FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Research has found that health information technology (HIT) could save money and improve the quality of healthcare when widely implemented throughout the U.S. Pulse understands the benefits of HIT and continues to help physicians transition from paper to digital records with the Pulse Patient Relationship Management V3.1.1.

Wichita, KS (Jan. 11, 2008) – Focused on improving the delivery of healthcare with effective and efficient healthcare IT and management systems solutions, Pulse travels to Orlando, Fla., for the upcoming 2008 Annual HIMSS Conference & Exhibition, Feb. 24-28, 2008, at the Orange County Convention Center. Recognized as one of the most prestigious conferences in the healthcare industry, HIMSS08 brings together administrators and professionals across the globe for this annual gathering.

Pulse will be demonstrating the Pulse Patient Relationship Management V. 3.1.1 at booth #4043 on the HIMSS exhibit floor. This software solution addresses healthcare IT customers’ needs for a strong ambulatory solution and interoperability.

With the transition from paper to digital records continuing to gain national attention and increased acceptance in healthcare, Pulse will share its newest software solution at the conference.

Basil Hourani explains the benefits of exhibiting at HIMSS
“At the annual HIMSS conference, we have an opportunity to meet with people who are looking for the right technology solution for their specific situation. Pulse can talk with each individual one-on-one about their own needs and advise them on the products available. The HIMSS exhibition makes it easy for us to meet with customers interested in our products and who are looking for the right option for their electronic health record system.”

In Orlando, the HIMSS annual conference is expected to attract about 25,000 attendees, ranking it as one of the largest healthcare IT and management systems conference in the world. Attendees who go to the conference participate in education sessions and networking events, in addition to visiting the exhibits. The 2008 conference includes more than 300 education sessions plus pre-conference education sessions with a symposium on clinical engineering and IT leadership, nursing informatics, payors, pharmacy IT, physicians’ IT, regional health information organizations (RHIOs), and supply chain management.

Once again, the Interoperability Showcase will be a highlight of the 2008 conference with exceptional demonstrations that utilize cutting-edge technology and standards to demonstrate interoperability in an interactive environment. With the electronic health record becoming mainstream on the exhibit floor, attendees will be able to create, track and manage virtual electronic health records and personal health records as they experience interoperability advances across both acute and outpatient care environments.

• Bill Frist, MD, Former US Senator and Senate Majority Leader
