Campbell, Ca., May 15, 2006 - Hunter Labs Introduces Rapid EMR Interface Capability
Hunter Laboratories, Inc., announced today that they have developed the capability to interface with virtually any EMR system within 2 - 4 weeks.

“Even if the EMR vendor will not communicate with Hunter, we can complete the interface within 30 days,” said Chris Riedel, CEO of Hunter Labs.

Over the last several years more and more physician offices have implemented Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems and are going paperless.

Patients benefit from immediate availability of their lab results, which are delivered electronically to the physician office as soon as they are completed.

Once the electronic lab results are received, they are integrated into the patient's electronic medical record, providing a complete view of all past medical history, which will aid in treatment collaboration.

Hunter’s EMR interface also provides an easy method for electronic ordering. After selecting a test ordering icon, the physicians most frequently ordered tests pop-up. With a simple click, the test is ordered.

If the physician sends patients to a Hunter Patient Service Center for specimen collection, nothing more need be done.

If the physician collects the specimen in their office, bar codes are immediately printed for the specimens. ICD-9 rules are displayed where required by the payor, and alerts occur if the ICD-9 rule fails for the tests ordered.

"We pride ourselves on the fastest turnaround time in the industry. With EMR interfaces, over 98% of

chemistry, immunology, hematology, coagulation and preliminary microbiology lab tests ordered will be available in the patient records before the physician gets to work the next morning," said Mr. Riedel.
