LOS GATOS, Calif., Feb. 13, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Semotus Solutions, Inc. (AMEX:DLK), an innovative leader of software solutions for enterprise mobility, today announced the company's wireless alerting solution, HipLinkES, will be used by Kelsey-Seybold Clinic as its comprehensive wireless messaging solution for all of its locations. HipLinkES will be integrated into Kelsey-Seybold Clinic's call center operations.
Kelsey-Seybold Clinic is Houston's premiere multi-specialty physician group, offering a comprehensive array of medical and diagnostic services to the thousands of patients who select its unique, patient-centered model of care. Founded in 1949 by Dr. Mavis Kelsey in the emerging Texas Medical Center, Kelsey-Seybold has grown to serve more than 400,000 patients in the fourth largest metropolitan area in the United States. Kelsey-Seybold Clinic employs more than 300 physicians. Kelsey-Seybold delivers care in 18 locations throughout the greater Houston metropolitan area. It is the exclusive provider of medical services onsite at NASA's Johnson Space Center, a role it has held continuously since 1966.
Martin Littmann, director of Information Technology at Kelsey-Seybold Clinic, noted, "In 2007, Kelsey-Seybold initiated a project to replace its existing paging system with a more robust solution. Our goal was to implement a system with a broader range of device support and depth of capabilities. Having completed the clinic-wide rollout of Epic for our practice management functions, the Clinic is actively involved in rolling out the EMR functionality of the Epic system. The 'any time' to 'any where' messaging capability is essential to providing quality care to our patients and high service response by our It support teams. We see the Semotus HipLink solution as key to providing the basic messaging services critical to a healthcare operation. But we also see an opportunity to improve our response to events through the use of escalation and application integration that does not exist today in the Kelsey-Seybold environment."
Semotus President Pamela LaPine stated, "Semotus is very proud of adding an organization like Kelsey-Seybold Clinic with their reputation of excellence to our growing list of customers. It's great to work with an organization that is proactive in using technology to meet today's demanding standards in healthcare with a dynamic vision for the future. We're very excited about the core role HipLinkES will play in Kelsey-Seybold's communication strategy."
HipLink is a powerful, state-of-the-art messaging solution that enables delivery of critical messages and can fully integrate with any enterprise application. Built on best-of-breed technology and incorporating advanced features, HipLink ensures message delivery across multiple devices and through a variety of communication protocols.
