Five year agreement includes Streamline Health's first sale of Standard Register's SMARTworks(R) Clinical Enterprise

CINCINNATI, Sept. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Streamline Health Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: STRM), one of the leading providers of integrated document management and workflow solutions, today announced that The Health Alliance of Greater Cincinnati(TM), a network of five hospitals throughout Greater Cincinnati, has agreed to deploy Streamline Health's accessANYware(TM) document workflow solutions, as well as Completion and Coding Workflow solutions at four Health Alliance hospitals through the Company's hosted ASP model. The agreement also includes the renewal of University Hospital, a member of the Health Alliance and a customer of Streamline Health since 1991. New document workflow solutions will also be deployed at the Health Alliance's business center, which serves all five hospitals.

As part of the document management and workflow solutions provided under the agreement, Streamline Health will also deliver SMARTworks(R) Clinical Enterprise to all five hospitals through an alliance with Standard Register (NYSE: SR). This marks Streamline Health's first sale of Standard Register's suite of applications. This suite helps create more accurate patient documentation while streamlining the flow of that information into Streamline Health's system, so it can be more quickly accessed by clinicians and other hospital staff.

'Streamline Health's document workflow solutions will enable us to dramatically improve how documents and data flow within our entire network and across all of our facilities. Streamline Health is an important partner in helping the Health Alliance to operate in the most efficient manner possible,' commented Jay Brown, vice president of Information Systems and Technology at the Health Alliance.

Streamline Health expects to implement the solutions in the four new facilities beginning in the third quarter of 2008, while the renewal agreement with University Hospital will take effect immediately. The ASP solution utilized by the Health Alliance will deploy advanced workflow solutions to facilitate the registration process for patients, streamline coordination with insurance companies, and save physicians' time in accessing and completing medical records. As an integrated health delivery network, the Health Alliance serves the Greater Cincinnati, Ohio area with four hospitals, including teaching, acute care and rehabilitative hospitals that offer a range of medical and surgical services. A fifth hospital, West Chester Medical Center, currently under construction and scheduled for completion in early 2009, will be a 160-bed, technologically advanced full-service hospital.

Mr. J. Brian Patsy, president and CEO of Streamline Health, said, 'We are pleased to be expanding our relationship with The Health Alliance of Greater Cincinnati. The Health Alliance has taken an important proactive step in assuring that timely patient care is promoted by increasing the efficiency of its document workflow processes across their entire system. We are also pleased to have partnered with Standard Register by integrating their eForms solution into the Health Alliance's workflow operation. We believe that the solutions provided by Standard Register are a natural extension of the document management and workflow solutions that we offer here at Streamline Health. We look forward to collaborating with Standard Register for a long time to come.'
