RICHARDSON, Texas and INDIANAPOLIS – October, 2006 – InnerWireless, Inc., leading provider of in-building wireless systems, today announced that its Medical-grade Wireless Utility has been deployed throughout The Heart Center of Indiana (THCI) as a part of the Siemens Medical Solutions initiative to provide the most efficient patient care and guest information access possible.  The Medical-grade Wireless Utility is a broadband antenna system that supports multiple wireless applications and devices, including 802.11 a/b/g standards, cellular phones, two-way radios and radio frequency location systems for asset tracking.  Additionally, the Medical-grade Wireless Utility will support Siemens’ Soarian® software, a health information system currently being considered for implementation at THCI. 

“After researching our choices for a wireless solution, it was clear to us and to Siemens that InnerWireless was the only system that would help us meet our goals of enhanced service through streamlined workflow and information access,” said Alec Williams, CIO of THCI.  “We recognized that having guaranteed wireless coverage throughout the hospital was a key component to our complete solution for providing the best medical care possible, and InnerWireless helps us achieve that objective.”

Previously, THCI staff would log into health information programs through stationary computers to view patient information.  Instead, with the Medical-grade Wireless Utility in place, patient information can be accessed from anywhere throughout the hospital via wireless devices, so clinicians and registration staff can collect and input patient information in real-time at the bedside.  This same principle can be applied to the pharmaceutical staff; information is entered directly into the system, thereby significantly reducing the possibility of medication errors.  THCI clinicians and staff also plan to use the InnerWireless system for cell phone communication, eliminating the need for traditional pagers at THCI. 

“InnerWireless is very pleased that THCI and Siemens chose to rely on our Medical-grade Wireless Utility as its infrastructure for using wireless life-saving medical devices,” said Chris McCoy, senior vice president of corporate development at InnerWireless.  “InnerWireless is proud to partner with THCI and Siemens ­­– they share our vision for improving the quality of healthcare by bringing the best technologies to the clinical environment.”

THCI joins a distinguished group of more than 60 leading hospitals and health systems – including Vassar Brothers Medical Center, Children’s Memorial Hospital of Chicago, The University of Chicago Hospitals and Health System’s Bernard A. Mitchell Hospital and Comer Children’s Hospital, and the National Institutes of Health’s Mark O. Hatfield Clinical Research Center – in using InnerWireless to create a 21^st century wireless ecosystem in their facilities.
