EMR by Nightingale is now fully funded through the $236 million EMR Funding Program announced by the Ontario Medical Association

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 12, 2009 -- Nightingale Informatix Corporation (“Nightingale” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: NGH), an application service provider (ASP) of electronic medical record (EMR) software and related services, is pleased to report that the Ontario Medical Association (OMA) announced to its physician members that it has successfully negotiated $236 million in funding with the government of Ontario to advance the adoption of electronic medical records (EMRs) among practice-based family physicians and specialists in the province.

The new funding program stipulates that all physicians operating in practices of less than three physicians will qualify for funding if they use a certified Application Service Provider solution (ASP) hosted at eHealth Ontario.

In 2008, Nightingale was selected as one of only three certified and funding eligible ASP EMR systems in Ontario. This followed an open Request for Proposal (RFP) and extensive evaluation process conducted by OntarioMD. Subsequently, Nightingale entered into a 15-year agreement with eHealth Ontario for the provisioning and hosting of the company’s EMR system and making it available to funded Ontario physicians.

“This program and financial commitment from the Ontario Government are much needed catalysts for driving adoption of EMR and for creating a tangible mainstream market in Ontario,” said Sam Chebib, President and CEO of Nightingale. ”Nightingale is well positioned to take advantage of these developments and has been preparing its technology, sales and implementation resources to capture our share of that market. It is excellent news for Ontario physicians and patients, and an important step towards improving the province’s healthcare system."

OntarioMD will begin accepting applications for funding on November 2nd, 2009. The program runs until March 31, 2012. More information is available at www.ontariomd.ca.
