Over 451 Clinicians Using Wireless Handhelds for Vital Patient Information with Versatility

Fremont, CA. - January 7, 2003 - Clarinet Systems(R), Inc. a global provider of wireless infrared connectivity for handheld devices, and PatientKeeper Inc., accelerating the transformation of healthcare through mobile computing solutions, have joined forces to bring point-to-point dedicated infrared connectivity to clinicians at the North Shore Long Island Jewish Health System (North Shore-LIJ).

North Shore-LIJ initially implemented an enterprise wide mobile computing system developed by PatientKeeper to provide clinicians the ability to precisely capture charges at the point of care with PatientKeeper's ChargeKeeper application. In addition to improved productivity and rapid adoption by physicians, the return on investment for North Shore-LIJ was substantial enough to recoup infrastructure costs and expand their mobile strategy.

The next objective for North Shore-LIJ and PatientKeeper was to provide clinicians with a wireless handheld connectivity solution that would eliminate the need for syncing stations. Clarinet Systems EthIR LAN(TM) infrared sync stations were selected because they would allow clinicians to use their PDAs independent of the devices hardware, OS, and cradle configurations and, without having to upgrade the existing network infrastructure. Initially, 451 clinicians have "gone infrared" with their handhelds at North Shore-LIJ.

"PatientKeeper's support for infrared connectivity options, such as that provided by Clarinet Systems, further enhances mobile versatility for our customers." commented Stephen Hau, vice president marketing and business development of PatientKeeper. "PatientKeeper's open platform offers customers numerous connectivity options for handheld devices, along with enterprise security, centralized management, and a growing portfolio of applications to choose from," Hau concluded.

"Clarinet Systems is proud to be part of PatientKeeper's mobile computing solution for North Shore-LIJ. The ability to provide clinicians with wireless infrared connectivity will certainly enhance their patient safety and cost reduction efforts," said Wen Chang, President of Clarinet Systems, Inc., "and we feel it will stimulate a movement throughout the system to broadly adopt infrared connectivity."
