ATLANTA, March 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hospira, Inc. , a
leading provider of clinical information and medication delivery
technologies, announced today that the Hospira MedNet(TM) safety
software is currently being featured in the Interoperability
Showcase at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems
Society Annual Conference and Exhibition (HIMSS10) in Atlanta
through March 4. Hospira's successful testing of Hospira MedNet for
multiple integration profiles, including implementations of
medication administration and alarm communications at the
Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) 2010 North American
Connectathon, drove its inclusion in the Showcase, which will
demonstrate real-world examples of today's complex healthcare
environments and the advanced technologies that support them.
During the IHE Connectathon, Hospira MedNet was validated
specifically for use with Hospira's Plum A+(TM) and Symbiq(TM)
infusion pumps. The IHE Connectathon is the healthcare information
technology industry's premier large-scale interoperability testing
event, where leaders of industry gather to verify connectivity of
clinical technologies and promote interoperability, or
connectivity, between systems as a catalyst for improving the
quality, safety and efficiency of patient care. "Hospira focuses on
ensuring compatibility between and integration of important
hospital technologies to help enhance clinical outcomes, caregiver
productivity and patient safety," said Symeria Hudson, vice
president, Medication Management Systems, U.S., Hospira.
"Seamlessly integrating technology across the hospital's IT network
and across multiple vendor platforms provides clinicians with more
flexibility and increased safety." In addition to driving
interoperability between its own medication management systems and
clinical information technology solutions such as VeriScan(TM) Rx
medication administration barcode point-of-care system, Hospira
also develops products that communicate seamlessly with multiple
hospital technology systems. Through its Hospira MedNet safety
software platform, Hospira facilitates cross-vendor
interoperability by successfully partnering with other technology
providers. Hospira is one of the few vendors to provide open
platform technology, enabling Hospira MedNet software to be used
bi-directionally to connect multiple hospital systems. To date,
Hospira has partnered with several technology companies, including
AeroScout, Cerner, InnerWireless and Orion Health, to ensure
successful implementations of interoperable technology. In support
of Hospira's ongoing commitment to interoperability and medication
safety, the company will also offer hospitals a chance to win a
complementary clinical support analysis during HIMSS by visiting
Hospira booth numbers 4621 and 6249. The randomly selected
organization will receive an opportunity to have its current
medication management technology, infection control program or
intravenous insulin delivery practices evaluated, including
recommended actions for achieving the institution's desired
technological and clinical state. About Hospira Hospira, Inc. is a
