STREAMLINE HEALTH APPOINTS ROBERT WATSON AS PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
J. Brian Patsy, Founder of Streamline Health, to Retire as President and CEO
Cincinnati, Ohio — January 31, 2011 — Streamline Health Solutions, Inc. (NasdaqCM: STRM), a
leading provider of document workflow solutions for hospitals, announced today that Robert Watson
has been appointed President and Chief Executive Officer effective February 1, 2011. Mr. Watson has
been involved in the healthcare information technology industry for more than 25 years with
extensive experience in all operational facets of the industry from senior management to sales and
marketing. J. Brian Patsy, founder of Streamline Health Solutions, and current President and Chief
Executive Officer since its inception, has retired at the request of the Board of Directors from
both positions and has also resigned as a director of the Company.
Previously, Mr. Watson was President and Chief Executive Officer of DocuSys, Inc., a leading
provider of anesthesia information systems that was acquired by Merge Healthcare Incorporated in
March 2010. Immediately prior to joining the Company Mr. Watson was engaged as a consultant to
several venture capital firms and growth stage healthcare companies. Prior to joining DocuSys, he
was Executive Vice President of Business Development of Concuity, a healthcare division of
Trintech, Inc. Before that position, he was President and Chief Executive Officer at Concuity Inc,
which was acquired by Trintech, Inc. in December 2006.
Prior to joining Concuity in 2001, Watson was acting Chief Executive Officer of HealthTrac
Corporation, Chief Executive Officer of IQHealth at Cerner Corporation and has been the founder or
senior executive of several successful healthcare organizations throughout his career. He holds an
MBA from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania and a BA in Health Policy
Studies and Information and Library Science from Syracuse University.
Jonathan R. Phillips, chairman of the Streamline Health Solutions Board of Directors, said, “We are
excited to have recruited Bob Watson to join the Company at this critical point in its development.
We believe Bob’s deep knowledge of the healthcare information technology industry and his
experience in driving sales, innovation and strong execution will help Streamline reestablish its
growth trajectory and build on the progress we have made to date in taking Streamline to the next
level.
We are also highly indebted to Brian Patsy for his energy and unwavering commitment to the Company
over the years. Since founding the Company more than twenty years ago, Brian has built one of the
leading healthcare document management and workflow software companies through healthcare market
vision, innovation and partnership. We are truly grateful to Brian for all his efforts over the
years.”
Mr. Watson commented, “I am pleased to be joining Streamline Health at this important time in the
Company’s history. Streamline Health has a strong reputation in the healthcare information
technology industry. I am impressed with the products, the people and the company’s position within
the market. I look forward to the opportunities ahead with great anticipation.”
Mr. Patsy stated, “It is with mixed emotions that I leave my responsibilities with Streamline
Health. On the one hand, I am pleased to hand over the executive and operational reins to a highly
regarded industry professional the likes of Bob Watson. I have no doubt that he will dramatically
leverage the assets of this Company in the coming years. On the other hand, I will miss working
every day with the great people of Streamline Health as well as with our prestigious customer base.
I believe this is the right time to bring in a new CEO with a solid track record of success to
infuse a new level of spirit and energy and drive the company to the next level of development.”
