WellStar Health System to Implement Capsule's DataCaptorTM Software

ANDOVER, Mass., June 19, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Capsule Tech, Inc., the leading provider of medical device connectivity solutions, today announced that WellStar Health System, Marietta, GA will deploy its DataCaptor™ software across the WellStar five-hospital system. With an initial focus on surgical settings, Capsule's DataCaptor will capture physiological data directly from anesthesia machines and deliver the data to Epic via Capsule terminal servers. The Capsule implementation represents the first phase of a rollout to multiple care areas. WellStar's primary objectives are data timeliness, accuracy and staff time savings.

Capsule's device integration solutions enable connectivity between virtually any medical device and virtually any EMR system allowing hospitals to choose their type and scope of project. Capsule's proprietary DataCaptor™ connectivity software manages the communication between medical devices and their destination clinical information system(s). Deployed through software on a PC, terminal server, and/or bedside hardware such as the Capsule Neuron™, patient data can be collected continuously in acute-care settings, or periodically in lower acuity, multi-patient environments. Implementations range from single department to multi-facilities, and in some cases, even system-wide deployment at hundreds of hospitals in a single network.
