Medinex Systems, Inc. (OTC: MDNX), a healthcare technology company, today announced the release of MxSites, an affordable, turnkey web site solution for physician clinics,

The system enables healthcare organizations to deploy a professional web site for as little as $70 per month.

The Federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) contains stringent new legislation covering patient privacy rights that prohibits non-secure electronic communication of medical information. MxSites enable healthcare providers to offer secure electronic communication to their patients through the provider's individual web site. Physicians and their patients will benefit greatly from the ease and flexibility of Internet communications while strictly protecting patient medical record privacy.

The MxSites web site product is fully integrated into Medinex Systems' other technology products - Medinex Office, a web based patient management system, and MxSecure, a HIPAA compliant secure messaging solution. This integration enables patients to go to a healthcare provider's web site, request an appointment online, input their own patient demographics and communicate directly, safely and privately with their personal physician via online messaging.

"Affordability, ease of deployment and HIPPA requirements are the demand drivers for this product. A growing number of our clients have expressed the need to establish a presence on the web, but have been discouraged by the high cost and complexity of building their own site as well as by the inability to provide secure two-way email communication with their patients. Our web site design and hosting service incorporates the necessary security and can deploy a new site in just days with minimal investment," said Tony Paquin, CEO of Medinex Systems.

MxSites offers clients a wide selection of pre-defined medical web site templates. Clients simply choose a template and color scheme, provide their specific data, and Medinex web specialists do the rest. Medinex registers a unique web address for their clients and deploy the site in a matter of days.
