Pacific Medical Centers Chooses Versus for Clinic Workflow Automation

TRAVERSE CITY, MI, Apr 06 (MARKET WIRE) --
Canyon Park Clinic, Pacific Medical Center's new multi-specialty clinic
in Bothell, WA, will host Clinic Workflow Automation from Versus
Technology, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: VSTI) when it opens in April 2010. Pacific
Medical Center (PacMed) recognizes that state-of-the-art technology
attracts patients seeking high-quality care and allows caregivers to
provide that higher level of care.

Brett Daniel, MD, Medical Director at PacMed helped identify the Versus
solution for process improvement. Daniel explains, "We are building
clinical infrastructure and workflow processes that we believe will help
us deliver an exceptional level of care to our patients, and at the same
time will allow our providers to focus on delivering that care without
spending unnecessary time on paperwork, searching for help, or other
inefficiencies. We see Versus as a key partner in delivering on these
goals."

The Clinic Workflow Automation solution is based on Versus' real-time
locating system (RTLS), Versus Advantages(TM). By keying off of location
data collected through the RTLS, Versus Advantages identifies current
locations of patients and resources, patient status, and room status. As
each data point is time stamped, Versus can deliver reports regarding
overall Length of Stay (LOS) or how long it takes to complete each
individual stage of care, such as Nurse Assessment. Advantages also
displays other key indicators such as whether lab or imaging services are
required or whether the patient is new or existing.

More important from a clinic workflow automation perspective, however, is
Versus' ability to deliver patient status information within the context
of the patient visit. With this information, staff will know who has seen
the patient, who is currently with the patient and who needs to see the
patient next. This information will be automatically communicated to
staff on virtual communication boards located throughout the facility as
well as on individual workstations or mobile devices to provide an
efficient Glance-and-Go(TM) workflow.

PacMed first encountered the Versus Clinical Workflow Automation solution
at Virginia Mason Kirkland Clinic where staff rely on the Versus solution
to determine which patient should be seen next. "We know from empirical
evidence from national organizations like the Medical Group Management
Association (MGMA) that patients have a limited tolerance when waiting to
see their clinician," says Linda Eremic, Director of Operations. "Part of
our philosophy of quality care at Pacific Medical Center, is being
available when and where our patients need us. Through automated
workflows, including wait time alerts and communication of patient
status, Versus will help us to achieve our patient satisfaction goals."

When the new 30,000 sq. ft. Canyon Park Clinic opens, PacMed expects to
see 450 patients each day. With 60 full-time caregivers and support
personnel and just as many rooms to manage, the clinic will rely on
Versus to help accomplish some very specific goals. Chief among them are
to increase patient satisfaction, enhance communication, utilize rooms
and equipment more efficiently and decrease the Length of Stay.

On the efficiency side, Versus will integrate to several key systems to
help eliminate the need for redundant data entry. One integration will be
to receive registration and scheduling data from GE Centricity Business
Solutions. When displayed on the Versus communication boards, Canyon Park
caregivers will see in real-time which patients are waiting and their
scheduled appointment times. Future integration will be with Epic
Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system to further enhance the patient
experience.

"We're very excited to be working with PacMed," says Paul Timmerman, VP,
Versus. "It provides another opportunity to automate clinical workflow.
Versus Advantages will improve communication and reduce manual tasks
among caregivers to create a better patient care environment and enhance
the experience of the patient." The implementation at Canyon Park Clinic
will be in partnership with AAtronics, Inc., a local Systems Integration
Dealer who will work closely with Versus and PacMed during the design and
implementation phases of the project.
