FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 16, 2003

DataLoom Solutions, developer of leading-edge data warehousing and business intelligence software solutions for healthcare, has announced that the company has signed a multi-year agreement to provide its HealthWeaver technology to RxCanada Inc. RxCanada is owned by a consortium of major Canadian pharmacy chains that collectively manage data and deliver professional care programs for approximately 50 percent of the pharmacy business in Canada.

This agreement with RxCanada, located in Mississauga, Ontario, represents the first international client for DataLoom, a South Florida-based technology company. RxCanada will be installing DataLoom's HealthWeaver(TM) system to improve healthcare data analysis for the Canadian pharmacy and pharmaceutical marketplace.

"With the information that we can access through DataLoom's HealthWeaver(TM) software we can accurately assess the impact of pharmacy interventions on patient care, maintain vital information, and report on valuable program results in a timely, professional manner," said Kevin West, President and CEO of RxCanada. "We have been searching for a solution that would allow us to analyze large volumes of data quickly and accurately. We believe HealthWeaver(TM) has the technological design, speed and reporting performance that we need to meet our requirements for analysis of large volumes of data."

HealthWeaver(TM)'s ability to provide information-sharing offers a tremendous benefit to RxCanada by quickly delivering relevant information to those who need to know, while maintaining patient confidentiality and privacy at all times.

HealthWeaver(TM) provides an Internet/Intranet enabled, browser-based end-user reporting tool, which allows remote users to run, modify, or even create interactive reports and graphs. It features a suite of standard reports, covering nearly every aspect of healthcare operations and analysis; all easily customizable by the end user. Reports can be accessed with DataLoom's proprietary tools, or viewed in any Microsoft Office(R) product, such as Excel(R) spreadsheets and charts, Access(R) reports, plus a variety of other third party reporting tools.

"HealthWeaver(TM) offers a quantum leap forward in providing information needed to analyze patient utilization and improve health outcomes. It is fast, intuitive, and highly affordable," said Keith Collins, M.D., co-founder and CEO of DataLoom Solutions. "RxCanada will manage data from multiple sources and then report and analyze that data for relevant information needed to assess the value of pharmacist care on managing patient health."

HealthWeaver(TM)'s data analysis engine, using next-generation data warehousing and Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) tools, brings unprecedented power to analyze information and cost data, with speed, ease of use, and affordability.
