TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 12/01/09 -- Healthscreen Solutions Inc. ("Healthscreen" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: MDU), a leading provider of EMR and practice-enhancing solutions to more than 4,000 Ontario physicians, today announced a program in conjunction with HP Canada that allows Ontario physicians to acquire and implement electronic medical record software on HP computers at no net cost.



The program will provide that Ontario physicians who sign up with Healthscreen for EMR will receive a complete version of Healthscreen's OntarioMD certified software; an HP technology bundle that includes a server, thin client PCs, monitors, and printers; and training, implementation and technical support services from Healthscreen and technology provider CCSI for five years. In addition, by adding Healthscreen's suite of Physician Services, physicians will be able to implement their EMR system at no net out-of-pocket cost to them.
