In Booth #951, NEC will present a broad offering of products and services addressing healthcare technology needs in key areas including:

ensures reliable communications and patient information availability
where it's needed most-- at the bedside. The UNIVERGE(R) WL
infrastructure and handsets, such as the Dterm(R) PSIII phone and
hands-free communication badges, represent the latest in wireless
technologies that assist medical centers in improving patient safety
and combating staffing shortages.
* Multi-Media Collaboration: Cutting-edge applications, including the
award-winning OpenWorX(R) Communications Portal, add the functionality
of location status alerts and directory dialers while providing a
common application capable of conducting video conferencing and
document collaboration. Combined with the latest in LCD MultiSync
Media Displays and Digital Messaging technologies, NEC's multi-media
tools provide healthcare organizations with the means to better serve
patients and their families from any location.
* Patient Privacy and Network Protection: In order to comply with HIPAA
and other regulatory requirements, NEC has developed a variety of
security and network observation services that assist healthcare
organizations in their compliance initiatives. Innovative solutions
designed to address patient information security and ongoing network
supervision remain the cornerstones of effective IT management.
* Faculty Safety & Security: NEC's C911 solution helps healthcare
institutions determine the severity of internal 911 calls. In addition
to being received at the public safety answering point (PSAP), internal
911 calls are also connected to the institution's security desk to
ensure that patients' needs are attended to by the appropriate
personnel.
* Workflow Management: To improve patient care and safety, NEC has
developed an array of solutions designed to streamline information-
gathering processes. TouchPass(R) - Secure Single Sign-On combines
with TouchPass - Context Management to improve efficiencies and patient
safety in the process of gaining access to patient information. NEC
will also profile PersonalPass(TM), an automated patient identification
and admissions solution designed to dramatically reduce patient wait
time during check-in and streamline the billing and patient admission
processes.
Additionally, NEC will launch its latest healthcare IT solutions at the show. The 90 Series of LCD displays is the most fully featured and advanced series of professional displays to date, offering more than 25 new and improved features including a 12-bit look-up table, multi-system synchronization, greater image uniformity, and an industry first 4-year warranty.
