ADVISORY...for Monday (April 19)

--(BUSINESS WIRE)

WHO:     SilverBack Technologies' Webinar: "The Smart Hospital - IT
         Strategies to Optimize Clinical Outcomes" featuring speaker
         Tim Stettheimer, Ph.D., VP and CIO of St. Vincent's Hospital
         in Birmingham, Alabama.

WHAT:    SilverBack's webinar will help those responsible for
         defining a hospital's IT strategy to learn more about the
         components of a "Smart Hospital" and how to implement such an
         initiative.

         Dr Stettheimer will speak to why technology is so critical to
         healthcare, and how new tools can help healthcare providers
         to practice safer, more efficient medicine. As VP and CIO of
         St. Vincent's Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama - the flagship
         digital hospital for Ascension Health Inc. - he has
         experienced firsthand a reduction in administration expense,
         to where 85-90% of the facility can be dedicated to patient
         care. While there is a lot of hype today about Smart Hospital
         initiatives, Dr. Stettheimer will examine some real
         initiatives that are already in place and being used on a
         day-to-day basis.

         SilverBack provides both in-house and hosted IT monitoring
         software that helps hospitals assure high availability and
         response time of their most critical resources, including
         clinical database repositories, integrated patient billing
         software, and other diagnostic applications and equipment.
