PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Healthscreen and Wolf form Western Canadian Partnership
Companies partner to extend EMR and practice enhancing services to thousands of Canadian physicians

TORONTO, ON and VANCOUVER, BC – October 9, 2008 - Healthscreen Solutions Inc. (TSX-V: MDU), a leading Canadian provider of physician practice enhancement services and electronic medical record (EMR) software, and Wolf Medical Systems, a leading national provider of electronic medical records (EMR) software, are pleased to announce a strategic alliance to offer their respective industry leading solutions to physicians in Western Canada.

Under the partnership agreement, the two companies will engage in joint marketing and sales programs to their respective customers. With many Canadian physicians already using the CallerMD service to manage uninsured services, Healthscreen will become the exclusive provider of this industry leading practice enhancing service to Wolf clients. In turn, Wolf will become the exclusive third party EMR provider to Healthscreen’s 1,000 British Columbia-based physicians, which were acquired in the Regent transaction in 2008.

Through British Columbia’s Physician Information Technology Office (PITO), Wolf is one of only six approved EMR vendors in BC for doctors eligible to receive government funding to implement EMR solutions, and is the only EMR vendor to be selected or conformant in BC, Alberta and Ontario.

“We are very pleased to enter into this partnership. Wolf has a proven EMR solution, a strong brand and a significant presence in Western Canada,” said Justin Belobaba, President and CEO of Healthscreen. “Given Healthscreen’s track record of successfully offering value add services to physicians through acquisitions or partnerships, we believe this collaboration considerably speeds-up our expansion process in the West, while increasing our distribution network to over 8,000 Canadian physicians. It also allows us to offer our software customers in British Columbia a seamless transition to a PITO-approved EMR product, while preserving that software revenue stream and continuing to offer those customers our practice enhancing physician services.”

”This partnership marks yet another important milestone in Wolf’s growth. As the only EMR solution selected or conformant in Alberta, BC and Ontario, Wolf is increasingly regarded as the solution of choice for physicians who require a complete and proven EMR solution for the long term,” said Brendan Byrne, President and CEO of Wolf. “CallerMD is a natural extension of our offering, helping us deliver a more complete solution to our clients. We are excited to offer Healthscreen’s Regent software customers a PITO-funded EMR continuity path and look forward to working with Healthscreen and their clients in BC.”
