2009-06-26T15:20:00.004-07:00

Kelowna, BC, June 22, 2009 - Al Hildebrandt, President and CEO of QHR Technologies Inc. ("QHR" or the "Company") (TSX - Venture: QHR) announced that it is entering into a joint venture with SEBO Systems Inc. ("SEBO") a private Calgary based company, to create a new company dedicated to providing data hosting, data storage services and solutions to the healthcare and other social services sectors.

The new company, Cloudwerx Data Solutions Inc. ("Cloudwerx") will be owned 51% by QHR and 49% by SEBO and will be headquartered in Calgary, Alberta.

QHR currently provides data hosting and data storage services through its subsidiary Clinicvault Inc. ("Clinicvault") and SEBO has a division providing similar services. Clinicvault and SEBO have signed management agreements with Cloudwerx and, effective July 1, 2009, Cloudwerx will begin and operate both Clinicvault and SEBO Businesses.

Sean Renwick has been appointed President, Bob Kitella, CTO and Sandra Rosano, GM Operations of Cloudwerx. Cloudwerx will have an immediate team of 10 staff and management to start operations, servicing more than 600 users on its current hosting facilities with four different EMR vendor offerings. Cloudwerx will be moving to a new administrative office in N.E. Calgary shortly.

In addition to SEBO’s current data centre facilities in Calgary, Cloudwerx will be expanding it’s hosting capacity by adding a state of the art data centre facility on Kelowna, BC, one of the fastest growing data centre markets in Canada. Depending on which site is the primary location for clients with province specific requirements, the 2nd facility will provide a complete operational backup to the other facility and comply with various provincial EMR requirements.

Over the next 90 days Cloudwerx will complete various business agreements with Clinicvault and SEBO whereby the clients, personnel and equipment of those companies will be acquired and incorporated into Cloudwerx.

In announcing the partnership with SEBO, Mr. Hildebrandt said, “Combining the data hosting and data storage capabilities of Clinicvault and SEBO positions Cloudwerx to become a leader in this rapidly growing market. The two companies can achieve much more together than would be possible on their own.

Sean Renwick said, “The collective efforts of QHR and SEBO bring tremendous strengths to this new venture and along with our combined data centres in Calgary and Kelowna, we will be able to offer an enhanced level of service, innovative IT business solutions and a strengthened level of support to our customers”

On behalf of the Board of Directors

QHR’S EMR DIVISION FIRST APPROVED EMR VENDOR IN MANITOBA

2009-06-03T10:01:00.011-07:00

Kelowna, BC, June 1, 2009 – Mr. Al Hildebrandt, President and CEO of QHR Technologies Inc. (“QHR” or the “Company”) (TSX-Venture: QHR) is pleased to announce that its electronic medical records (EMR) division, Optimed has been announced by Manitoba eHealth as the first vendor to achieve ‘Approved EMR Vendor’ status. This means that Optimed’s Accuro® EMR is the first solution to complete the provincial conformance testing to verify that it meets all core requirements of Manitoba, including contractual arrangements of the RFQ process, to provide Manitoba primary care providers and community physicians with a set of Approved EMRs.

Three other ‘Candidate Approved EMR Vendor’s are still engaged in the EMR qualification process.

For more information, visit the Manitoba eHealth web site, www.manitoba-eHealth.ca, go to the ‘Physicians’ tab then click on ‘Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Qualification Process’. The RFQ process is intended to address the needs of all physicians (both family physicians and specialists) who provide care in the community. To the extent that it is in Manitoba’s control, Manitoba will require that Regional Health Authorities (RHAs) select any new EMR systems for the use of RHA-operated and RHA-funded clinics from among the Approved EMRs. In announcing the selection of QHR, Mr. Hildebrandt said “Optimed worked very hard to ensure that we enhanced our Accuro EMR solution to meet and exceed Manitoba’s core requirements, and I am pleased to see our efforts rewarded. Since the February opening of our new QHR / Optimed offices in Winnipeg, Optimed has already sold and implemented 4 clinics in Manitoba. We look forward to supporting Manitoba eHealth in their continuing technology initiatives to improve patient care for Manitobans.”

CALGARY SCIENTIFIC PARTNERS WITH OPTIMED SOFTWARE

2009-05-12T10:55:00.012-07:00

Partnership created to make Electronic Health Records widely accessible

Calgary, AB – May 11, 2009 - Calgary Scientific Inc., a leading innovator in advanced visualization solutions, has partnered with Optimed Software Corporation to offer a seamless, comprehensive solution for the Electronic Health Record (EHR) distribution and viewing of laboratory and diagnostic imaging (DI) results. Through this unique solution, physicians can instantly access DI images and reports through their iPhone, laptop or desktop. This accessibility could cut wait times for imaging results by up to two weeks.

Canada Health Infoway has invested $1billion to improve the infrastructure for radiology diagnostic procedures, encouraging the conversion to digital technology so that diagnostic images can be stored and accessed electronically, with the goal of enhancing patient care and reducing system costs. That technology is largely in place in terms of image creation and storage. Now, extensive technical and financial resources are being allocated to EHR initiatives across North America. An important goal of these initiatives is to get the images to the referring physician as fast as possible.

Calgary Scientific specializes in advanced visualization software, marketed under the ResolutionMD™ brand of products, with a focus on the virtualization of Medical IT. Calgary Scientific’s products are accessible to a broad range of network and web-based users through the PureWeb™ platform which allows diagnostic images to be viewed on any browser-compatible computer hardware or mobile device. PureWeb™ enables significant traditional technical barriers to be overcome via a multi-patent pending, advanced web enablement platform. PureWeb™ has the exceptional capability to truly web enable even the most sophisticated third-party software products, and Calgary Scientific will aggressively pursue opportunities in the rapidly growing global EHR space with this leading-edge product.

Optimed has developed software that integrates with Calgary Scientific’s visualization platform to provide physicians who order lab and DI tests a secure web-based inbox for the physician to receive and sign-off regional lab results and DI reports, with immediate access from the DI reports to advanced digital medical images stored in geographically dispersed PACs systems. Physicians will be able to view DI images from their offices, operating rooms, or wherever they provide patient care. Optimed’s software is marketed as Accuro® EHR.

An agreement has been signed to license the PureWeb™ and ResolutionMD™ software to Optimed for integration into the Accuro® product line. It also allows for Optimed and Calgary Scientific to jointly market the integrated software through ‘software as a service’ (SaaS) distribution model. Optimed currently enjoys significant market penetration in the Canadian healthcare market with its Accuro product offerings, and is focused on growing market share significantly.

In announcing the signing Mr. Hildebrandt, President of Optimed Software said, “The integration of ResolutionMD™ and Accuro® EHR has created a solution that can provide seamless delivery of diagnostic images over the Web. It has the potential to revolutionize the distribution of patient diagnostic results records from labs and radiologists to referring physicians and to make a significant step forward in realizing the goal of a portable Electronic Health Record for all Canadians."

Pierre Lemire, President of Calgary Scientific said, “A truly comprehensive EHR solution requires that the digital patient images be immediately accessible and usable by referring physicians through a standard high-speed internet connection and web browser, in tandem with the patient’s traditional medical record and lab reports. For the first time this is possible across a large, distributed population of physicians with the recent market release of the PureWeb™ platform technology, in combination with the ResolutionMD™ diagnostic imaging product line. Now integrated with Optimed’s Accuro EHR software, this end-to-end solution provides a technical product breakthrough that completes the link between all the necessary information and imaging elements required by the specialist and referring physician populations to deliver very significant improvements in patient care, more rapidly, and at lower costs to the Healthcare system. We look forward to developing this significant new market opportunity together with Optimed.”

ACCURO EMR SELECTED AS PREFERRED PRODUCT SOLUTION FOR SASKATCHEWAN EMR PROGRAM

2009-05-04T15:49:00.011-07:00

Kelowna, BC, January 28, 2009 – Mr. Al Hildebrandt, President and CEO of QHR Technologies Inc. (“QHR” or the “Company”) (TSX-Venture: QHR) is pleased to announce that its electronic medical records (EMR) division, Optimed, has successfully reached the Preferred Product Solution stage in the Saskatchewan Medical Association’s (SMA) request for proposal (RFP) process to provide Saskatchewan physicians with a set of approved EMR products.

Optimed’s Preferred Product Solution is Accuro EMR. Four vendors, including Optimed, have been selected as Preferred Product Solutions through the EMR qualification process.

As one of the Preferred Product Solution vendors, Optimed will be required to enter into a Master Standing Agreement with the SMA and to modify its products to meet all of the SMA’s core EMR requirements. Optimed will then need to pass a conformance testing process to verify that all core requirements have been met before becoming an Approved EMR Vendor and being eligible for the SMA’s EMR Program.

The RFP process is intended to elect a limited number of pre-approved vendors to participate in the SMA EMR Program, with a choice of client-server or ASP platform architectures. The EMR Program will be made available to approximately 1,400 fee-forservice and contracted physicians within the province of Saskatchewan.

In announcing the selection of Optimed, Mr. Hildebrandt said “Over 50% of Saskatchewan’s physicians already use an Optimed system for their EMR, scheduling or billing workflows. In 2006 we acquired the ‘MedSoft’ customer base from Peardon Consulting and the ‘Medicentre’ customer base from IQMedX (formerly Rave Software). Once we become an Approved EMR Vendor, we expect that many of our Medicentre and Medsoft customers will switch to our flagship Accuro EMR system in order to qualify for inclusion in the SMA EMR Program which provides reimbursements to physicians.”

VP Sales, at 250-979-1717 or fchapman@optimedsoftware.com, or go to the Optimed
