NEWS --

LOS ANGELES, March 11, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- MMR
Information Systems, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: FVRL), which through its
wholly-owned operating subsidiary, MyMedicalRec ords, Inc. (collectively, "MMR")
provides Web-based consumer-controlled Personal Health Records ("PHRs")
(www.mymedicalrecords.com) and electronic safe deposit box storage solutions
(www.myesafedepositbox.com), announced that it has selected Gene Barduson, whose
30-year career in Healthcare and Information Technology includes CEO positions
with Alteer Corporation, Apexion Technologies, Inc. and EDiX Corp., to build the
company's professional healthcare IT customer base, with an emphasis on
introducing its new MyMedicalRecords Pro ("MMR Pro") product to the healthcare
marketplace.

"We recognize that we need someone with Gene's credentials to help direct the
launch of MMR Pro," said Robert H. Lorsch, Chairman and CEO of MMR Information
Systems, Inc. "Gene's skill and success at selling products and services in
healthcare and information technology and his credibility in the industry is an
opportunity for MMR that could not come at a b etter time going into HIMSS. Gene
is also a respected CEO in the health IT venture world and we anticipate that he
will be instrumental in helping us create the strategic relationships necessary
to build on the company's value propositions."

"Allowing Gene Barduson to focus on professional healthcare will also enable me
to concentrate on government relations, including opportunities to benefit from
stimulus monies that might be available for Personal Health Records, as well as
exploitation of our secure online document storage system, MyEsafeDepositBox, to
the legal, insurance, banking and employee benefits marketplaces. We are excited
about Gene's involvement with MMR and look forward to his becoming a long-term
member of the company's senior management team," added Lorsch.

"MMRs unique design looks at medical information from the patient's point of
view," said Barduson. "It provides a peripheral vision of the patient's history
across the continuum of care. The time is right for personal health information
which is easy for each of us to access, and I am excited about the value MMR can
add to physicians, hospitals, payors and patients."

MMR Pro is a low-cost Electronic Medical Record ("EMR") designed to allow
physicians to efficiently scan and digitize their paper records, upload them to
a secure, Web-based portal and then be able to share records with patients
through a separate patient portal called MMRPatientView. Patients would then
have the opportunity to upgrade to a full-featured MyMedicalRecords PHR account.
Because MMR expects to offer an administrative reimbursement to physicians who
utilize its MMR Pro service, and patients have the opportunity to upgrade to a
full-featured MyMedicalRecords PHR, MMR Pro is expected to be a revenue driver
for the professional marketplace as well as creating an additional revenue
stream for the company.

Bardu son will be in attendance at the upcoming HIMSS09 Conference and
Exhibition, April 5-8 in Chicago, when MMR will demonstrate its PHR products and
launch its marketing strategies for MMR Pro.

Barduson began his healthcare technology career in 1989 as Executive Vice
President with Shared Medical Systems in Chicago, now part of Siemens AG, then a
billion dollar company providing clinical and financial software to hospitals.
As President and CEO of EDiX Corporation in La Jolla, California from 1996 to
1999, he engineered a turnaround situation resulting in the company being
purchased by IDX in 1999. Barduson remained with IDX until 2001, growing its
annual revenue to more than $100 million.

In 2001, Barduson was elected Chairman and CEO of Apexion Technologies, Inc.,
which supplied software, hardware and services to hospitals using bar-coding and
RFID technologies to manage the supply chain. He engineered the sale of Apexion
to Laws on in 2003. That same year, he was appointed President and CEO of Alteer
Corporation, which sold software for physician practices. Barduson raised
venture capital from Sanderling Ventures and others, and successfully
repositioned the company as a service company providing turnkey services to
physician practices. Alteer was purchased by American Health in 2007. Barduson
currently serves on the Board of Directors of four healthcare-related companies,
Benchmark, Heartland Information Services, PerfectServe and Vesatek, and was
appointed to the Board of Trustees of Western University of Health Sciences in
June 2008.

re ports and physician's notes), or scanned images can be uploaded, into a
secured personal account, which the user can access and organize as necessary,
including filing particularly sensitive documents in virtual lockboxes protected
by secondary passwords, and designating certain records as accessible to medical
personnel and first responders by way of a separate Emergency Login.
MyMedicalRecords PHR also includes the Cerner Multum Drug Content database,
licensed to MMR from Cerner Corp. (Nasdaq: CERN). MMR offers its
