CarePages Kiosks Connect Patients, Family & Friends

Portsmouth, RI - November 28, 2005 - As part of its commitment to providing self-service solutions to the healthcare market, Self-Service Networks is pleased to announce that it has partnered with TLContact to bring CarePages kiosks to healthcare facilities. CarePages kiosks enable hospitals to provide patients and families with a convenient solution for staying in touch with friends and loved ones before, during and even after a hospital stay.

CarePages, the leading patient website service, is a service of TLContact, Inc., a Chicago-based website company. CarePages are private, personal web pages created and accessed by patient families from a hospital's web site or from www.carepages.com. Offered as an innovative family-focused service by over 300 healthcare facilities across North America, CarePages operates as a fully integrated service of the facility. CarePages removes the burden of making multiple phone calls and allow families to share news in only a few seconds. CarePages is proven to build patient satisfaction, improve staff recognition and cultivate new donors.

CarePages kiosks make it easy for family members to create and update their personal CarePage. At the same time, CarePages kiosks are self-contained and secure, providing healthcare facilities with an ideal solution for unsupervised CarePages use. Included kiosk software ensures that users can access CarePages without the ability to surf the Web or launch other applications.

"CarePages is a powerful and innovative service for families dealing with health crises, and we believe that CarePages kiosks will enable hospitals to extend this service to more patient families," said Thomas Smith, President of Self-Service Networks.
