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

SAN DIEGO, CA & YAKIMA, WA July 9, 2007 – IntelliDOT Corporation, an information management platform provider of safety and efficiency systems in health care, and Yakima Regional Medical Center are pleased to announce the successful facility wide implementation of the IntelliDOT Bedside Medication Administration™ (BMA) System. Yakima Regional Medical Center is an HMA 214 bed acute care hospital located in Yakima, WA.

The turn-key implementation was initiated on January 31, 2007 with a dedicated on-site IntelliDOT team. The first patient care area was live and running successfully on April 10, 2007, 69 days after project kickoff, and the final unit went live on May 29, 2007. The entire house-wide implementation was completed in only 117 days.

The IntelliDOT BMA System eliminates medication errors by matching the correct patient with the correct medication and method of delivery at the bedside. At 8 oz. and 14 hour battery life, the CAREt handheld is easily carried for the entire shift by the clinician. The handheld provides the caregiver with information anywhere in the facility while collecting critical information at the point-of-care. The BMA module interconnects 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 very pleased with the project management and execution provided by IntelliDOT. It has been a welcomed change from the usual issues we have seen in managing complex software and hardware implementations sourced from multiple vendors”, said Jim Jordan, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer for HMA. “IntelliDOT worked with us in all phases of the project to improve our processes, get pharmacy bar coded, nursing trained, and IT infrastructure configured to complete the project in record time.”

“It was a pleasure working with the cross-functional team at Yakima Regional. Their support working with our project team, permitted the fast implementation of the BMA system”, said Shawn Orr, Vice President of Field Operations for IntelliDOT. Reports supplied as part of the implementation process at Yakima show 95% utilization of the IntelliDOT System by clinicians.
