Mar 16, 2009 -- MedAssets (NASDAQ: MDAS | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) offers a free analytic tool, the Supply Intensity Metric (SIM), that more accurately measures and predicts hospital supply costs, at a time when supply cost management has never been more important for hospitals and health systems. See below for information on the Company's free SIM analysis and complimentary SIM webinar.

The Supply Intensity Metric predicts total annual supply costs by patient and procedure type, then compares a hospital's overall supply expense profile to similar facilities to gauge cost performance versus best practice in order to identify opportunities for better cost management.

Traditionally, supply expense performance metrics have been based on a percentage of hospitals' revenue, expense or Medicare case mix index - measures that do not accurately capture the supply intensity of a patient's care. SIM, created by the experts at Aspen Healthcare Metrics, a MedAssets company, is unique in that it targets hospitals' projected supply expenses based on the actual mix of patients seen and procedures performed. Using SIM's insight, a hospital can observe changes in supply expense over time that would result from changes in supply intensity, such as increases in the number of procedurally-based patients, for example, total joint replacements, and decreases in the number of medically-based patients, such as those with congestive heart failure.

"SIM as a benchmarking tool is essential for our budgeting and analysis," said Michael Louviere, Vice President, Supply Chain, for Baptist Memorial Healthcare System in Birmingham, Alabama. "We're challenged with knowing what we spend on supplies so that we can impact the areas where we might be losing money."

MedAssets offers a free SIM analysis for hospitals that wish to accurately predict their supply expenses and compare it against their actual spending. Once a facility understands its relative SIM score, a more in-depth review can be performed to identify specific hospital opportunities through a Business Analytical Review, which identifies aggregate supply cost opportunities in areas such as pharmacy, non-chargeable supply expenses, physician preference items (PPI) and utilization.

"Our Supply Intensity Metric was developed to measure supply expense in a more comprehensive way, accounting for actual patient volumes and supplies used by procedure and the intensity of supplies used so that we can more accurately predict a hospital's best practice supply cost," said Dan Piro, President of Aspen Healthcare Metrics, a MedAssets company. "With SIM's predictive capabilities, hospital administrators can gauge their performance during a particular time period and use insight from an in-depth Business Analytical Review to more effectively determine where to focus change efforts. More than 200 hospitals utilize our predictive analytic tools for strategic decision-making."

March 16, 2009, 2009 -- National Instruments (Nasdaq: NATI | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) today announced the latest version of a module development kit that further simplifies the process for users, OEMs and system integrators to design custom C Series modules for NI CompactRIO and add-on boards for NI Single-Board RIO. With the NI cRIO-9951 Module Development Kit (MDK), customers and third-party resellers can design custom solutions for industrial and embedded applications based on common NI reconfigurable I/O (RIO) architectures and in small form factors. The cRIO-9951 MDK also works with NI LabVIEW 8.6 and includes updated electrical design requirements documentation.

"The CompactRIO Module Development Kit allows us to create complementary modules to serve our customers and build our business," said Wolfram Koerver, program manager for CompactRIO modules at S.E.A. Datentechnik GmbH, a company that provides advanced products and solutions in the field of industrial automation and measuring technology. "The new MDK improves this process and enables us to implement our technology ideas even faster in new products and custom specific solutions."

CompactRIO and NI Single-Board RIO devices, which are part of the NI FPGA-based deployment platform, feature the NI RIO architecture composed of a real-time processor, a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) and integrated I/O connectivity. Using this standard architecture, engineers and scientists can rapidly design and prototype advanced control and embedded devices on hardware such as CompactRIO and quickly deploy their systems on the lower-cost CompactRIO integrated systems or NI Single-Board RIO to reduce development costs. Because engineers and scientists can program all NI RIO technology platforms with LabVIEW, no recoding is needed when transitioning from CompactRIO prototypes to volume deployment with NI Single-Board RIO, which increases system reliability and shortens design development time.

In addition to LabVIEW, engineers and scientists can design custom C Series modules or NI Single-Board RIO breakout boards using NI Multisim and Ultiboard software. NI provides free Multisim design resource templates for schematic capture and SPICE simulation and integrated layout drawings using Ultiboard. The ease of use of Multisim and flexibility of Ultiboard deliver an additional cost-effective solution for designing custom hardware for NI RIO platforms.

The cRIO-9951 MDK also includes a technical design user manual, access to NI technical support during initial module development and connectors from NI cRIO-9952, cRIO-9954 and cRIO-9955 module shells.

Mar 16, 2009 -- Pegasystems Inc. (NASDAQ: PEGA), the leader in Business Process Management (BPM) software, today announced its new Financial Crimes Management Framework with SmartTriage(TM) capability. This solution is designed to enhance the ability of organizations to manage alerts across lines of business and disparate systems in order to automatically identify critical breaches and reduce the processing of false positives. This new capability meets the increasing regulatory scrutiny that today's banks and financial institutions are facing, while also addressing concerns brought on by penalties for non-compliance.

Pegasystems' new SmartTriage capability enables institutions to automatically identify, manage and reduce the increasing number of false positives generated through disparate suspicious activity monitoring, anti-money laundering, sanctions filtering and fraud detection systems simultaneously. This ensures full internal control, auditable processes, and regulatory compliance via real-time reporting. SmartTriage forms a key component of the Financial Crimes Management Framework, providing core anti-money laundering (AML) and fraud management functionality.

This solution can easily be extended and customized in line with each customer's operations and existing processes relating to the type and identification of risk, products, and customers. This new capability can tie together disparate detection systems for a more comprehensive view of potential alerts, improve the operational efficiency of alerts management processes by up to 60 percent, and also deliver significant cost savings back to the organization.

"In offering an increasing number of products and services with customers across multiple channels, banks and other financial institutions today operate under unprecedented regulatory supervision in the areas of risk, fraud, and compliance, presenting a huge challenge," said Reetu Khosla, Director of Financial Crime Solutions for Pegasystems. "Until now, they have had to manage and investigate thousands of alerts generated every day using manual processes. This approach is a costly and inefficient response, especially as fewer than five percent of alerts are ultimately true hits."

Investigation Management Backbone

The Financial Crimes Management Framework utilizes Pegasystems' industry-leading Build for Change(R) technology to provide the essential components business users need to develop a fraud and AML alert and investigations backbone that fit their particular organization. As part of this framework, the new SmartTriage functionality automates the management of alerts and investigations from disparate detection systems to ensure enhanced control and compliance, and minimize the processing of false positives. The Financial Crimes Case Management framework provides integrated end-to-end case management from inception to resolution, across lines of business - including retail, brokerage and private wealth management - and risk groups, such as sanctions, high risk customer monitoring, AML, and internal and external fraud.

Key functionality in this framework includes:

-- Auto-Duplicate Search - identifies duplicate alerts, ensuring the processing of one alert and auto-resolving what is deemed a duplicate with a comprehensive audit trail.

-- Auto-Grouping Related Alerts - automated identification and grouping of related alerts by risk patterns into single or multiple cases, based on the type of investigative case and alert attributes. In addition, investigation of related alerts into one case allows for multiple alerts to be managed and resolved by a single investigator, thus improving efficiency.

-- Behavioral Resolution of Alerts - reducing 'false positives' by automatically resolving alerts based on previous history and due diligence, so increasing straight-through processing (STP) rates.

-- Auto-Risk Rate - each alert and case is automatically risk-rated, allowing for consistent prioritization and routing of alert ratings received from disparate monitoring systems. SmartTriage also enables dynamic change in risk rating as attributes change to SAR (suspicious activity report) history, Know Your Customer (KYC) data, type of suspicious activity, and number of alerts.

Mar 16, 2009 -- Universal Detection Technology (OTCBB: UNDT), a developer of early-warning monitoring technologies to protect people from bioterrorism and other infectious health threats and provider of counter-terrorism consulting and training services, issued an analysis of the increasing cost of Bioterror false alarms and hoaxes involving white powder mailings. In the past two fiscal years, records show, U.S. postal inspectors responded to more than 5,800 reports of letters and packages containing suspicious substances.

In the 7 1/2 years since America's worst bioterror attack -- when letters laced with anthrax spores killed five people, closed Congress and the Supreme Court and crippled mail service for months -- U.S. agencies have spent more than $50 billion to beef up biological defenses. However, a flood of hoaxes and false alarms have raised the cost considerably through lost work, evacuations, decontamination efforts, first responders' time and the emotional distress of the victims. That, experts say, is often the hoaxsters' goal.

"It's easy, it's cheap and very few perpetrators get caught," said Leonard Cole, a political scientist at Rutgers University in Newark, N.J., who studies bioterrorism. "People do it for a sense of power."

Among the recent targets:

-- Nearly all 50 governors' offices -- About 100 U.S. embassies -- 52 banks -- 36 news organizations -- Ticket booths at Disneyland -- Mormon temples in Salt Lake City and Los Angeles

UNDT's 5-agent detection kits have been extensively used by first responders and private industry throughout the country. The kits are the first line of defense in a "white powder scare" situation. The kits notify the user of the presence of bio agents such as anthrax, botulinum and ricin in as little as three minutes. UNDT's BSM-2000 system is an autonomous airborne detector of bacterial spores. The system samples the ambient air and can notify a first responder of elevated levels of bacterial spores which is a typical signature of an airborne anthrax attack.

The Company recently received a purchase order for its equipment from the Miami-Dade Police Department.

"Our test kits assist first responders and private industry to identify suspicious powders quickly and safely," said Mr. Jacques Tizabi, UNDT's Chief Executive Officer. "This method is the most effective way of treating and mitigating the increased number of hoaxes," he added.

About Universal Detection Technology

Universal Detection Technology is a developer of monitoring technologies, including bioterrorism detection devices. The Company on its own and with development partners is positioned to capitalize on opportunities related to Homeland Security. For example, the Company, in cooperation with NASA, has developed a bacterial spore detector that detects certain biohazard substances. The Company is also a reseller of handheld assays used for detection of five bioterrorism agents, radiation detection systems, and antimicrobial products.
