MarkCare Medical Systems and IBM Initiate Relationship.

Business Editors

BLOOMFIELD, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 17, 2000

Mark Solutions, Inc.'s (NASDAQ SmallCap Market: MSOL) subsidiary, MarkCare Medical Systems, Inc., announced today that IBM's eHealth Division has partnered with a MarkCare distributor, CHROME Global, to jointly pursue the Australia/New Zealand clinical imaging market, including PACS.

CHROME Global's experienced, senior sales force has primary responsibility for marketing. IBM, responsible for responding to customer Requests For Proposal (RFP), is serving as the prime contractor supplying hardware and systems integration services. The partnership is already actively responding to RFP's.

Carl Coppola, Chief Executive Officer of MSI, stated, "This agreement gives us an opportunity to capitalize on untapped revenue in a part of the world we have not previously been able to reach."

Mr. Clunies-Ross, Health Industry Manager, IBM ANZ, said, "As healthcare organizations continue to broaden their operations, the need for integrated, secure, scaleable networks is leading healthcare organizations toward some form of Internet-based communications. Internet-based technologies now point the way to methods of improving; care systems and patient responsiveness, while streamlining cost of operations and improving communications within increasingly far-flung healthcare organizations.

"The strength of IBM and CHROME Global's offerings in the e-health area is the end-to-end integrated solutions, that enables the achievement of the client's business objectives through web-enabled clinical information management," he went on to add.

MarkCare's proprietary PACS enables the digital capture and storage of all types of radiological images (x-rays, MRI's CT's, etc.). The expense to purchase and develop film is eliminated in a PACS-based radiology department. The use of PACS allows for increased productivity from the radiology department by sharply reducing the turnaround time of a radiological report and increasing patient throughput. The percentage of lost images and files is virtually reduced to zero versus loss rates of 8% or more in typical hospitals. Up-to-date patient history is available at all times, and can be viewed simultaneously from multiple locations including via the Internet. Digital image archiving virtually eliminates the need for large film storage rooms.
