Western Maryland Health System Selects VISion, Versus Technology's Real-Time
Location System Following Competitive Bid Process

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich., March 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- When Western Maryland
Health System opens its new regional medical center on Willowbrook Road in
Cumberland in the fall, it will do so with Enterprise VISion(TM), a real-time
location system (RTLS) from Versus Technology, Inc. in place. The Versus
infrared (IR) and radio-frequency RTLS is in keeping with the hospital's
desire for state-of-the-art technology and connectivity to other hospital
systems, both now and in the future.

The deployment is a multi-phased project that will eventually consist of
patient, staff and asset tracking. The initial phase includes patient tracking
in large outpatient areas to make it easier for lab and radiology
technologists to locate patients. This system will not only reduce wait times
for patients, but also the technologists' workloads, allowing them to
concentrate on tests, results, and timely communication of those results.
Mobile asset tracking in acute areas will also enhance staff efficiency and
overall patient care. When expanded, Enterprise VISion(TM) will be integrated
to other hospital systems, including the GE Telligence nurse call life safety
system, supplied by Life Safety Systems, Inc.

"We chose Versus because of its great versatility," explains Jo M. Wilson,
Vice President of Ancillary Support Operations for the Western Maryland Health
System. "When our new hospital opens, we will have one, easy-to-use software
system to help us keep track of patients who are having multiple tests in our
greatly expanded outpatient diagnostic center. It will also track our
rolling-stock in our new seven-story facility. Enterprise VISion(TM) offers
the accuracy needed for integration with other applications, including our
life safety systems. We also appreciate that it gives us the ability to start
with these initial applications and expand as needed in the future."

"Versus has seen many RTLS vendors come and go throughout the past decade,"
says Paul Timmerman, VP of Business Development at Versus Technology, "and
certainly it's hard to decipher between the fluff and real-world results. But
here's the one thing anyone looking at clinical RTLS needs to know: Accuracy
Matters. Western Maryland, in looking at several vendors, their promises,
accomplishments, and future outlooks came to understand this fact. Versus is
proud to be part of their state-of-the-art technology infrastructure."

Timmerman goes on to explain, "Anyone can give you the general location of an
item -- but why do you need a system to do that? Your staff can probably guess
and come closer. If you want to improve efficiency, automate processes -- and,
certainly, if you want to do any sort of patient tracking -- you must have an
accurate locating system that you and your staff can rely on." Exclusively
endorsed by the AHA for its IR-RFID bed-level locating system, Versus is the
only single-source vendor dedicated to clinical RTLS for patient and asset
tracking.
