DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - June 24, 2009) -

Metiscan, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: MTIZ), a holding company focused on growing its organization by making key acquisitions and developing companies and emerging technologies, today announced that the Company has refined the direction of its parent Company and managed services subsidiary. Coinciding with the refinement of the Company’s direction, Metiscan Managed Services, Inc. has been renamed FirstView EHR, Inc. to better define the Company’s end-to-end IT services for diagnostic imaging facilities.

Metiscan, the parent company, with its newly outlined direction is focused on growing its organization by making key acquisitions and developing companies and emerging technologies. Metiscan is actively seeking acquisition candidates that will add to the Company’s overall valuation. Metiscan’s management is most interested in pursing technologies and businesses related to mobile products and services. Metiscan has updated its corporate website www.metiscan.com to better reflect its new direction.

Metiscan Managed Services has changed its company name to FirstView EHR, Inc. (FirstView), www.firstviewehr.com. FirstView is focused on providing end-to-end IT services for diagnostic imaging facilities including web-based electronic healthcare records (EHR), workflow efficiency, PACS administration, long-term archiving, professional IT services and strategic consulting. FirstView differentiates itself from its competitors by providing comprehensive IT services in addition to its traditional hosted information management, teleradiology, and archive solution. FirstView enables diagnostic imaging facilities to focus on providing high quality patient care, increasing productivity, while reducing operating expenses.

Bryan A. Scott, President & CEO of Metiscan, Inc., commented, “These changes put Metiscan in a better position to expand its organization and increase its valuation. We have sharpened our focus and our subsidiary’s focus.”

Iain Shigeoka, Ph.D., President & CEO of FirstView EHR, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Metiscan, further added, “I believe the direction that FirstView EHR has chosen is more in line with our customers needs. Based on feedback from our customers and potential customers, we are now directly addressing their largest concerns with supporting electronic health records. Diagnostic imaging centers specialize in tending to patient care, not IT or electronic health record storage and retrieval. That’s where we step in and deal with all of the IT headaches and maintenance so our customers can focus on their business.”
