Franklin, TN (September 1, 2009) THE MEDICAL BANKING PROJECT announced a new
working relationship with a student team at Carnegie Mellon University that
will produce the 3rd issue of The International Journal of Medical Banking,
the organization's premier academic publication. The Journal is routinely
featured at MBProject's annual industry institutes. The next Institute is
scheduled for April 7-9, 2010 in Nashville, TN.

Maureen Turo, Vice President of Healthcare at the The Bank of New York
Mellon, who serves as President of the Medical Banking Institute arranged an
introduction of MBProject to the healthcare policy area at Carnegie Mellon
University. "The journal is documenting the advancement of medical banking
as an industry segment and doing this with students makes this annual task
fun," said Turo. MBProject will oversee production of the Journal and work
directly with the leadership and student team at Carnegie.

"As part of our educational program we seek to interact with industry groups
like The Medical Banking Project to expose our students to issues that are
part of the policy dialogue in healthcare," said David Dausey, Sr. Director
Health Programs/Initiatives at Carnegie Mellon University. "We're excited to
be part of this project and it offers a good learning experience for our
students."

"A key goal of MBProject is to facilitate the creation of new centers of
medical banking excellence to enhance research and to prepare the next
generation of workers in this new segment," said John Casillas, Founding
Director of the Medical Banking Project. "We are working with key
universities to make this happen." Universities that are members of
MBProject include Vanderbilt University's Center for Better Health, the
Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota, University of
Missouri's Department of Healthcare Informatics, California Lutheran
University and the Health Systems Institute at Georgia Tech.
