NEW YORK, Dec 11, 2008 — Guidenz, the medical information business unit of Cerebrio, LLC, a part of Omnicom Group Inc., and MedLink International, a company dedicated to providing the medical community with applications and services that ease the accessibility of physicians and patients to electronic medical record, announce the signing of an exclusive agreement to develop and market a suite of unique information products and services.
This collaboration will allow the development of highly-targeted commercial information products and continuing medical education (CME) programs for physicians, based on aggregated, HIPAA-compliant patient information derived from individual physicians’ own patient populations. This informational core will enable the two companies to reach into individual physicians’ panels of patients and identify specific practices or particular interest groups of importance to medical marketers or educators. As a result, industry will now be able to direct surveys and market research to a much greater degree than is presently possible by any other means. For example, physicians with more than 100 active diabetes patients can be identified and the aggregate improvement of the patients can be tracked by viewing changes in laboratory results subsequent to the inclusion of a new drug in their therapeutic regimen. Similarly, physicians interested in a new Internet-delivered CME program can be identified and contacted about participating.
The inclusion of aggregated patient information in the identification of specific practices and the ability to invite physicians to participate in education, research, or marketing programs is unique and represents a market-moving event.

Software Complies with Updated Interoperability Requirements
CHICAGO, IL --September 30, 2008– The Certification Commission for Healthcare Information
Technology (CCHIT®) today announced that MedLink International, Inc.’s product MedLink
TotalOffice EHR 3.1 is a CCHIT Certified® 08 Ambulatory EHR, and meets the Certification
Commission’s electronic health record (EHR) criteria for office-based use. Ambulatory EHRs are
designed for physician offices and clinics where most Americans get their healthcare. The
Commission – a private, nonprofit organization – is the Recognized Certification Body in the
United States for certifying health information technology products.
“Two key new areas of interoperability are required to achieve 08 certification,” said Mark
Leavitt, M.D., Ph.D., chair, CCHIT. "First, ambulatory EHRs must be capable of advanced
electronic prescribing functions so physicians can qualify for bonuses under Medicare’s new
incentive program. Second, EHRs must be able to send and receive an electronic patient
summary. These and other new criteria will ensure that certified health IT products help improve
quality, safety and efficiency while protecting the privacy of health information.”
In the third year of the program’s operation, the criteria and testing have been
significantly updated again to provide physicians with more assurance that certified products will
meet their needs for functionality, interoperability and security. The Commission added 19
criteria to the 200 required in 2007. Those changes were focused on the ability to exchange
patient information with other systems. A CCHIT Certified 08 Ambulatory EHR ensures:
- Additional electronic prescribing features: access to the patient’s medication history,
- formulary, and eligibility.
- Better and safer medication dosing, adjusted for patient weight and other factors.
- Better ability to prevent adverse reactions due to drug interactions or allergies.
- Use of standard formats to exchange basic patient information for continuity of care.
- Enhanced ability to view X-rays and other diagnostic images.
- Better management of patient consents and authorizations.
- Increased use of standard formats when receiving and storing laboratory results.
As a CCHIT Certified product, MedLink TotalOffice EHR 3.1 has been tested and passed
inspection of 100 percent of these new criteria.
“2008 CCHIT Certification is both a testament and validation of the MedLink Total Office
EHR application, showcasing MedLink’s ability to offer functionality, interoperability and quality,
all at an affordable price.” Said Ray Vuono, CEO of MedLink International, Inc. “2008 CCHIT
certification is the gold standard of the industry showcased by recent reports that the of the more
than $700 million available in private and public initiatives for healthcare IT adoption, the majority
of the subsidies and grants require current year CCHIT certification.”
The CCHIT Certified “seal of approval” for EHR products provides a consensus-based,
government-recognized benchmark for ambulatory EHR products. By looking to products with the
CCHIT Certified seal, physicians and other providers can reduce their risk in selecting an EHR
product, allowing them to focus their evaluation on the special needs of their practices.

SUFFOLK COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY ENDORSES MEDLINK INTERNATIONAL

More than 1,000 physicians in Suffolk County will be offered as a benefit of their membership with the Suffolk County Medical Society MedLink’s products and services including the MedLink TotalOffice, a complete Practice Management and Electronic Health Record application.
Stuart Friedman, Executive Director of the Suffolk County Medical Society stated “MedLink offers our physician members a unique and effective avenue to communicate with the patient community the issues affecting the healthcare community such as medical liability reform. One of the Societies major difficulties has been the inability to effectively communicate directly with patients in doctor’s offices about the issues physicians are facing. MedLink TV allows a message to be shared without the additional efforts of overworked physicians and staff that can be reluctant to discuss political issues directly with patients that affect healthcare as a whole and ultimately trickle down to the patient.”
Suffolk County Medical Society members will receive a 40” flat–screen MedLink TV, a more than $5,000 value, for free as long as they are in good standing with the SCMS. Physicians can sign up for the service at www.medlinktv.com, in addition to finding out more information about the program.

MedLink is establishing an unmatched record of physician advocacy and patient education with MedLink TV installations in 7 states to date and continues to promote the importance of providing physicians with Simple, Secure and Affordable tools to run their practices.”

MedLink Partners with LifePoint Informatics to Provide Lab Sponsored MedLink EHR for Referring Physician Practices
Islandia, NY –MedLink International, Inc. (otcbb:MLKNA.OB) announced today that it has partnered with LifePoint Informatics, a leading systems provider of web-based order entry and results reporting solutions to labs nation-wide, to provide a sponsored MedLink EHR offering for laboratories. LifePoint and MedLink have completed the integration of LifePoints LabTest system within the MedLink Total Office EHR and are in the process of testing a Beta version. Thereafter, Labs will be able to offer their referring Physicians their own Lab sponsored EMR and EHR enabled practice management system.
Jack Redding, President of LifePoint stated, “The purchase of EHR systems, have been prohibitively expensive for both physicians and the labs who are willing to subsidize the costs for their referring Physicians. The MedLink EHR, with its ease of use, complete functionality and more importantly affordable pricing, finally presents the lab community a solution that can gain penetration and begin to create the standard we all talk so much about.”
Ray Vuono, President of MedLink International, further stated “Partnering with LifePoint, allows MedLink users to gain real-time access to lab result data from their Laboratories, which will further incentives the adoption of EMR and EHR technology and reduce costs to the physicians. By giving physicians options for services like lab facilities physicians can help support local hospitals that are starving for the added revenue by allowing them to compete against the national lab service companies".
