Signet Diagnostic Agrees to Utilize MedLink EHR at Its 16 Florida Locations to Deliver Studies to Over 17,000 Physicians

MedLink International, Inc. has entered into an Agreement with Signet Diagnostic Imaging Services, LLC. Under the terms of the agreement Signet will utilize the MedLink VPN to deliver radiology reports and related DICOM images from its 16 radiology centers in the state of Florida to its more than 17,000 associated physician offices. MedLink will deliver the images and reports to the physicians over the MedLink VPN, who in turn will utilize the MedLink EHR lite version to generate an electronic health record of each patient that is referred to Signet. This will allow the referring physicians to generate a more accurate patient file and improve the overall efficiency and quality of care with the ability to view current and past reports at a "click."

The Company announced in December of 2006 and earlier in January that it had entered into similar agreements with Doshi Diagnostic that has 23 radiology clinics in New York and New Jersey and services over 25,000 physicians in the New York metro area. With the addition of the Signet partnership, the MedLink EHR will now be the primary delivery method of images and reports to 42,000 physicians in New York, New Jersey and Florida establishing MedLink as the largest integrated radiology delivery method in the industry. With more than 40 radiology clinics now utilizing the MedLink Remote PACS, MedLink will be transmitting more than 8,000 studies a day and generating personal health record (PHR) information on more than 2 million patients annually.
