Versus Technology Provides Real-Time Patient Flow and Volume Management to
Eastern Maine Medical Center's New Imaging Center

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich., Oct. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Eastern Maine Medical
Center's (EMMC) newly renovated 32,000 square foot Imaging Center is the
high-tech host to an array of outpatient services, including CT scans, MRIs,
Digital Mammography, Diagnostic Cardiology, Radiography and Ultrasound.
Centralizing these medical services allowed EMMC to not only expand their
offerings, but also alleviate parking congestion, long patient wait times and
rescheduling.

With an already high patient volume (there was a 26.3% increase between 2006
and 2007) and walk-in patients already representing over 50% of all services,
it is important that EMMC address patient flow in a timely and efficient
manner. To help do so, they chose to implement Versus Technology, Inc.'s
Real-time Locating System (RTLS). This decision is a continuation of EMMC's
commitment to use technology to advance patient safety and high quality care
-- a commitment that earned EMMC the Nicholas E. Davies Organizational Award
of Excellence in 2008.

The Versus solution will allow EMMC to capture time parameters related to the
patient visit, including wait time and time to complete a particular imaging
service. These parameters are obtained automatically and allow Imaging Center
staff to:

-- Make real-time comparisons to benchmarked goals (modality trending),
-- Perform more accurate scheduling based on actual time to complete
certain procedures,
-- Better inform patients as to expected wait and procedure times, and

-- Easily analyze patient throughput.

As EMMC Imaging Center performs both scheduled and walk-in services, they will
gain additional efficiency from Versus' real-time bed management capabilities.
Versus automatically identifies room status as available, in-use, reserved,
in-process (being cleaned) or unavailable based on patient locations and
integration with the Imaging Center's registration system to identify the
service type.

"Eastern Maine Medical Center had already selected Versus to automate patient
flow at their CancerCare of Maine clinic," says Paul Timmerman, VP of Sales
and Marketing, "so when they contacted us in June about the Imaging Center,
they already had a basic understanding of our capabilities. Since the CCoM
won't open until the end of the year, it was a vote of confidence in Versus
and Versus' experience managing multiple projects, including those with a more
aggressive timeframe."

The new EMMC Imaging Center opened on September 1st and is already averaging
200 patients per day. Staff are already commenting on the improvements the
Versus automation brings to their larger clinic. Canfield Systems, Inc. of
Scarborough, ME installed the Versus Sensory Network and was instrumental in
the planning process. "It is always a pleasure to work with the staff at
Eastern Maine Medical Center," says Scott Whitaker, VP of Canfield Systems,
Inc. "The General and Electrical Contractors were also an instrumental
component in the successful completion of this project. We look forward to
watching the Imaging Center benefit from this technology."
