Anesthesia Business Consultants Offers F1RSTAnesthesiaRecord (FAR) Powered by Shareable Ink

Innovative digital pen and paper technology delivers the benefits of electronic
medical records without changing individual workflow
JACKSON, Mich. & BOSTON--(Business Wire)--
Anesthesia Business Consultants, LLC (ABC) and Shareable Ink Corporation today
announce the general availability of F1RSTAnesthesiaRecord (Powered by Shareable
Ink). FAR allows anesthesiologists, nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) and
anesthesiologists assistants to create an electronic patient record by
completing familiar forms using "digital" pens.

FAR delivers the benefits of electronic medical records to anesthesiologists and
CRNAs without changing their workflows. Anesthesia providers handwrite on paper
forms that are nearly identical to their current anesthesia records, using a
digital ballpoint pen that records their keystrokes. In short, providers chart
everything pertaining to the anesthesia care provided to a patient on a paper
anesthesia record, just as they have always done.

But now, when they bring the patient to the recovery unit, anesthesia providers
can wirelessly synchronize their pens by docking their pens into cradles, and
all the information is immediately and securely transmitted to remote servers
hosted by Shareable Ink.

Within seconds, handwritten text (print or cursive) or marks are converted to
ASCII (human and machine readable) text and discrete data. The case information
can be reviewed and electronically transferred to F1RSTAnesthesia, ABC`s
proprietary practice management software system. In addition, providers can be
immediately notified of incomplete or erroneous anesthesia records, such as
missing anesthesia end times, via text message or email.

FAR was invented by Vernon Huang, MD, using the Shareable Ink technology. Dr.
Huang is a practicing anesthesiologist and an ABC client. After seeing a
demonstration, ABC quickly appreciated the potential of a simple record-keeping
system that literally requires no training of anesthesia providers and yet could
generate digitized records that increase the speed and accuracy of payment
claims submitted to health insurers.

Under the partnership agreement, Shareable Ink receives exclusive rights to
integrate with F1RSTAnesthesia. In addition, ABC will be the sole anesthesia
billing and practice management company to resell or independently license the
Shareable Ink technology.

This partnership and product launch represents the second major enhancement to
ABC`s service offerings in the past two years. In 2008, ABC obtained rights to
offer the Quantum Clinical Navigation System both in conjunction with
F1RSTAnesthesia and as a stand-alone product. Quantum is the most comprehensive,
most highly tested and proven continuous quality feedback loop system in the
market today.

"I am extremely pleased to offer FAR to existing and new clients,"says ABC
President and CEO, Tony Mira. "By combining the familiarity of paper with the
benefits of computerization, FAR is an elegant implementation of information
technology that will surely replace traditional pen-and-paper systems."

"ABC`s F1RSTAnesthesiaRecord is an excellent demonstration of the Shareable Ink
approach," says Stephen S. Hau, President and CEO of Shareable Ink. "By
partnering with ABC, the industry`s market share leader, we have greatly
extended our reach into the anesthesia market."
