API to Implement LaborWorkx Product Suite Throughout Reid Hospital; API's Labor Resource Management Solutions Will Automate and Streamline Labor Information for Over 1,500 Employees.

HARTFORD, Wis. -- API Software, Inc. announced today that Reid Hospital & Health Care Services, Inc. of Richmond, Indiana, will be implementing the company's suite of API LaborWorkx(R) healthcare labor resource management solutions throughout the entire hospital. The products Reid Hospital ordered include Payrollmation(R) time and attendance, ActiveStaffer(R) staff scheduling, LaborVision(R) productivity management, Navigator HR and Payroll, EdTrack(R) education tracking and SecurALL(R) access control.

"There are no comparisons in the marketplace to API's robust technology," said Craig Kinyon, vice president and chief financial officer for Reid Hospital. "In addition, we appreciate the fact that API only provides software to the healthcare industry. We felt this dedicated approach was best for us long-term because as our needs change, API will be more reactive to these needs because it is their core business."

Reid Hospital was tired of dealing with the time and costs associated with interfacing different systems and were looking for a single vendor to automate all the organization's employee information. For example, much of the employee information housed in the human resources (HR) department is still manual, so automating this data will be a huge business opportunity for the organization. Reid was also interested in employee self-service options and enhanced reporting capabilities for managers and executives. API applications address all these needs. Reid plans to systematically roll out the products, beginning with Navigator, then ActiveStaffer. It is anticipated that the final phase of the house-wide implementation will be complete by the third quarter of 2006.

API LaborWorkx is a strategic suite of products that streamlines the management and administration of employee information and gives healthcare organizations a complete and in-depth view of labor resources. The suite features the following products: Payrollmation automates and simplifies the time and attendance data collection and calculation process, streamlines time card management, and helps the organization to control labor costs. ActiveStaffer simplifies the time-consuming, labor-intensive manual processes involved in scheduling employees, maximizing resources, controlling labor costs and retaining qualified staff. LaborVision helps maximize resources and control labor costs with proactive and real-time information. Navigator links payroll and human resource functionality, eliminating duplicate entry and improving data accuracy. EdTrack monitors employee education requirements and schedules applicable classes. SecurALL gives organizations the technology to track movement throughout the facility, as well as access to pharmaceutical cabinets and IS rooms.

"With API, Reid will find that having all employee information in a single database reduces interfaces and eliminates the vendor 'blame game,'" said Luis Garcia, API president and chief executive officer. "With real-time information, managers at Reid will be able to proactively control staffing and labor costs. API LaborWorkx will help them to get the right employee in the right place at the right time -- at the most cost-effective rate."
