WHO:  David Gulian, CEO and Co-founder of InfoLogix, Inc., a provider of
          mobile technology solutions to 1,400 hospitals

    WHAT: There are more than 12,000 deaths each year related to errors in
          hospitals. Many could have been prevented by the effective
          deployment of barcoding and new RFID (radio frequency
          identification) solutions.

          Gulian can talk with you about hospitals that have implemented
          medication management systems to minimize delivery errors like the
          one at Cedars-Sinai in California.  All told, InfoLogix
          (www.infologixsys.com) works with more than 1,400 hospitals in the
          U.S. (20% of all hospitals) implementing technology to help
          administrators improve the care and safety of their patients.

    WHY:  Gulian is available to discuss this trend in light of the recent
          overdose incident at Cedars-Sinai involving Dennis Quaid's twin
          infants.  Three newborns received 1,000 times the usual dose of the
          anti-coagulant medication Heparin- which, if not caught in time,
          could have proven deadly. New Barcoding and RFID applications,
          combined with process improvements in how personnel deliver
          medication can help hospitals avoid these potentially fatal
          incidents from occurring in the first place.

    WHEN: Available anytime (ET or PT) for a phone or broadcast interview on
          this topic.
