- - Secure networking and data sharing site for physicians and medical professionals makes connecting with colleagues easier -

SAN DIEGO — March 30, 2009 — VisionTree Software Inc., is excited to announce the launch of the VTOC Network™, a secure, web-based networking platform for healthcare professionals. The VTOC Network will function as a free resource for peer-to-peer collaboration, patient referrals, project management and networking with colleagues in the global healthcare community. The Network provides healthcare professionals with tools to stay connected with colleagues such as profile creation, private group management, messaging and file sharing functions. The VTOC Network offers an ideal platform for research and project collaboration as well as communication between members of a coordinated care team.

More than 1,000 users provided their feedback during the alpha launch of the Network on the need for a secure easy to use site that allows healthcare professionals to maintain their profile, create and join groups and share data between researchers around projects and their coordinated care teams. Members who sign up on the VTOC Network designate their professional role within the healthcare system to ensure accurate search results and maintain a level of privacy with roles based access.

Key Features

1. Secure groups for updates, messaging and collaboration (join, create).
2. Forum discussion, share relevant links.
3. File sharing (upload, storage).
4. Secure messaging to individuals or group.
5. Profile settings, notification system.
6. Search for colleagues by specialty and location.
7. Send / Receive patient referrals.
8. Import / Export of consult notes between referring physicians.

The VTOC Network will also function as a repository for healthcare industry news and user created blogs for professionals around the world to share experiences and display relevant news stories. The Network includes YouTube® and Flickr® integration, as well as file upload, which will allow users to embed media on the site for discussion and review.

"Communication, collaboration and coordination between doctors is vital to quality patient care. The launch of the VTOC Network could not come at a better time as physicians continue to look for ways to stay in touch with colleagues", said Dr. Neil Martin, Neurosurgeon, and Chief Medical Officer of VisionTree. "Having a networking site tailored specifically for healthcare professionals provides the opportunity to communicate patient information faster and in more detail. Until now there was no place for medical professionals to go to connect with each other. This Network will provide me with the ability to collaborate and coordinate very complex treatment plans with multiple physicians. This ability to communicate is critical to providing higher levels of care, better patient experience and moving forward advancements in medical research.”

The VisionTree Optimal Care™ (VTOC) platform is in 7 of the top 10 U.S. News & World Report hospitals, research organizations, leading cancer centers and medical societies. With over 500,000 users of its web-based and mobile solutions for healthcare, VisionTree is providing a connection for data interchange for the healthcare ecosystem.

"In our discussions with physicians at conferences and hospitals around the country we realized there was a need for a networking site that supported secure, private collaboration and communication within the medical profession", states Adam Hawkins, Director of Technology at VisionTree Software. "We set out to design a network with specific functionality to benefit the physician and their coordinated care team. The VTOC Network will bridge the communication void and allow for professionals to connect around common interests, case review and patient referrals. This is the next step in the evolution of a connected healthcare ecosystem and we are proud to be launching this as a free service."

There have already been a large number of secure, private groups created on the VTOC Network for collaboration, research and project management. In addition, the VisionTree Optimal Care™ (VTOC) platform has delivered patient-centered data exchange, interoperability and quality data aggregation between disparate electronic record systems for leading academic hospitals, community sites, medical societies and research organizations.
