to version 1 of the Policy Manager has been overwhelming. More than 50 new facilities have adopted it in the last six months alone," says Steve Johnsen, CEO of MCN Healthcare. "By rolling out version 2.0, we are continuing to delight our customers with innovative new features that make their jobs easier. We have taken one of the most easy-to-use platforms and made it even more intuitive, with a redesigned user interface and a streamlined wizard for defining approval processes. Version 2 also includes advanced reporting features, new authentication tools, and detailed user logs to ensure compliance."

The ellucid Policy Manager from MCN, first launched in February of 2007, provides organizations with a completely paperless electronic repository of policies and procedures, with browse and search tools for staff to quickly find the policies that they need. The system also automates the entire process of reviewing, revising, approving and archiving policies and procedures, with tools developed specifically for healthcare's unique workflow. ellucid Policy Manager is offered as a hosted solution, with MCN providing all of the application support and maintenance, and requires no IT resources from the client healthcare organization.

With online access, staff can review, edit, share and approve documents from virtually any location. For a complete out-of-the box solution, Policy Manager can be integrated with MCN's Policy Library: a comprehensive, on-line resource containing more than 80 manuals with over 18,000 compliant-ready and customizable policies, procedures and forms.
