Rosebud Solutions, Leader in Medical Equipment Management Software, Launches MEMS Client/Server.ANN ARBOR Ann Arbor, city (1990 pop. 109,592), seat of Washtenaw co., S Mich., on the Huron River; inc. 1851. It is a research and educational center, with a large number of government and industrial research and development firms, many in high-technology fields such as , Mich.--(BW HealthWire)--Aug. 30, 1999-- Integrated Health Care integrated health care, n healthcare services combining the best of conventional and complementary health care. Delivery Networks Benefit From Capital and Operational Cost Reductions with MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems) Tiny mechanical devices that are built onto semiconductor chips and are measured in micrometers. In the research labs since the 1980s, MEMS devices began to materialize as commercial products in the mid-1990s. Client/Server Rosebud Solutions, the industry leader in medical equipment management software, announces the introduction of MEMS Client/Server to the MEMS product line. Designed specifically for integrated delivery networks (IDNs) in the health care industry, MEMS Client/Server is replete with the same functionality as MEMS Single Site plus it operates in a client/server environment A networking environment that is made up of clients and servers running applications designed for client/server architecture. See client/server. . IDNs and hospitals with multiple facilities are now able to manage medical equipment system wide. With today's release, Rosebud Solutions solidifies its leadership position in the medical equipment management software market with its ready-to-go MEMS Client/Server product. Users benefit from capital and operational cost reductions through enterprise standardization, expeditious ex·pe·di·tious adj. Acting or done with speed and efficiency. See Synonyms at fast1. ex cross-facility equipment sharing and tracking, and also gain the ability to analyze equipment information from any location, for any facility at any time. The MEMS Client/Server uses just one database for all of an IDNs facilities and it runs on the IDNs existing relational database relational database Database in which all data are represented in tabular form. The description of a particular entity is provided by the set of its attribute values, stored as one row or record of the table, called a tuple. and network. "We evaluated a variety of software products and chose the 'best of breed' approach. We picked MEMS because it offers an enterprise solution rich in features and superior reporting capability," remarked Ted Lonitz, materials manager at Carillion Health Systems. MEMS Client/Server is available in September 1999. Rosebud Solutions' MEMS Client/Server Improves Capital and Operational Cost Efficiencies Many health care organizations are aware that their usage and inventory of medical equipment, such as infusion pumps, aspirators, infusers, SCD's and suction suction /suc·tion/ (suk´shun) aspiration of gas or fluid by mechanical means. post-tussive suction a sucking sound heard over a lung cavity just after a cough. pumps, is poorly managed. By using MEMS Client/Server, equipment usage is enhanced and operational costs reduced. Health care organizations can easily develop a usage and budget forecast for equipment expenditures. In addition, enterprise-wide procedural standardization increases operational cost-effectiveness. "MEMS Client/Server lets you see an enterprise-wide view of the movement, location and usage of medical equipment. Users from any location can access the central database to check equipment location and use, and then generate related management reports," stated Alicia Torres, president of Rosebud Solutions. "MEMS Client/Server is the only product on the market that supports a comprehensive organizational view of equipment." "Ready-to-Go" Installation Helps Users Focus on Core Business MEMS Client/Server is easy to install and use because it comes "ready-to-go" from the user's perspective.
