QHR ANNOUNCES LAUNCH OF CLOUDWERX DATA SOLUTIONS INC.

Friday, June 26, 2009

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

Wednesday, June 3, 2009

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.”
