LMS Shoulder Screen Risk Management Software Chosen By The University Of Maryland Medical Centre

Montreal, Quebec, August 15, 2006 – LMS Medical Systems (AMEX:LMZ; TSX:LMZ), a healthcare technology company and developer of the CALMTM clinical information system and risk management software tools for obstetrics, today announced that the University of Maryland Medical Centre (UMMC), Baltimore, Md. will be expanding its use of LMS obstetrical risk management tools and implementing CALM Shoulder Screen™.

Clinicians from UMMC have long recognized the critical nature of shoulder dystocia, a complication traditionally considered unpredictable and unpreventable that can occur during labor and delivery. This prompted their participation in the research leading to the development of the CALM Shoulder Screen, a tool to assess the risk of occurrence of this medical challenge. The implementation of CALM Shoulder Screen will complement their current use of the CALM™ Clinical Information System and the CALM Curve™.

“Shoulder dystocia not only presents as an emergency in the delivery room, it is also one of the leading causes of litigation in obstetrics,” said Dr. Hugh Mighty, Chair of Obstetrics at the University’s School of Medicine and Chief of Obstetrics at the hospital. “The program has the potential to help us anticipate and thus avoid about 50% of brachial plexus injuries with a relatively low number of extra cesareans. It makes a compelling clinical, social and risk management business case to be an integral part of our commitment to patient safety and clinical leadership.”

“We are very pleased to partner with UMMC in order to document the value of the risk reduction strategy provided by CALM Shoulder Screen,” said Diane Côté, President and CEO of LMS. “The hospital’s innovative care settings will highlight the predictive and preventive impact of the combined use of the CALM Curve and CALM Shoulder Screen.”
