IntelliDOT® Corporation and Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center Announce the Successful Facility Wide Implementation of Bar Code Medication Administration

SAN DIEGO, CA, June 14, 2007 – IntelliDOT Corporation, an information management platform provider of safety and efficiency systems in health care, and Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center are pleased to announce the successful facility wide implementation of the IntelliDOT Bedside Medication Administration™ (BMA) System. Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center is an HMA 257 bed acute care facility located in Poplar Bluff, MO.

The turn-key implementation was initiated on December 5, 2006 by a dedicated on-site IntelliDOT team. The first patient care area was live and running successfully on March 27, 2007, 112 days after project kickoff, and the final unit went live on May 29, 2007. The entire house-wide implementation was completed in only 174 days.

The IntelliDOT BMA System eliminates medication errors at the bedside by matching the correct patient with the correct medication dosage. At 8 oz. and 14 hr. battery life, the CAREt Handheld device, is easily carried by the clinician for the entire shift. The handheld provides the caregiver with information anywhere in the facility while collecting critical information at the point-of-care. The BMA module interfaces with the Hospital Information System (HIS) and other IntelliDOT information management modules using the same handheld device. The CAREt System can also guide phlebotomists and nurses through the specimen collection process, match mothers and babies with the correct containers of breast milk, and accurately collect and record key vital signs information.

“We are ecstatic to see an HMA hospital fully implemented with IntelliDOT's CAREt System. The system has exceeded our expectations in usability and acceptance from our clinical staff”, said Larry Smith, Vice President of Pharmacy Services for HMA. “IntelliDOT has been a great partner throughout the implementation process, start to finish.”

“Our system was custom-designed to support the clinicians in their daily efforts to provide the best possible care for their patients. These clinicians now have the tool, in the palm of their hand that ensures patients are safe from medication errors.” said Bob Williamsen, Vice President of Sales, for IntelliDOT Corporation.
