THE SULLIVAN GROUP ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH MEDQUEST, LLC

Risk Reduction Overlay to Fortify Patient Discharge Instruction System

Oakbrook Terrace, Ill. – September 14, 2006 – The Sullivan Group (TSG), a leading provider of risk management solutions for medical professionals, today announces its partnership with MedQuest, LLC, developers of the ExitCare Patient Education System. In doing so the Sullivan group will provide further expertise in Emergency Medicine Risk and Safety to MedQuest which TSG considers to be the flagship company in patient discharge information.

This partnership represents a completely new concept in emergency medicine risk management. ExitCare provides a comprehensive library of patient discharge instructions that reduces risks while educating and reminding patients to extend this continuum of care into their home environment.

Dr. Daniel Sullivan, founder and chief executive officer of TSG says, “It is clear that by using these instructions we are reducing even further the risk of an unfortunate event. This increased level of care will expand on the continuum of care to the home environment.”

Rick Redalen, MD, Chief Executive Officer of MedQuest states, “My goal is to empower physicians and patients with consumer friendly patient education information that will improve patient care and reduce bad outcomes. By working with The Sullivan Group, we are taking our commitment to a new and higher level. TSG will review each of our high-risk topics to ensure they meet the highest standards of risk management. Also, we will add additional language to our patient education material to improve even further on our patient and family education on the signs and symptoms of their medical condition. I am very excited to include this new dimension of consumer health information that will further empower patients.” Dr. Redalen further adds, “We chose The Sullivan Group as a part of our continued commitment to build an even better patient information system. The addition of risk fortification from Dan Sullivan and The Sullivan Group allows us to even further differentiate ExitCare in the marketplace”.
