Sequoia Software Partners with Phyve to Deliver Interactive E-Business
Portal Solution That Addresses HIPAA Compliance


Partnership Offers Health Care Organizations Secure XML-based Platform for
Improving Provider, Payor, Administrator and Patient Interaction with
Information

Columbia, Md.-April 11, 2000-Sequoia Software Corporation, a leading
provider and innovator of XML-powered interactive e-business portals, today
announced a partnership with Phyve (formerly Digital Medical Systems) to
jointly market an interactive e-business portal solution for healthcare
institutions that will comply with the security requirements of the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Phyve’s technology
provides a comprehensive security layer for Sequoia’s XML Portal Server
(XPS) that will allow healthcare organizations to not only access and act on
information aggregated from disparate sources, but also guarantee the
security and confidentiality of patient information in accordance with the
1996 HIPAA guidelines.

"Phyve’s health care Internet security solution enables fast, efficient and
appropriate information exchange," said Mark Wesker, president of Sequoia
Software. "This technology will allow Sequoia to successfully package an
interactive e-business solution that meets the HIPAA requirements facing our
customers. We are very pleased to include Phyve among our partners."

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, also known
as HIPAA, was designed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of
healthcare systems and protect the security and confidentiality of health
information by standardizing the interchange of electronic data. Using the
Sequoia / Phyve solution, healthcare organizations can use data from their
existing systems to support e-business. Sequoia’s XPS aggregates content
such as lab reports, insurance information, radiology reports and physician
transcriptions, each existing in disparate formats and systems, through a
personalized browser-based interface. Phyve’s technology ensures that all of
this information is made available only to authorized users, maintaining
security and patient confidentiality.

"We partnered with Sequoia because their vision and proven expertise with
XML-powered solutions stands out among portal vendors," said Terry Hemmings,
president and CEO of Phyve.  "We believe that by integrating our HIPAA
security technology into XPS, we can offer healthcare organizations a
faster, more cost-effective way of leveraging the benefits of e-business."

enable the secure exchange of information throughout the healthcare
industry. Founded in 1999, Phyve is led by healthcare experts in Nashville
including Charlie Martin, former founder of three for-profit hospital
