VisualMED Clinical Information System Successfully Implemented: Kansas Hospital to Be Entirely Paperless By End of February

Posted on: Tuesday, 31 January 2006, 18:00 CST

VisualMED Clinical Solutions Corp. (OTCBB:VMCS) announces today that it has completed the deployment of its flagship Clinical Information System at Kansas Surgery Recovery Center, a Wichita area hospital that is one of the most modern specialty healthcare facilities in the United States.

The hospital is a privately owned orthopedic specialty hospital, which performs a greater number of operative procedures than most big city general hospitals, a first of its kind in the State of Kansas. With 10 operating rooms, the hospital performs between 8,000 - 10,000 operative procedures per year.

The VisualMED system operates across close to 100 workstations, with hundreds of users, including all doctors, all nurses, all other therapeutic staff (physical and occupational therapy, etc.), and most hospital Administrators. Users can access the VisualMED system on-site or remotely. Doctors and nurses are able to have full access to the system using mobile and wireless devices, as well as the fixed grid independent workstations throughout the hospital.

Surgeons and their staff use the system inside the operating and procedure rooms, creating comprehensive clinical notes in real time, which are then automatically uploaded to the patient's electronic medical record. The system is at all times interfaced with admissions, local laboratory, PACS, anesthesia equipment, and other key systems.

Due to the fundamental strength of the platform on which the VisualMED technology is based, the system has an extreme flexibility which has allowed this implementation to take place in a period of 5 months from contract signing to go-live.

VisualMED and hospital staff expects all clinical documentation to be entirely paper free by the end of February.

"We are pleased the speed of implementation of our system," says Gerard Dab, Chairman and CEO of VisualMED. "This shows that we can have a system go live in a small to medium sized hospital within a few short months of the contract signing, which means substantial savings for the hospital."
