Family Medicine Education Consortium, Inc. Endorses PatientCarenet.Org

Offers Physicians Peer Networking, Patient Record Sharing, and Secure
Messaging to Facilitate Instant Collaborative Patient Care Among Physicians

DAYTON, Ohio, Oct. 29 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Family Medicine Education
Consortium, Inc. (FMEC) and Human Science, Inc. (HSI) announce an effort to
create virtual teams that connect primary care physicians with the
sub-specialist physicians with whom they share the care of patients, improving
the quality and safety of care while reducing costs and frustration. As a
result of this relationship, FMEC has endorsed and its members utilize
PatientCarenet.Org, an Internet-based inter-physician communication platform
that allows physicians to securely and directly connect in virtual teams where
primary care physicians and sub-specialist physicians with whom they share the
care of patients can share information quickly and efficiently. HSI will
present information on the PatientCarenet.Org during the Innovator's Network
Workshop Oct 30, 2009 at its annual conference in New York.

PatientCarenet.org allows physicians to engage in immediate and secure
dialogue with colleagues through threaded messages, virtual conferences, and
discussion boards. This new health care technology tool improves the quality
of health care and patient safety, while increasing the efficiency of a
doctor's practice. It reduces peer-physician communication challenges enabling
real-time, direct doctor-to-doctor communication -- enhancing professional
relationships, freeing up doctor's times and improving care and
inter-physician relationships which ultimately leads to the improved treatment
of patients and fosters collaboration and practice growth.

"Currently, HSI is the only company that has developed and tested a tool that
supports physician collaboration," said Steven M. Schwartz, MD, FAAFP,
Associate Dean for Informatics, Associate Professor, Family Medicine
Georgetown University School of Medicine and member of the Family Medicine
Education Consortium. "PatientCarenet.org overcomes the realities of our
disconnected practices and changes the way we practice, meaning less hassle to
deliver the highest quality care to our patients," he added.

"We know that Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) promise to deliver these
results, but we have yet to find an EMR that provides the capabilities and
efficiencies that match this service," said Y.K. Son, Founder of HSI. "Today,
most medicine is practiced outside of the hospital, often in small office
practices. In fact, nearly 80% of physicians provide care in practices with
fewer than 5 in-house physicians. This creates a "silo effect" -- small
systems that cannot exchange information with each other incapable of
reciprocal communication. Current means of information transfer include phone,
e-mail, and written reports which are cumbersome and inefficient. Callers
waste time navigating answering services, secretarial staff, and endless
'on-hold' times. On the receiving end, such items interrupt patient visits,
workflow and physician concentration, and extend patient wait times. E-mail
has not been adopted by many physicians mainly to security and privacy
concerns, costs of implementation, workflow changes, and potential
incompatibilities with patient records. Written documents, such as discharge
summaries, are often lengthy, and may miss critical information. Many
communications vehicles offer no easy way to respond or clarify issues. Our
system was designed to meet these needs and provide physicians with a secure,
multi-directional communications vehicle for the health care professional to
exchange key patient information."

In addition to being endorsed by the Family Medicine Education Consortium, HSI
has also been selected to present on October 30, 2009 at its annual conference
at the Hilton Rye Town Hotel in Rye Brook, New York. The conference hosts
workshops and seminars of current interests in family medicine. HSI will
present PatientCarenet.Org at the Innovator's Network Workshop, moderated by
William Terry Kane, MD.

About PatientCarenet.Org
To improve relationships with colleagues and collaborate among peers,
physicians need a system in which key information (consult request, status
report and test results) is transmitted, and received, allowing for
multi-directional exchange. To meet the challenges of collaboration, HSI has
developed PatientCarenet.Org, Internet-based software that offers a
comprehensive solution to the problems of physician networking, patient record
sharing and secure messaging.

Within PatientCarenet.Org, virtual collaboration teams may be built amongst
primary care physicians and the sub-specialists to whom they refer patients.
Physicians can quickly dialogue with structured messages that ensure a
complete circle of communication. This collaborative ability results in better
care of your patients and less stress and confusion for the physicians
involved. PatientCarenet.Org (a web software) and Physicians' Digital
Messenger (a Windows software) provide you and your network of colleagues the
following communication solutions: build your own virtual team with whom you
refer and share patients; quickly dialogue with structured messages that
ensure a complete circle of communication between the primary care and
sub-specialist physicians; coordinate complex care plans through the patient
conference board.
