• Golden Ventures
• Providence Health System
• Leesburg Regional Medical Center

• DeSoto Memorial Hospital

The Excluded Party Search System (EPSS) is designed to assist hospitals and other health care providers in determining whether any of their employees, physicians (or medical staff), or vendors have been excluded from participating in federal health care programs. First released as a client/server version, EPSS is now available in both a client/server version and a world's first thin-client, web-based version. Utlizing an intelligent search mechanism, EPSS phonetically looks for all records with similar names in the combined database from the Office of Inspector General (OIG) and the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) and presents users with results that are summarized and prepared for final review by provider personnel.

Founded in 1995, Cornerstone Health Care Services, Inc. is an independent consulting firm with offices located in Tampa, Florida. Cornerstone was formed with the motivation to deliver needed expertise and personal commitment to integrated delivery systems, their individual components, and other health care organizations.
