Boston, MA - March 18, 2003 - PRNewswire. Seven hospitals have recently announced that their patient safety strategies will feature PatientKeeper's Clinical Application Suite, providing physicians with immediate access to lab results, medication profiles, microbiology and radiology reports, allergy profiles, and other critical patient information. PatientKeeper, one of the country's most respected providers of mobile enterprise systems, is experiencing significant growth in the use of their clinical applications as hospitals and care providers nationwide recognize the value, ease of use, and patient safety capability of mobile solutions.
"Mobile solutions have found their place in the daily workflow of physicians," stated Paul W. Brient, chief executive officer of PatientKeeper, "This growth in popularity is largely due to the impact that handhelds can have on patient safety, physician productivity, and rising costs," Brient continued.
Several leading institutions have already implemented PatientKeeper's clinical applications as a means to accelerate physician adoption of CPOE and to immediately and cost effectively address patient safety. For Dr. Patricia Hale at Glens Falls Hospital in Glens Falls New York, the PatientKeeper mobile enterprise system, "has allowed us to connect wirelessly between several remote facilities, improving our clinical performance with secure information delivery. PatientKeeper has also improved my capability as a doctor by significantly improving my workflow," Dr. Hale concluded.
Signing nine new PatientKeeper enterprise customers in one quarter, "signifies to us that healthcare has recognized the value of handhelds," added Brient. "We developed PatientKeeper solutions to easily and quickly integrate with hospitals across the country."
PatientKeeper's growth in the clinical IT landscape comes on the heels of three hospitals which recently announced selection of PatientKeeper's Charge Capture Application Suite™ as a means to reduce the burgeoning costs associated with care delivery and administration.
