With the deployment of www.healthlab.net, a health information portal will provide expanded service via the Internet: -- Unique one-of-a-kind health report for the patient -- Targeted information assessing the patient's current health status -- Initiating "what if" scenarios for patients to enter their own laboratory values -- Appropriate and pertinent links to additional health information -- Augments the healthcare provider's instruction and interpretation of tests -- Comprehensive review of health data over time generating health deviations -- Calculating changes in health by Delta values -- Establish for each patient-user a personal electronic record -- Development of a central health data repository accessible by the Internet -- HIPAA compliant and secure of personal health information -- Personal health data available twenty-four hours a day from anywhere -- Secure an e-commerce position in healthcare information portals ``The success of Healthlab(TM) on the Internet is dependent upon the innovative technology of InterCare's MedMaster(TM) clinical software.

Toronto Stock Exchange - Globe says TSE mulls regulation overhaul Toronto Stock Exchange TSE Shares issued 0 1899-12-30 close $0 Friday Jul 21 2000 Also Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) Also Royal Bank of Canada (RY) The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday edition that the Toronto Stock Exchange is considering overhauling its institutional trading regulations in the wake of a scandal that saw 12 stock traders fined or suspended for their part in helping RT Capital artificially boost share prices. The Globe's Roma Luciw writes that Tom Atkinson, director of market regulation enforcement at the TSE says the exchange is looking at "bringing in new rules dealing with institutional trading in all aspects of the (TSE) member firms' trading and trying to raise the level of compliance within the firms." Mr. Atkinson did not indicate what type of changes are being considered. The TSE described the actions of the traders in helping to set higher artificial market prices as manipulative and deceptive trading. Industry experts echoed the TSE's concerns, calling for increased monitoring, updated rules and more detailed regulations to prevent future cases of high-closings. "It all deals with the integrity of the individual, and management sets an example in this too," said an industry source. (c) Copyright 2000 Canjex Publishing Ltd. canada-stockwatch.com
