PatientKeeper's Client Base Grows As Healthcare Providers Opt For Integrated Mobile Solutions

BOSTON, Mass., June 1 /PRNewswire/ -- PatientKeeper(R), a leading provider of mobile computing solutions for healthcare, said today that orders for PatientKeeper solutions continued to be strong in the first part of 2004 and that the company is experiencing a shift from single "point applications" to a more powerful multi-application solution. The company has recently added customers across the healthcare continuum ranging from health systems to large academic medical centers to community hospitals to group practices. Adventist Health System, Berkshire Health Systems, Clinical Practice Management Plan (CPMP) Stony Brook, Digestive Health Systems, Halifax Fish Community Health Systems, Sinai Medical Group Chicago, and The University of Kansas Hospital are among many new contracts.

At The University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City, PatientKeeper Clinical Results, Charge Capture, and Mobile Dictation were key to their physicians. "Having an open platform with a broad range of mature applications was an important factor in our decision," said Chris Hansen, senior vice president, The University of Kansas Hospital.

"We're seeing a clear trend toward integrated mobile solutions," said Paul W. Brient, chief executive officer of PatientKeeper. "With PatientKeeper's broad and growing portfolio of applications, we are supporting more and more of the physician workflow -- across care settings, across different hospitals, anytime, anywhere. With PatientKeeper, these applications can be tightly integrated with our client's existing systems or loosely coupled through HL7-based data replication. This has allowed PatientKeeper to become an integral part of the I.T. strategies of many different types of organizations. Our clients are now reaping the benefits of the open platform strategy we established more than two years ago."

PatientKeeper provides doctors and other medical professionals with a sophisticated patient management platform and a broad portfolio of mobile applications that integrate with existing healthcare information systems. The handheld solutions allow doctors to easily manage patient information, view test results, enter diagnoses and billing information, dictate notes, and place medication orders.
