Sentara Health System Contracts for MEDai's High Risk
Prediction and Provider Profiling Systems

Orlando, FL (April 26, 2000) – Andrew Larkowich, Chief Operating Officer of MEDai, Inc., announced recently that Sentara Health System, located in Virginia Beach, VA, has contracted to use the company's High Risk Prediction (HRP) and Provider Profiling Systems (PPS). Sentara is the largest integrated delivery network in the state of Virginia. This large health system will use MEDai's HRP to perform high risk prediction analyses to identify the top 10 percent of Sentara's patient population who will have the highest medical costs in the future. In addition, HRP will predict the actual costs for these members for the upcoming year.

The Provider Profiling System will be used to perform analyses of provider costs and utilization patterns compared to his or her peer group in the network. MEDai will provide Sentara with reports that display outcomes, resources and process indicators against a severity-adjusted comparative. Randy Axelrod, M.D., Sentara's Medical Director, said, "These new systems harness the latest artificial intelligence technology to help us better plan our resource usage and to identify best practices in terms of both quality of care and cost."

"Sentara has been a MEDai client for some time, and we are pleased they have chosen these additional systems to help them elevate an already extremely high level of patient care," Mr. Larkowich said. MEDai is a computer information services, software developer and tools provider company that uses artificial intelligence to assist healthcare providers and payors in the measurement of quality, efficiency, disease severity, and outcomes with superior accuracy and predictability.
