AUTOMEDICWORKS UTILIZES COMPUTERIZED SCREENING, INC.'S

Proprietary Technology Maximizes Practice Efficiency by Accurately

Measuring Vital Signs and Transmitting to Internet Based EMR

Sparks, NV - June 14, 2004 - Computerized Screening, Inc. (CSI) today

announced a strategic partnership with AutoMedicWorks, LLC. (AMW), " The

Practice Automation SolutionT " , a web based healthcare management

services provider that interfaces with all practice management systems.

CSI's Health Station, the leading tool for preventive health screening

and maintenance, will be part of AMW's practice automation solutions for

maximizing operating efficiencies and reducing operating costs in

physicians' offices. With a focus on enhancing the quality of patient

care, the customized program features Health Stations as the primary

point-of-service for patients. Following the initial launch of the

program in cardiology offices, the partnering of AMW's technology with

CSI will ultimately be expanded to other medical specialties, as well as

general medicine and hospital settings.

CSI's patented measurement methodology significantly reduces the risk of

medical errors, which greatly enhances the quality of care received.

During office visits, patients will have their vital signs measured by

best-in-class technology that is regarded as the most accurate

non-invasive, automated process in existence. The Health Station,

equipped with a secure Personal Medical Record (PMR) feature, will

communicate test results to AMW's web based Electronic Medical Record

(EMR) for simple recording and rapid physician reference. The Health

Stations' ability to store and transmit PMRs significantly enhances

practice efficiency by reducing paperwork and enabling nurses to focus

on patient care. AMW's proprietary web based practice automation

software allows the doctor at the point and time of service to:

schedule, order, document visits, diagnose patients, post charges, and

transmit results-while automatically ensuring compliance and securing

authorization.

" In the context of the AMW system, CSI's Health Station will readily

enable physician practices to achieve their goal of efficient,

cost-effective operations, with enhanced patient care, " says Dr. Gene

Myers, Founder of AMW. " Automating the vital sign tracking process

streamlines operations as it allows nursing staff to focus on patient

care as opposed to administration. We are confident that patient vital

sign testing will be precise due to the renowned accuracy of the Health

Station. "

Patented in 2001, CSI's proprietary monitoring technology uses all three

accepted, non-invasive measurement techniques - auscultatory (sound),

oscillometric, (pressure), and pattern identification, based on a 10

year MIT study. The system analyzes 6,500 samples to determine a single

blood pressure result. Additional benefits of CSI's Health Station

include a weight assessment tool, wheelchair accessibility, a complete

drug encyclopedia, and interactive health record management. Heart rate

testing, fitness evaluations, and body mass index determinations are

also available. For a more complete initial patient evaluation,

additional non-invasive vital sign testing and monitoring applications

are being added to the Health Station, including pulse oximetry and

temperature.

" Our partnership with AMW is an ideal way to bring the benefits of the

Health Station directly to consumers, via the physician's office, " says

Bluth, Founder & CEO of CSI. " We are pleased to be able to help

physicians maximize operating efficiencies, as they will be better able

to focus on the primary goal of enhanced patient care. "

In addition to U.S. government facilities, CSI Health Stations are

located in more than 3000 retail locations around the nation, including

Longs, Meijer, Publix, Price Chopper, Raley's, Randall's, Safeway, Save

Mart and ShopKo. In addition, CSI has established relationships with

hundreds of corporations around the country, including many Fortune 500

companies. CSI corporate clients include Hewlett-Packard, Boeing,

Colgate-Palmolive, American Honda, Apple Computer Inc., Blue Cross-Blue

Shield, Maniilaq Association, Maxwell House, Becton Dickinson,

Pharmacia, Astra-Zeneca, Dupont, Kaiser Permanente and Raytheon.
