A-Life Medical's President, Jaye Connolly, Joins ABL Organization

Santa Ana, CA — May 15, 2010 — Jaye Connolly, President of A-Life Medical, Inc., has joined the Adaptive Business Leaders Organization (ABL). As part of California’s leading vertical-industry Chief Executives’ Organization, ABL Members provide one another with executive leadership coaching through its confidential, professionally-facilitated, peer-CEO Advisory Board Round Tables, executive learning workshops, network of CEO peers, and expert resources.

A-Life Medical is the pioneer and leading provider of computer-assisted coding (CAC) products and services to the healthcare industry. Privately-held A-Life pioneered the CAC sector in 1996, with the introduction of advanced computerized coding and coder management solutions. These solutions incorporate A-Life’s proprietary and patented Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology, LifeCode, to decipher electronic-transcribed patient encounters via the Internet through its data center. These documents are then appropriately coded for reimbursement purposes. A-Life’s NLP technology utilizes proprietary knowledge bases, which contain tens of millions of facts to automate the coding process.

Serving the inpatient and outpatient markets, A-Life processes more than five million transactions monthly, has thousands of users and provides coding services to 40,000+ physicians nationwide. Customers include medical billing companies, physician groups, university medical centers, hospitals, and healthcare organizations specializing in such specialties as radiology, pathology, emergency medicine and cardiology. A-Life delivers its products via the Software as a Service (SaaS) model, reducing implementation costs and cycles to weeks rather than the months or years generally required for client server applications.

Jaye was promoted to President of A-Life in April 2010. She joined the company as CFO in 2005 and also assumed the position of COO in 2009. In addition, Jaye serves on the Board of Directors of both A-Life Medical and its subsidiary, A-Life Hospital. Previously, she was VP of Business Development/Mergers and Acquisitions at InSight Health Corp. and Director of Internal Audit at Laboratory Corp. of America, where she successfully implemented a corporate-wide compliance, audit and ethics program. She possesses extensive finance and acquisition experience, having served in key roles at six publicly traded corporations, as well as at start-ups. She has also garnered significant IPO experience, and led 18 accretive acquisitions, adding more than $1 billion to revenue. For more than 25 years, she has demonstrated leadership in roles across the healthcare sector, including diagnostic imaging, clinical laboratory, physician practice management and hospital services.

In 2009, Jaye was named CFO of the Year in the Private Company category by the San Diego Business Journal. She earned her BS degree in Accounting from Texas Tech University.

About the Adaptive Business Leaders (ABL) Organization
ABL supports the needs of its Member CEOs by providing a place for top-level executives to draw on the experience, knowledge and skill sets of their peers in a vertical industry, personal advisory board – “multi-coach approach” – setting.

The core component of the CEO Membership experience is the group Round Table meeting. Members meet once a month for a half-day with a group of peer CEOs, Presidents, COOs and Division General Managers from non-competing companies, all from the same industry (healthcare, technology or life sciences), in a trusted and confidential board room-like setting, which allows ABL Members to tackle topics and enhance their decision making and business performance. Topics include: developing and honing new business strategies and best practices, new lines of business, “A-players” on the management team, and an effective board of directors, as well as understanding trends in new markets, mergers and acquisitions, compensation, and other “hot” topics brought to the Round Tables by the Members themselves.

ABL Members also gather several times a year at workshops and conferences to exchange ideas and connect with other chief executives beyond their own CEO peer groups. In effect, ABL Members serve as one another’s business coaches within the Round Tables and are encouraged to connect and leverage their co-Member peers’ particular skills and expertise for additional leadership coaching, one-on-one, outside of their monthly group meeting. In addition, each Round Table’s facilitator also serves as an objective business advisor, offering executive and industry insights and advice.

 ABL's Chief Executive Leadership Development Round Table program is currently offered in California's Greater Los Angeles, Orange and San Francisco County areas. More information about the ABL Organization can be found at http://www.abl.org .
