CHARTCARE EMR Repeats #1 Rating in 2004.

LAKEWOOD, Wash. -- CHARTCARE, Inc. of Lakewood announces that their Electronic Medical Records (EMR) software has been rated 'Best in KLAS' in the Ambulatory EMR 6-25 Physicians category for the second straight year. KLAS Enterprises, LLC recently published the results of their 2004 'Top 20 Year-End Best in KLAS Report'.

KLAS is the only research and consulting firm specializing in monitoring and reporting the performance of healthcare information technology (HIT) software vendors. The KLAS database reports vendor performance data from over 4500 healthcare facilities, 300 HIT vendors and 500 different products.

"Our Mission", states Adam Gale, VP of Operations at KLAS, "is to improve healthcare information technology (HIT) delivery, by independently measuring vendor performance for the benefit of consultants, investors, vendors and our healthcare provider partners. Our subscribers should rest assured that we have pledged to perform our duty with accuracy and integrity, impartially reporting HIT vendor performance for the financial and operational success of those we serve."

"As our 20th year celebration comes to a close, it is rewarding to have repeated this achievement for a second consecutive year", said Dennis Niebergal, president and CEO of CHARTCARE. "We take great pride in the growth, stability and consistency of our Company and our product. We made it to the top of KLAS one year ago and we've managed to stay there. This recognition, coupled with a 30% growth in revenue, makes 2004 even more meaningful. We are confident that we will be able to maintain this trend and we look forward to the many opportunities that lie ahead in 2005."

CHARTCARE's unequalled Security and Privacy features combine with IBM's rock-solid server platforms to make the most secure Electronic Medical Records System in the marketplace. Physicians and staff feel more comfortable learning CHARTCARE software. Because of CHARTCARE's experience, training time is minimal and emphasis can be placed on identifying and dealing with change and workflow processes to help medical practices adjust to the transition to a 'chartless' environment with the least impact.
