  SANTA CRUZ, CA, Apr 29 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
VIVA Transcription, a leading provider in medical transcription services,
announced that its leading-edge client portal is providing an immediate
value-added service to medical professionals searching for patients who
may have recognizable symptoms of swine flu. Through its online search
function, doctors and other medical professionals can enter keywords such
as "Mexico," "fever," "cough," "sore throat," or "respiratory distress"
to immediately retrieve patient records with those terms. The search
feature also allows users to search by date as well, so medical
professionals can hone in specifically on the dates that symptoms of
swine flu became detectable.

    "As the urgency to identify patients who may have come in contact with
swine flu reaches epic proportions, VIVA's application is making it faster
and easier for clients to locate medical records of patients with likely
symptoms," stated Manuel Prado, CEO of VIVA Transcription. "Doctors
utilizing our transcription services do not have to spend valuable time
searching through paper documents, but can search through thousands of
their medical records stored on our server within seconds -- at a period
when time is of the essence."

    Additional enhancements to VIVA's online client portal include increased
download speed of transcripts, the ability for online editing, and free
faxing capabilities so doctors can instantly fax urgent transcripts
directly from their PC.

    "VIVA is very concerned about the impact of this deadly virus and is
committed to providing its clients with the tools necessary to quickly and
easily identify patients with possible symptoms for immediate follow-up,"
added Prado.
