Nationwide Expansion of eICU® Solution Begins Prestigious Health Systems in the East, West and Midwest Lead the Way February 24th, 2003 VISICU, Inc., creator of the eICU®, announced today that two additional health systems have successfully implemented the eICU® as a strategy to reduce medical errors and save lives. An eICU® was implemented on time at Sutter Health, a leading not-for-profit community based provider in Northern California in January 2003, and recently at New York-Presbyterian, the country's largest private sector academic medical center. In addition, an eICU® implementation is nearing completion at Advocate Health Care in Chicago. "Sutter Health is pleased with how the VISICU technical and clinical teams collaborated with us to execute a timely eICU® implementation", reported John Mesic M.D., Vice President and Regional Chief Medical Officer for Sutter. Mesic added, "The team at Sutter is thrilled that their first eICU® is up and is now an integral part of their patient safety initiative." Bernadette Miesner, Director, Cardiovascular Service Line for New York-Presbyterian was highly supportive of the eICU® implementation team as well, "A true partnership was formed between our two organizations that led to the project going live on time and without issue." Miesner added, "We are extremely pleased that we could begin operating the eICU® so quickly enabling us to bring this exciting new technology to our patients." Frank T. Sample, VISICU President and CEO stated, "The media attention that these organizations have already received is remarkable. As eICU® rollouts continue throughout the nation we believe consumers will begin to recognize the life saving benefits; and this should translate into a definite market advantage for hospitals that have one."
