Health Care Application Advancements Focus on Cost Effective Administrative Solutions for Data Protection and Medical Record Processing

The health care services industry is in the midst of a technological
revolution, as innovators introduce advanced technology to consolidate and
simplify medical records for patients and other parties. The implementation of
a wide range of analytic data solutions that include software, hardware,
business consulting and intelligence, data storage and integration and more,
aims to reduce cost and administration. Health Care stocks with recent news
developments of note include: HemCare Health Services Inc. (OTC: HCRE),
athenahealth, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATHN), Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc.
(NASDAQ: MDRX), WebMD Health Corp. (NASDAQ: WBMD), Cerner Corp (NASDAQ: CERN).

HemCare Health Services Inc. (OTC: HCRE) "the Company" is pleased to announce
the launch of RecordsBank.org, a centralized system for patients, lawyers and
insurers, to retrieve and access medical records online, 24 hours a day, 7
days a week. The medical record bottleneck, despite the widespread
availability of secure electronic data transfer, most Americans' medical
information is stored on paper-in filing cabinets at various medical offices,
or in boxes and folders in patients' homes. When that medical information is
shared between providers, it happens by mail, fax or-most likely-by patients
themselves, who frequently carry their records from appointment to
appointment. Management believes that our centralized online portal can
greatly improve the completeness of patient's records, (which can have a big
effect on care), as past history, current medications and other information is
jointly reviewed during visits.

For patients and third-party requestors, obtaining paper medical records is a
costly proposition with frequent status calls, slow processing times, and high
administrative and scanning costs. The RecordsBank portal eliminates many of
the inefficiencies of paper-based release of information practices and clears
the bottleneck, creating a fluid exchange of information. Read this entire
release and more for HemCare Health at:

A low cost - easy to use online solution - RecordsBank.org, is an easy to use
online portal to our centralized system for patients, lawyers and insurers, to
retrieve and access medical records 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. RecordsBank
is a cloud-based PIPEDA and HIPAA compliant network of providers and record
requestors. Utilizing a secure platform, providers can securely exchange
records electronically with third-party requestors. Health care providers with
proper authorization can also share records with each other.
