FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LANVISION SYSTEMS, INC. REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2004 RESULTS
- ----------------------------------------------------------

Cincinnati, Ohio, May 24, 2004 --- LanVision Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: LANV) today
announced the operating results for the first quarter ended April 30, 2004.

Revenues for the first quarter ended April 30, 2004 were $2.64 million, which
was approximately the same as the first quarter of last year. A decline in
systems sales over the prior comparable quarter was offset by a 48% increase in
ASPeN(SM) application-hosting revenues and a 10% increase services maintenance
and support revenues of $205,000 and $152,000, respectively. The operating loss
for the first quarter improved by 83% to $42,000, compared with an operating
loss of $248,000 in the first quarter of last year. The net loss for the first
quarter improved by 38% to $421,000, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, when
compared with a net loss of $675,800, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share in
the first quarter of last year. Both the operating results and net loss were in
line with management's expectations.

J. Brian Patsy, president and chief executive officer, stated, "Traditionally,
our annual revenues are back-end loaded and our first quarter is the most
challenging of the year. We believe fiscal 2004 will follow this same historical
pattern. Although first quarter's revenues were affected by delays in signing
anticipated new perpetual license contracts, we continue to anticipate annual
revenue growth with increasing operating margins from our very profitable ASPeN
application-hosting services. In addition, demand for Medical Record Workflow
technologies and healthcare information access systems is growing and our
strategic distribution partners are providing an increasing number of sales
leads and opportunities."

"During our first quarter", Mr. Patsy continued, "we successfully implemented
and put into production our accessANYware(TM) suite of medical record and
patient financial services


                                       3

workflows at Pattie A. Clay Regional Medical Center via our remote ASPeN hosting
center. Now that we have a very satisfied, showcase hospital in the small to
medium-sized segment of the healthcare market, we intend to aggressively promote
our success to take advantage of what we believe are substantial opportunities
to provide affordable workflow and document management application hosting
services to similarly sized healthcare organizations. In addition, during our
first quarter we also completed implementation and put into production our
codingANYware(TM) solution at a federal government military facility. We are
excited about the market potential to expand our services throughout other
federal government facilities via our remote ASPeN hosting center."

Mr. Patsy concluded, "We continue to closely monitor our expenses, which has
enabled us to maintain our services, maintenance and support gross margin in the
60% range and enabled us to almost double our application-hosting margin
contribution to $416,000 or a 66% gross margin, when compared to the prior
comparable period. The addition of new application-hosting clients generate
increasing margins as new clients do not require corresponding increases in
operating expenses as the current system is capable of handling additional
volume without major increases in capital assets. Finally, over the last 12
months, we have reduced our long-term debt by $2,000,000, and made a
discretionary $1,500,000 payment on the deferred interest in the first quarter
of the current year. We continue our efforts to improve both our profitability
and our balance sheet. Our cash balance of $4,511,000 is only $610,000 less than
a year ago notwithstanding that our debt has been significantly reduced during
that period. We anticipate refinancing in the range of $3,000,000 of accrued and
unpaid interest on our long term debt on schedule in July 2004, at a
significantly lower interest rate than the current debt."

ABOUT LANVISION SYSTEMS

LanVision is a healthcare information technology company focused on digitally
streamlining healthcare by providing solutions that improve document-centric
information flows while complementing and enhancing existing transaction-centric
healthcare information systems. The Company's workflow and document management
solutions bridge the gap between current, inefficient paper-based processes and
transaction-based healthcare information systems by 1) electronically capturing
document-centric information from disparate sources, 2) electronically directing
that information through vital business processes, and 3) providing access to
the information for authenticated users (such as physicians, nurses,
administrative and financial personnel and payers) across the continuum of care.


                                       4

The company's workflow-based products and services offer unique solutions to
specific healthcare business processes within the Medical Record life cycle and
the revenue cycle, such as remote coding, abstracting and chart completion,
remote physician order processing, pre-admission registration scanning,
insurance verification, denial management, secondary billing services,
explanation of benefits processing and release of information processing.

LanVision's products and services also create an integrated document-centric
repository of historical health information that is complementary and can be
seamlessly "bolted on" to existing transaction-centric clinical, financial and
management information systems, allowing healthcare providers to aggressively
move toward fully Electronic Medical Record processes while improving service
levels and convenience for all stakeholders. These integrated systems allow
providers and administrators to dramatically improve the availability of patient
information while decreasing direct costs associated with document retrieval,
work-in-process, chart completion, document retention and archiving.

LanVision's systems can be provided on a subscription basis via remote hosting
services or installed locally. LanVision provides ASPeN, ASP-based remote
hosting services to The University Hospital, a member of The Health Alliance of
Greater Cincinnati, M. D. Anderson Cancer Center and Children's Medical Center
of Columbus, Ohio among others. In addition, LanVision has installed its
workflow and document management solutions at leading healthcare providers
including Stanford Hospital and Clinics, the Albert Einstein Healthcare Network,
ProMedica Health System, Inc., the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center,
Medical University Hospital Authority of South Carolina, and Memorial
Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
