CITATION and Data View International Sign Marketing Pact.

ST. LOUIS--(BW HealthWire)--Feb. 26, 1997--CITATION Computer Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CITA) of St. Louis, Missouri and DataView Imaging International, Inc. of Norcross, Georgia have formed a strategic alliance and signed an agreement to market products that ultimately will enable healthcare providers to optimize patient care from all locations within their enterprise.

Under the terms of the agreement, both companies will retain their identities in the marketplace. DataView Imaging International will continue to sell its leading-edge telemedicine and imaging solutions. CITATION will integrate DataView's imaging capabilities into its clinical solution offerings. The combined offering will give healthcare providers access to treatment data from anywhere they see patients.

In today's healthcare environment, physicians and clinicians who treat patients at hospitals, clinics, nursing homes and HMOs need access to patient treatment data -- including X-rays and laboratory test results -- at all of those locations. The strategic alliance between DataView and CITATION enables clinicians to, for example, access a patient X-ray stored at the hospital where it was taken and where the patient is being treated, view it at the outpatient clinic where the physician is practicing, highlight a specific area in the X-ray and make notations using voice dictation and, in a matter of seconds, re-transmit the X-ray to the original source.

Kurt T. Farhy, President and CEO of DataView International, said, "The strategic alliance and marketing partnership between CITATION and DataView presents a clear integration and upgrade path for our companies and our customer bases in an ever-changing healthcare environment. We will focus on managing the work flow of patient information by integrating products and solutions through open architecture. DataView Imaging International will provide the clinical diagnostic imaging component and telemedicine solutions for radiology, pathology (lab) and cardiology, integrated into CITATION's product line, beginning with C-RIS for radiology. This alliance will enable DataView and CITATION to expand distribution channels in a fast-growing global marketplace and provide a wider spectrum of products and services to our established users. We anticipate a long, successful and productive partnership."

According to J. Robert Copper, CITATION's Chairman and CEO, "Our strategic alliance with DataView Imaging International will help our customers provide better patient care by making available critical patient treatment data -- including clinical images like X-rays -- at the locations where the clinicians and physicians need access. It enhances our software solutions offerings to our 450 customers, and it integrates with our corporate strategic direction of being a full- solutions provider, offering enterprise-level applications in a Microsoft Windows NT environment. In short, with this partnership, everyone wins: CITATION, DataView Imaging International and, most importantly, our clients."
