Zanett, Inc. Jointly Develops Healthcare Software Package; 3 Installed Hospitals Completed, Rollout Planned for Further 8 Sites; Abundant Federal Stimulus Funding Available

NEW YORK, March 2 -- Zanett Healthcare (NASDAQ: ZANE) today announced that is has jointly developed a CODS software package (Clinical Online Delivery System) to support standardized, evidence-based order sets at the point of care, arming doctors and clinicians with critical information to improve medication safety and patient care.  With this solution, physicians and nurses will be able to spend more time with patients and less time on the charting required of them in creating paper records.

CODS was developed for hospitals who are as yet without a fully deployed electronic medical record system, as it serves as a "bridge" strategy to CPOE (Computerized Physician Order Entry).  It is a quick value, low risk solution for those health organizations in the early stages of a 2-5 year implementation of their CPOE and EHR system.

  The CODS software package performs three main functions:

  1. Allows the hospital to set up, maintain and update standardized
     order-sets centrally and conveniently for the entire hospital system.
  2. Allows physicians and other prescribers to use these up-to-date order
     sets from any internet connected computer, either at the office or at
     home, and prescribe medications and tests in an easy-to-use
     point-and-click manner without the disruption to workflow that a full
     EMR would cause.
  3. Allows management to evaluate prescribing patterns in their hospitals
     and update according to the latest guidelines and local practices.

Dennis Harkins, Zanett's President was recently quoted, "Three sites in a major heath provider's network are completed.  We have a rollout plan for another 8 locations in process;  furthermore, we  have a dozen prospective clients with whom we are in active discussions, many of which we are on track to close within the next 90 days."

CODS allows providers to apply clinical decision support at the point of care, laying the foundation for demonstrating "meaningful use" of technology in the future, as outlined for obtaining federal stimulus funds established in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA).  Additional indirect benefits include the necessary change management required for physicians to fully adopt a future CPOE and will serve as a capable downtime solution once the CPOE has been fully implemented.
