eHealth Global and HKS Team Up To Connect Transplant Department Patient Records with External Data Through a Single Access Point

DALLAS, TX April 21, 2008- eHealth Global Technologies, Inc., the industry-leading provider of patient medical records management services, and HKS Medical Information Systems, Inc., the developer of the OTTR Electronic Health Record and Workflow Management system, have entered into an agreement to offer a fully integrated solution that streamlines medical record management for Transplant departments. The announcement was made today at the 16th Annual United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) Transplant Management Forum in Dallas.

This agreement brings together the OTTR (Organ Transplant Tracking Record), a patient tracking application and electronic health record developed specifically to meet the needs of organ transplant centers, and eHealthConnect™, a medical record management service that collects, digitizes, organizes, secures and stores outside patient records. The eHealthConnect service will be accessible from within the OTTR system so that users will have one user interface for all referred patient medical record requests. eHealth Global will then retrieve, digitize and upload the record directly into the transplant center's OTTR system. By encapsulating a PDF in an HL7 message, users can append existing patient records with outside data for a more complete electronic medical record. Images can also be collected, digitized and made available for viewing securely via eHealth Global's eHealthViewerTM from within the OTTR application.

"eHealth Global is proud to work with HKS and integrate our unique medical record service with the industry-leading OTTR system," said Michael Margiotta, CEO, eHealth Global Technologies, "As a result of this agreement, transplant departments will now have one user interface for a more complete patient medical record management process that can only positively impact the patient care process."

eHealth Global's portfolio of services are centered around the collection, digitization and access to medical records and images on behalf of referred patients to tertiary care facilities and specialty clinics, and community-based health networks with disparate record management systems.

"OTTR is designed to meet the real-time data needs of transplant departments by improving patient and record management, and this agreement is the perfect solution for bringing together external, referred patient medical records with the center's existing data, " said Mary Cockerill, President and CEO, HKS Medical Information Systems.
