Motion F5s are improving inspection and incident documentation through real time electronic documentation and records access in the field

AUSTIN, Texas– April 27, 2010 – Motion Computing®, a leading provider of integrated mobile computing solutions, announced today that the Lake Oswego, Oregon Fire Department has selected the Motion® F5 Rugged Tablet PC to improve fire code inspection processes and aid in incident documentation.

When firefighters at Lake Oswego Fire Department endeavored to conduct fire inspections they chose the F5 Tablet PCs to achieve an entirely paperless and electronic process. The team felt that by providing the ability to access and input data electronically, fire inspections would be more accurate and the inspectors more efficient and productive. Lake Oswego Fire Department started with the purchase of FIREHOUSE Software® Mobile Inspection Software, and realized after the deployment that they would need a hardware solution that was rugged enough for harsh conditions and powerful enough to run the solution, as well as additional applications.

“We really needed hardware and software built around our processes and designed to work in our environment,” said Gert Zoutendijk, Deputy Fire Marshal, Lake Oswego Fire Department. “The software solution running on the F5s is easy to use, and the rugged design makes me feel confident that they will be able to withstand the often harsh conditions encountered by our firefighters.”

The fire department’s manual, paper-based method was time consuming and manually intensive, requiring double documentation which often resulted in inaccurate or missing information. After choosing the inspection software, Zoutendijk worked with John Hill of Allegiance Tablet PC Experts, a Motion reseller and expert in tablet PC deployments, who introduced the Motion F5 Rugged Tablet PC.

“Prior to learning about the F5s, we had been using other rugged computers, but they were too heavy, too expensive and too cumbersome to carry around the inspection site,” added Zoutendijk. “The F5 is ergonomic and thin with a convenient integrated handle, and since it’s all enclosed and rugged it protects the system against dust, moisture and other elements.”

Another feature which drew Zoutendijk towards adoption was the F5’s integrated technologies, including the digital camera which is great for documenting inspections. “Sometimes we encounter unusual situations or conditions and the ability to document and attach pictures directly into our records is an excellent benefit,” said Zoutendijk. “The F5 is also configurable with a wide array of accessories such as carrying cases, shoulder straps and mounts that really support the firefighters’ mobility.”

With the adoption of the Motion F5s, the Lake Oswego Fire Department looks forward to rolling out full implementation in the near future. Additionally, Zoutendijk also plans on utilizing the F5 for EMS charting. “When people’s lives are at stake, we need reliable technology solutions that help us improve care, and the F5s are ideal for this application,” added Zoutendijk.

About Lake Oswego Fire Department
The Lake Oswego Fire Department provides emergency response to more than 50,000 citizens within the City of Lake Oswego and three adjoining contract districts. Emergency services include fire suppression, emergency medical response, water & dive rescue, technical rescue operations, hazardous materials incidents, and disaster response.

Presentation at the World of Health IT Conference & Exhibition will focus on joint electronic documentation solution from DS Group and Motion Computing

AUSTIN, Texas and BARCELONA – 16 March 2010– Motion Computing®, a leading provider of integrated mobile computing solutions, and DS Group, the developer of Tabula Clinica mobile healthcare software, announced today from the 2010 World of Health IT (WoHIT) Conference & Exhibition (Stand #436) that senior representatives from Hospital Vimercate will be presenting during the event. Presenters, offering IT and clinical perspectives, will discuss how Motion C5 mobile clinical assistants (MCA) and Tabula Clinica software helped the hospital go completely paperless, improving clinical workflows and enhancing patient care.

Frustrated by the limitations of paper patient records, which made the sharing of patient information difficult and time consuming, the team at Hospital Vimercate knew they needed a robust and complex solution, but also wanted the right set of technologies that could be easily adopted by clinicians.

“Fully utilizing electronic records meant transforming the way clinicians worked and we needed a solution that could manage complex activities, yet be easily adopted throughout the hospital,” said Giovanni Delgrossi, CIO at Hospital Vimercate. “We are excited to share our experiences with hospitals facing the same challenges and hope to help them realize similar success.”

Presentation Details • Presenters: Mr. Giovanni Delgrossi, Chief Information Officer and Dr. Claudio Cimminiello, Internal Medicine Department Director , Hospital Vimercate • Date: Wednesday 17th March 2010 • Time: 2:30 PM – 4:00 PM • Location: Intel® Mobile Point of Care Workshop, Intel VIP Lounge, (Level 1, Room 129), CCIB Convention Centre, Barcelona

To help with its mobility initiative, Hospital Vimercate chose Tabula Clinica software from DS Group, a Motion partner and expert in mobility solution deployments. Tabula Clinica, designed specifically to run on highly mobile computing devices, enables nurses, physicians and other clinicians to easily manage records at the patient bedside, or anywhere throughout the hospital.

Hospital Vimercate also relied on DS Group to help identify the right mobile device to support the deployment of the new software solution. Impressed with the Motion C5’s rugged frame, integrated features, and hospital-grade design that could be easily disinfected, the DS Group knew that the tablet PC was the right device for the job.

Now used by physicians, anesthesiologists and nurses in the surgical department, clinicians have quickly adapted to the new technology. The solution features drop down menus and pre-programmed text categories that make utilizing the pen input on the tablet PC convenient while moving throughout the hospital. Additionally, docking stations located throughout the facility replace fixed workstations and provide an environment where clinicians can perform more detailed documentation.

“It was very important to us that we find a solution that would make the transition from paper to technology easy for our caregivers,” added Delgrossi. “Now, with the solution in place and the transformation complete, we are enhancing patient care and improving clinician collaboration by making patient record information available much more quickly and accessible whenever it is needed.”

About Vimercate Hospital Trust The Vimercate Hospital Trust is one of the main public healthcare structure of the Regione Lombardia (northern Italy region, Milan main town). The Trust is consisting on five different hospital structures located in the northern part of Italy, close to Milan. The main mission is to offer high level healthcare services, to develop medical research programs and to plan clinical training activities according to the Regione Lombardia strategic healthcare development plan. The great attention to the introduction of innovative technology into the clinical process is one of the most important features of the Hospital. In particular, the development of high level information systems together with Information Technology solutions usage allows the increase of healthcare services quality.

By the end of 2010 is expected the opening of a completely new Hospital building in Vimercate with the main goal to be a completely digital and paperless hospital in Italy. For more information visit http://www.aodesiovimercate.it/web/.

St. John’s, a Motion C5 mobile clinical assistant (MCA) user since 2008, has deployed a flexible mobility solution that supports the way clinicians work. St. John’s maintains a high level of commitment to patient safety and clinician satisfaction, and has delivered a truly innovative solution that significantly improves workflows, clinician satisfaction and enhances its overall quality of patient care.

“Whether its maintaining the proper wireless environment, ensuring devices can support multiple workflows or giving clinicians solutions that can be consistently relied on, it takes a commitment to deliver a high quality mobile point of care solution that positively impacts clinicians, workflows and patients,” said David Altounian, Motion Computing CEO. “St. John’s is an ideal example of how the right planning and focus results in a truly successful MPOC deployment that delivers immediate impact to the organization.”

A Truly Flexible Mobile Point of Care Solution for Optimized Workflows After deploying an electronic medical record (EMR) application from MEDITECH, the St. John’s team chose the Motion C5 MCA to extend the solution to the patient bedside. Now, with more than 600 C5s in use, the hospital has seen an increase in bedside patient scans from just 20 percent to 97 percent – resulting in improved accuracy of data collected and an increase in data efficiency. With the C5s, clinicians can access data at the bedside, the nurses’ station, or from various other points of service with fewer disruptions in care.

While the St. John’s team was enthusiastic with the C5s, they knew they needed additional solutions that could support its diverse range of clinicians throughout the hospital. The team chose the Motion Clinical Workstation (MCW-200) to offer a highly flexible computing solution that adapts to individual clinical workflows. Now with the C5s and MCW-200s, St. Johns has equipped clinicians with the ability to use technology right at the bedside or use a full mobile workstation throughout the hospital for more documentation-intensive workflows.

“St. John’s has worked closely with Motion throughout our mobility deployment and relied on the team’s expertise in helping to design and deliver the right solution for our clinicians and our patients,” said Mark Krieger, manager of IT operations for St. John’s. “Combining the C5 with the MCW-200 offers us a highly flexible computing solution that optimizes EMR utilization and enhances care across the hospital.”

About the Motion C5 MCA and MCW-200 Now in more than 4,000 healthcare organizations worldwide, the C5 has proven to enhance clinician satisfaction, improve point of care documentation, increase clinician productivity and improve clinical documentation accuracy. The MCW-200 is a fully-integrated mobile computing workstation that provides clinicians with a reliable and dependable computing solution based on the Motion Active Power System™, which offers up to 15 hours of battery life.
