IBM and PatientKeeper Join Forces

IBM and PatientKeeper have announced a significant expansion of wireless capabilities to help hospitals enhance patient care, reduce medical errors, and increase the job satisfaction of physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals.

As part of their collaborative efforts, IBM will market and resell PatientKeeper's mobile platform and broad portfolio of wireless, point-of-care solutions. Those solutions enable a physician to view the patient's electronic medical record, use powerful clinical decision support tools, accurately record charges for medical treatments, and more - all with one handheld device while at the patient's bedside.

The expanded collaboration is key to IBM's new Wireless and Mobility Solutions (WAMS) for healthcare professionals and builds upon a relationship with PatientKeeper initiated in May, 2001. IBM's WAMS portfolio offers healthcare providers a comprehensive wireless solution that includes hardware, design, and implementation, installation and testing, LAN hosting services, and more. IBM can integrate PatientKeeper solutions with existing hospital information systems and support dozens of different network technologies and wireless standards protocols used worldwide.
