02/06/2001

Lexi-Comp,Inc.,a leader in providing clinical information at the point-of-care,and Intelligent Medical Objects Inc.,a Chicago-based team of medical doctors,software developers and computer scientists,announced a multi-year agreement involving cross-licensing and marketing of their complementary flagship products.

As a result of the agreement,all of Lexi-Comp's licensees of its online Clinical Reference Library™(CRL Online)will have access to the advanced medical research portal from Intelligent Medical Objects,called IMO Health Search™. In addition,IMO will provide all of its Health Search licensees with access to Lexi-Comp's Clinical Reference Library™.

"IMO has a highly professional team of engineers, notes Lexi-Comp President Robert Kerscher, and IMO Health Search™ is certainly one of the more innovative information portals we've seen. It's a natural extension of our Clinical Reference Library™ for those who want to really dig in and research a topic, or who would like another cut on the information they receive from our resources. IMO's Personal Health Terminology™(PHT™)is built right into this product,and serves as a translator between proper medical terminology and the many variations that exist in the consumer and professional envi- ronments. This feature is valuable to us because it allows our content to reach a wider audience."

"Early on,we were impressed with the drug information database that we licensed from Lexi-Comp," said Frank Naeymi-rad,CEO of Intelligent Medical Objects. "The Clinical Reference Library™ goes much further. It's a very efficient,concise, and thorough reference source. It is an excellent resource for a large number of questions that come up during the course of medical care and research, plus it's widely used and trusted and meets our criteria for quality. Overall,Lexi- Comp's Clinical Reference Library™ nicely complements our IMO Health Search™ product and is certain to be a popular addition for our clients."

Demonstrations of IMO Health Search™ and CRL Online will be available from both companies at the upcoming annual conference of the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS)in New Orleans,February 5-8,2001(Lexi-Comp Booth #1825 and IMO Booth #2715 ).
