QHR Technologies Inc. (TSX VENTURE:QHR) ("QHR" or the "Company") a leader in the
Canadian Healthcare Information Technology sector, reports that its EMR
division, Optimed Software Corporation ("Optimed") has successfully passed
validation testing for OntarioMD's CMS 3.0 specification with its Accuro(R) EMR
software. Accuro EMR is now a funding eligible EMR offering within the province
of Ontario. 


Credit Valley Family Health Team (FHT) in Mississauga, Ontario switched to
Accuro EMR in May of 2010, an upgrade from their CLINICARE Corporation software
that QHR acquired in December of 2009. "Bottom line is that we've had a great
experience so far, a bit uncommon for these types of purchases and transitions.
We don't have any regrets, in fact, quite the opposite. The software just
worked." said Louise Smith, Executive Director Credit Valley FHT.


With conformance status in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario, eligibility for
BC's PITO Alternative Specialist Funding Program, the most EMR physicians of any
vendor in Alberta, and a presence in Nova Scotia, the Yukon and a number of US
states, Optimed is emerging as Canada's leading national EMR vendor.


"Accuro EMR becoming a funding eligible offering in Ontario is a major milestone
in our efforts to enhance patient care and physician productivity across Canada"
said Al Hildebrandt, CEO of QHR and President of Optimed who added, "On November
1, 2010 we announced that already in 2010 we had successfully installed 500
physicians on Accuro EMR. Optimed's ability to implement at small and large
sites in Ontario is key to successful conversions from Clinicare sites to Accuro
and also to add new physicians in Ontario, some of which may be funded under
Ontario's EMR funding program."


Optimed was the first approved vendor in Manitoba as of June 2009 and
subsequently won contracts with the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA)
for an estimated 254 physicians within the WRHA's regionally operated clinics
and another 230 physicians within their ambulatory clinics.


Additionally, Optimed is one of four approved EMR vendors in Saskatchewan, where
it was the first to reach the "Approved Vendor" status as of September 2009.


BC's PITO announced the Alternative Specialist Funding Program for EMR adoption
in June 2010, for which Accuro EMR is eligible. Since the announcement,
approximately 65 BC physicians have selected Accuro EMR, a strong indication
that Optimed is the EMR of choice for BC's specialist physicians.
