3. 2 General Overview Presentation Agenda Healthcare Challenges Emergin Solution Hospital Wide Benefits About Emergin, Inc. Q & A Recap & Action Items

4. 3 Healthcare Challenges

5. 4 Communication is KeySource: Root Causes of Delays in Treatment (1995-2003) 86% 66% Root Causes of Sentinel Events (1995-2003) Root Causes of Sentinel Events (1995-2003)

6. 5 Current Challenges Business need Desire to improve patient satisfaction Patient complaints about high noise levels, particularly in ICU’s Perceived response time delays Quality improvement initiatives Solution and value delivered FTE’s seeking greater efficiency Desire to reduce # of devices (“Toolbelt”) Staff complaints about workload, workflow duplications Too much time away from the bedside Inefficient paths of communication Lack of standard practices National patient safety goals Improve the effectiveness of communications among caregivers Improve the effectiveness of clinical alarm systems Healthcare systems operate using variety of closed, proprietary systems Integration and connectivity difficult Interoperability challenging Care across units not standardized Proliferation of clinical alarms/alerts Improving Patient CareIncreasing Staff Satisfaction Industry ComplianceControlling Costs

8. 7 Emergin Solution Overview

9. 8 Solution Background Who We Are Emergin is recognized as the market leader of automated event notification and alarm management solutions for the healthcare enterprise. What We Do We support process improvements in healthcare through a combination of a unique software platform and experience-based client services.

10. 9 Solution – Emergin Integration Suite A Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) Standards-based, holistic approach to systems design and interoperability Modular and scalable. Begin with a single system and add service components incrementally.

11. 10 Solution Highlights Open, vendor-neutral, and device-independent Highly scalable architecture Extensive set of 3 rd party interfaces using off-the-shelf adapters Centralized view of all connected, disparate systems Validated w/ nearly all best-in-class clinical system vendors

12. 11 Nurse Call Patient Monitoring Nurse Call Adapter Monitoring Adapter Enterprise Service Bus Topology Overview Application Layer Integration Layer Communication Layer

13. 12 Interoperable with more than 200 best-in-class vendors Platform Adapters & Key Partnerships

14. 13 Emergin SOA Module

15. 14 What is SOA? Not a technology per-se SOA is an architectural style that manages services throughout the enterprise A planning and design guide for integrating best-in-class systems A process-centric approach for driving a standards-based infrastructure

16. 15 Why SOA? Unites departments and communications Leverages existing legacy systems Drives standardization and interoperability across the healthcare enterprise Focuses on process flow Enables healthcare organizations to pick and choose any technology

17. 16 ‘Point-to-Point’ vs. an SOA Service Focus on single application only (event sources) and destination Focus on point-to-point connectivity – get data from monitor to a pager, phone, sign Focus primarily on nurse only Managing the assignment process is typically not an issue Clinical process and workflow is not typically a big concern (“Gateway”) Focus on multiple applications (event sources) and destinations Focus on management of end-to-end process of managing alarms Focus on nurses, but also all clinicians and staff (biomeds, RT’s, security officer, etc.) Managing the assignment process is often a primary issue Improvements in clinical process and workflow is a key driver (“ESB”) Point-to-Point ConnectivityService-Oriented Integration

18. 17 Event Driven SOA Project Framework Process-Centric Approach - Focus on Workflow and Clinical Processes Project Preparation Project Design Installation & Integration TrainingGo Live SOA Constitution Project Requirements Process Design System Design Functional Design Testing/Staging UAT Production Roll-Out Clinical Administrative Project Plan Optimization SOA Assessment- Readiness Consulting SOA Service Library

19. 18 Conclusion Evaluate service performance Change process flows based on best practices and learning lessons Filter nuisance alarms/reduce alerting fatigue Identify, mitigate and prevent repeatable communication errors Integrate reporting for real-time scorecards/dashboards Optimize PerformanceDrive Standardization A service-oriented architecture enables hospitals to pick and choose any combination of technologies without compromise An IT framework and architecture will help drive standardization, efficiencies and patient outcomes Communications will be continuously optimized because it is measurable

28. 27 Hospital Wide Benefits

29. 28 Benefits for Clinicians Clinical alarms sent to caregivers’ device (ECG, SPO2, Vent, IV Pump) Auto-escalation “safety net” to ensure alarms are not missed Code team dispatch More time with patients Less walk time Elimination of “nurse tool belt”

30. 29 Benefits for Laboratory Provides automatic alert for critical values or abnormals Automatic notification for STAT blood draws Immediate communication on test results Redirect mobile staff while on the move Supports Joint Commission for CTRM - closing the loop within 1 hour

31. 30 Benefits for Information Technology Greater appreciation from hospital for IT staff Maximize/leverage existing technologies Build interoperability by design Cost Savings – leave, leverage and extend the life of existing point-of-care systems

32. 31 Benefits for Administration Cost Avoidance – eliminate duplicate technology purchases Process Improvements – eliminate duplicate job functions and data entry errors Patient Outcomes – Improve hospital care by continuously improving communications RCA Time – Significantly reduce investigation times

33. 32 Return on Investment Leverage Existing Technologies – Do not “rip- and-replace” them Technology Cost Avoidance – Assignments, management reports, communication systems Nurse Productivity Gains 51% improvement in completing patient tasks, $37,700 per care unit per year (*U of Maryland Study) Patient Safety – Root cause analysis transcripts for adverse events including sentinel events Patient Satisfaction – Raise scores by improving response time Staff Satisfaction/Retention Improve the clinical processes to reduce workload Quantitative ROIQualitative ROI

34. 33 Conclusion Business need Managing the patient experience in real- time Improved response times Noise reduction Communication of critical clinical communication Solution and value delivered Objective data generation of decision- making More satisfied patients equals more satisfied staff Noise reduction National patient safety goals Improve the effectiveness of communications among caregivers Improve the effectiveness of clinical alarm systems Service-oriented architecture enables hospitals to pick and choose any combination of technologies without compromise An IT Framework and architecture will help drive standardization, efficiencies and safety Improved Patient CareIncreased Staff Satisfaction Compliance with IndustryControlled Costs
