NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - May 10, 2010) - MedLink (OTCBB: [ MLKNA ]), a leading provider of Electronic Health Records and practice management solutions, is pleased to announce that SunCoast Health Partners has selected MedLink to deploy the MedLink Regional Health Information Organization Financial Stability Model. SunCoast Health Partners is a Joint Venture between the SunCoast RHIO, Inc. and for profit partners offering services to the healthcare community in the Southwest Region of Florida. The participation by SunCoast will include offering products and services to the more than five hundred Healthcare Providers in the SunCoast RHIO covered area of Florida.

"This venture between MedLink and SunCoast will provide affordable health information technology solutions to participants while providing financial benefits to support the adoption of Electronic Health Records. The agreement is a significant milestone for MedLink; as the five hundred healthcare practices are expected to generate sales of more than $4 million in the first year and in excess of $7 million over the subsequent four years," said Ray Vuono, President of MedLink. "MedLink's Clinical Lab Outreach Program is a unique approach to the communication and exchange of clinical lab results, which will extend the reach of the RHIO through increased participation by giving providers access to additional financial incentives to support their investment in EHR and clinical data exchange. Overall the goal is to provide the SunCoast RHIO health care providers with the clinical data and tools they need to provide the best quality of care to the patient population of the SunCoast region while minimizing costs through creative programs, partnerships, and technology; such as iMedicor's Clear Lobby, that ultimately will benefit all participants in the healthcare continuum."
