Medworxx (TSX VENTURE:MWX), provider of healthcare solutions for decision
support, compliance and education, announced today a new independent assessment
platform that will enhance support of the new standardized Ontario Alternate
Level of Care (ALC) definition.


In early spring, the Ontario Wait Time Information Program (WTIP), Cancer Care
Ontario (CCO), in consultation with other partners, released a standardized
Provincial Alternate Level of Care (ALC) definition. Communication and education
efforts are underway for this definition and Ontario hospitals are to commence
using this standardized definition July 1, 2009.


Medworxx has been closely following the developments of this new definition. The
Medworxx Utilization Management System (UMS) continues to comply with the
Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) ALC definition and it also
complies with the recently released Provincial ALC definition for Ontario.


According to the Ontario Health Association, there are approximately 30,000
hospital beds staffed and in operation in Ontario. Currently, the Medworxx UMS
is used in hospitals in Ontario managing over 5,600 of those beds. The new
Independent Assessment platform can be used with existing Medworxx solutions or
standalone.


Medworxx is pleased to announce the development of a new platform to support
Independent Assessments. The Independent Assessment platform is a powerful
application that allows hospitals to perform additional assessments on patients.
The first item released for our new Independent Assessment platform addresses
Alternative Level of Care (ALC). The Medworxx ALC Status Independent Assessment
will be available shortly to better assist hospitals and organizations to
capture enhanced detail for superior reporting on the new Ontario standardized
ALC Definition. This module will specifically address prompt ALC designation and
provide a new ALC Status feature to record and monitor ALC status, discharge
destination and chronic co-payment details. It will also provide the flexibility
and configurability to capture additional details around organizational specific
terminology and processes.


"The Independent Assessment Platform will be valuable for all Medworxx UMS
customers, especially those in Ontario, and to all Ontario hospitals whether or
not they are currently using Medworxx solutions", said Wendy McLaughlin,
Director of Clinical Services, Medworxx. "We are pleased to the release of this
platform coincides with the release of the standardized Ontario ALC Definition."
