2010 operational outlook

n Implementing services and programs that will improve quality of care and
quality of earnings

n ICU (Tulsa and Rome - new construction)

n Around-the-clock physician coverage (Tulsa, Dallas, Lafayette, Peoria, Kansas
City)

n Ancillary enhancements (Tulsa, Dallas, Lafayette, Peoria, El Paso)

• CT scanners

• Hyperbaric chamber(s)

• Special procedure rooms

n New hospitals are performing

n The Heights already exceeding volume expectations

n Peoria hospital ended qualifying period at the end of April

n New regional operations structure gives stability, direction and support to drive
performance across the portfolio

LTACHs
Role within the continuum

n LTACHs represent the earliest discharge option from the STAC setting

n ICU/high observation unit (HOU) allows for early and safe transfer of medically
complex patients

n Availability of ancillary services, advanced equipment and experienced staff

n LTACHs can discharge patients home or to highest level of functionality faster

n Multi-disciplinary approach means all caregivers are focused on same outcome

n Strong therapy component results in patients going home or to the next level of care
faster; therapists work with the nursing staff to resolve medical issues while dealing
with physical rehabilitation aspects of the treatment plan

n LTACHs should:

n Accept patients from STAC/ICU setting within 3-5 days of diagnosis and stabilization

n Discharge at least 50% of their patients home and within the Medicare defined
expected ALOS

n Return less than 5% of their patients to the STAC setting for services the LTACH can’t
provide or manage safely

n Reduce 90-day STAC discharge readmit rates by healing and educating patients and
families on care/prevention

LTACHs
Triumph approach

n Equipped ICU or HOU with experienced, well-trained ICU staff

n 88% of Triumph hospitals have an ICU or HOU today

n All but one will have an ICU or HOU by this time next year

n Availability of on-site, 24/7 physician coverage

n 75% of Triumph hospitals have either 24/7 on-site coverage or on-site coverage on nights and
weekends and attending physicians during the day

n All freestanding hospitals with an ICU will have 24/7 physician coverage immediately available and on
-site by end of 2010

n Nursing and respiratory therapy on-site and dedicated around the clock

n 100% of Triumph hospitals provide on-site and dedicated nursing and RT staff

n 100% of Triumph hospitals have at least one RN on site at all times

n Ancillary support necessary to provide safe care to complex patients

n CT scanner and other routine radiological services on-site or contracted to be readily available

n Hyperbaric oxygen chamber and/or other advanced equipment for treating complex wounds on-site or
contracted to be readily available

n Procedure room capable of doing basic procedures or contracted to be readily available

n Report quality outcomes

n Triumph benchmarks all hospitals on monthly/quarterly basis

n Core measures are tracked for all hospitals and reported to Sr. Management

n Admit high proportion of high acuity patients (CCs, MCCs, etc.)

n Triumph does not admit any patients that have a primary condition of rehabilitation

n Over 90% of Triumph Medicare discharges have either MCC or CC

n Triumph utilizes Interqual criteria

LTACHs
Healthcare reform and proposed RY2011 Rule

n Healthcare reform signed into law March 23, 2010

n Extends all provisions of MMSEA until end of 2012

• Moratorium on new LTACH beds

• HIH quota % frozen at 50% or higher

• Restricts CMS from implementing one-time budget neutrality adjustment

• Restricts CMS from implementing short-stay outlier policy

n 25bps reduction to market basket effective Apr. 1, 2010 and another 50bps reduction
effective Oct. 1, 2010

n Prohibits new physician-owned hospitals

n Impact of the insured patient population created by healthcare reform is unclear

n Post-acute bundling pilots

n Proposed RY2011 Rule for LTACHs

n Slight decrease in the Federal Rate

n Slight increase in the fixed loss threshold for outliers

n Adjustments to Wage Index which results in some winners and some losers

n Adjustments to Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG) weights

n If passed as proposed, the RY2011 rule would have less than a 1% impact (before
behavioral changes)

LTACHs
Growth plans and the future

n With MMSEA extended until end of 2012, growth will come from acquisitions

n Growing number of interested LTACH sellers

n Attractive purchase multiples

n Triumph management team has proven results and track record

n Impact of healthcare reform

n More insured lives in markets will likely result in more pressure on inpatient utilization at
STAC hospitals

n Could result in higher referral volumes from STAC hospitals

n Working on post-acute bundling in Houston market

• Triumph has 11 LTACH locations in the Houston market

• RehabCare has 2 IRF locations in the Houston market

• RehabCare has many strong SRS client locations in the Houston market

• Relationship with Memorial Hermann

Hospital Division
Outlook

n Expect FY2010 revenue of $650 - $675 mm

n Anticipate EBITDA of $90 - $100 mm for FY2010

n Reflects the impact of:

• Market basket reductions for IRFs and LTACHs

• RY2011 proposed LTACH rule

n Reaffirm breakeven operating earnings run rate for 13 legacy hospitals by
the end of Q2 10 and breakeven operating earnings for FY2010

n Dallas LTACH anticipated to be accretive by end of Q2 10

n Triumph hospitals expected to achieve 18% to 20% EBITDA margins for
FY2010

n Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests expected to approximate
$3 million for FY2010

Strategic Direction

John Short

n Customer Relationship Management (CRM) to build and manage client relationships

n Development of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) to build consolidated repository of
clinical data

n Human Capital Management (HCM) to integrate processes for building and retaining
workforce

n Single solution for Back Office operations to unify and standardize

n Application of Google Cloud-Based Technology to minimize capital expenditure

Electronic Medical Record

n Facilitates care coordination across settings
and geographic locations, reduces
administrative burden of dueling data sets

n Integrates with or provides EMR structure for
host facility (opportunity to upsell mgt. services)

n Our point-of-service technology provides
currency of data

n Enhances our ability to evaluate patient
appropriateness, provide timely information to
referrers and address care follow-up (i.e.
impact readmissions)

Deploying cloud-based EMR platform to conform to
meaningful use standards; in SRS by end of 2011,
Hospitals by end of 2012

Google PHR

n Working with Google Health on customization of free, cloud-based Personal
Health Record (PHR) to be applied across divisions

n Allows monitoring of patient’s compliance with discharge plan and progress with
recovery goals

n Further engages patient and family in treatment process and teaches patient how
to make healthy lifestyle choices

n Goal is to ensure optimal outcome post-discharge and prevent readmission

n Added benefit: Google name recognition gives RehabCare greater visibility

n Initially targeted at Medicare beneficiaries; demonstration project will determine
what structures and processes work best and where

n Shifts away from traditional fee-for-service model

n Providers are rewarded for better care coordination that meets quality of care
indicators and cost savings targets

n Provides us opportunity to participate in voluntary ACOs; broadened our product
offerings to include solutions for an ACO model as well as other integrated
delivery systems

Promote Integration
Under health reform

Shared savings program is established in 2012 for
providers organized as Accountable Care Organizations
(ACOs) that voluntarily meet quality thresholds.

Promote Integration
Under health reform

n Houston network model

n Utilizing our broad continuum services and system relationships (e.g. Memorial
Hermann) to test post-acute network strategy

n Beginning in 2011, working to determine components of successful bundling model
to assist CMS in setting national study parameters

n AMRPA Continuing Care Hospital (CCH) project

n Serving on AMRPA (American Medical Rehabilitation Providers Assoc.) committee
that will be developing industry pilot to test CCH model

n Would be an amalgam of post-acute care settings (either actual building or virtual
entity) that would be paid on a per-episode basis, which includes full period of stay
plus 30 days post discharge

n One estimate indicates bundling acute and post-acute services could save $20
billion over 10 years; also eliminates need for complex maze of regulations

In 2013, CMS begins 3-year national pilot project to study
the effectiveness of a bundled payment system.
