HEALINX CORPORATION RECOMMNEDED BY CHRISTIANA CARE PHYSICIAN ORGANIZATION

Delaware-based Medical Organization Will Be Able To Conduct Online Doctor-Patient Communication

Alameda, CA, April 24, 2000 - Healinx Corporation, the premier provider of Web-based doctor-patient communications, today announced that the Christiana Care Physician Organization (CCPO) has recommended Healinx as its online doctor-patient messaging system. CCPO doctors numbering over 700 along with their patients will be able to establish personal communication online with the Healinx system.

With Healinx, patients can securely communicate online with their own doctor, schedule appointments, request prescriptions, refills and referrals to specialists, engage in consultation, access their medical profile online, and, together with their doctor, improve wellness through preventive care measures.

The Healinx system includes a patent-pending workflow tool that mimics the doctor's existing practice environment. Incoming patient messages are automatically routed to effectively delegate workload. The unique message templates generated by the system "on-the-fly" drastically reduce typing for both patients and doctors. In addition, the communication is more concise and accurate, reducing the need for time-consuming back and forth conversations, and virtually eliminating "phone tag," chart pulls, and prescription call-ins.

"A lot of Web-based healthcare companies are discussing how to harness the Internet for doctor-patient communication, but Healinx is the only one that can provide us with a solution today," said David Stephens, MD, and President and CEO of Christiana Care Physician Organization.

"Healinx's system enables our doctors to cut bottom line office expenses and increase staff involvement with patient care. Healinx offers a great solution for overcoming doctor-patient communication problems associated with traditional office telephone management."

"In the few weeks since we've endorsed the Healinx system at Christiana, a significant number of the CCPO doctors are already interested," said Giovanni Colella, MD, president and CEO of Healinx Corporation. "We are pleased that Delaware's leading medical services organization has already given Healinx's Web-based doctor-patient communication solution such a strong vote of confidence."
