Toronto, Ontario - December 1, 2004 - Canadian Medical Network is pleased to introduce FONEMED-CMN, a new company designed to provide nurse triage services to North American, Caribbean and international markets.

The new partnership between CMN and FONEMED North America's (www.fonemed.com) call centre provides a 24-hour, seven days a week nurse triage service to physician practices, hospitals, and affiliated groups in United States and Canada. The call centre, accredited by URAC (www.urac.org), is based in St. John's, Newfoundland. Registered nurses there provide medical advice and assistance to subscribers by telephone and Internet. Proven medical protocols by world famous pediatrician Dr. Barton Schmitt and adult medicine specialist Dr. David Thompson combine with the latest computer / telephone technology so that the nurses guide callers to the right care at the right time and place.

“We see this acquisition as a strategic component for CMN to expand its service base and to develop new and innovative services for our clients,” says John Park, CMN's President. “A nurse triage system that provides health information to patients complements our case management expertise. We are excited to add a valuable and accomplished staff and an excellent and established triage software platform to augment existing services.”

"FONEMED North America welcomes this new partnership with Canadian Medical Network. Established leaders in case management and telephone nurse advice will now be able to offer an integrated range of exciting new services to improve care and reduce costs for consumers, providers and payers of health care," says Ken Bleakley, President & CEO of FONEMED North America.

CMN is an international health management company that assists clients to successfully navigate an increasingly complex global heath care system with ease and economy. The doctors, nurses and professional staff seamlessly integrate services among hospitals and physicians while actively advocating for patients.

The company’s medical case management, provider discounts, customized services and updated technology are interwoven to provide the best possible medical care for the patient while reducing and managing risk and costs for the insurer.
