CCSI AND SPACELABS MEDICAL INTRODUCE REAL-TIME CHARTING MODULE FOR OBIXTM PERINATAL DATA SYSTEM

Elgin, Ill./Issaquah, Wash., August 17, 2005 – Clinical Computer Systems, Inc.

The new offering builds on the strength of the advanced features of CCSI’s OBIX Perinatal Data System, a sophisticated data management system that provides a thorough, flexible, easy-to-use charting solution at the bedside, nurses’ station, manager’s office, remote physicians’ offices and clinics. Spacelabs, a major global provider of patient monitoring systems, offers a variety of monitors designed for the NICU.

The Charting Module is the first product designed specifically for the NICU that has charting and documentation in place and ready for immediate use. The module can be viewed on an existing Spacelabs patient monitoring system, enabling nursing staff to use it right at bedside on equipment already in place.

The module provides extensive information clinicians need to care for critically ill babies, including systemic assessments, entries from other NICU devices, ongoing episodic records of apneic and bradycardic occurrences, a continuum of documentation from stabilization through discharge, high- and low-risk procedure listings indicating procedure tolerance and interventions, and environmental checks and alarm limits. In addition, Spacelabs monitors equipped with WinDNA® enable clinicians to view and control Windows applications directly on the patient’s bedside monitor, permitting the display of extensive laboratory and diagnostic test results and documentation on one patient screen.

Dave Tilley, President and CEO of Spacelabs, said, "We are pleased to make CCSI’s innovative new charting module for the OBIX data system available to Spacelabs customers. The module demonstrates the kinds of ‘best of breed’ solutions we can provide by working together. Our goal is to help clinical staff make more efficient, better informed decisions, giving them the gift of more time to care for their smallest, most vulnerable patients."

Kim Sell, President of CCSI, said, "This exciting new product is a great example of the ‘Customer First’ focus shared by CCSI and Spacelabs, a leader in NICU patient monitoring. The introduction of the NICU Charting Module also helps us expand the range of our solutions in neonatal care and strengthen our relationship with Spacelabs. We look forward to more opportunities to work together in the future."
