Nightingale Informatix and CPA sign license and distribution agreement

Nightingale Informatix Corporation ("Nightingale" or the "Company") (TSX-V: NGH), an application service provider (ASP) of electronic medical record (EMR) software and related services, announced today that it has entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Canadian Patient Access Incorporated ("CPA") to offer health related services to Canadian patients, through doctors using electronic medical records in their practices.

Using Nightingale's innovative patient-centric technology and secure web-based patient portal, Canadian Patient Access Inc. will offer doctors a patient services platform seamlessly integrated with Nightingale On Demand, the Company's EMR and Practice Management system. The unique platform will provide patients with direct access to their physician and to clinic administrators. It will allow patients to schedule medical appointments online at their convenience. The patient portal will allow patients to review and access their medical history and laboratory results online, request prescription refills, request eConsults with their physician and receive care, medication and appointment reminders, all in a sophisticated and secure, easy to use online environment.

"Today people want to be informed about their healthcare and to be involved in how it is managed," said Moe Jiwan, President of Canadian Patient Access Inc. "We use the Internet to enhance so many aspects of our lives, but we have only begun to realize what is possible when it comes to healthcare. One of our primary goals is to help doctors leverage the investments they are making in EMR, allowing them to engage with patients in a way that enhances the patient experience while adding efficiencies to the delivery of care."

Clinics will experience efficiency improvements as patients take advantage of the convenience and personalization of the patient portal. There will be tangible benefits resulting from patients using online self-service tools rather than contacting the clinic by phone or in person. And the integration of the portal with the Nightingale EMR and practice management system provides a highly efficient means of managing and delivering innovative services not covered by provincial health insurance plans.

"With this agreement we are poised to set a new standard in the way patient services are delivered in Canada. The management of Canadian Patient Access are proven leaders in the delivery of innovative patient centric healthcare," said Sam Chebib, President of Nightingale Informatix. "Along with their experience in marketing to patients & physicians, the investment that CPA is making will allow Nightingale to unlock the value of its patient portal technology and its extensive customer base of physicians across Canada to drive additional revenues and growth."

Under the terms of the agreement Canadian Patient Access Inc. will be the exclusive distributor of Nightingale's patient portal, Priority Access, in Canada. Nightingale will receive upfront consideration in the form of cash and equity, and it will receive ongoing royalties from the sale of services and technology. In addition, Canadian Patient Access Inc. will have non-exclusive rights to market and sell other Nightingale products including Nightingale On Demand, the company's web-based electronic medical record (EMR) system.
