EXTENSION, INC. and AeroScout announced that the two companies have collaborated to develop integrated solutions that combine EXTENSION's VoIP alerting with AeroScout's Healthcare RTLS (Real-Time Location System).

AeroScout's core healthcare offerings provide real-time location, status and condition information about assets, patients and staff. EXTENSION, INC. provides an appliance-based software application that aggregates HL7 and web-services data from all HIS and EMR systems, delivers relevant information to mobile devices such as Cisco IP Phones and cell phones and allows recipients to send automated responses via their device. Together, the two companies can provide a more enriched, clinically-relevant tracking and alerting solution integrated with the Cisco Unified Communications platform so that healthcare organizations can improve clinical
and operational workflows.

Both AeroScout and EXTENSION provide solutions that leverage healthcare organizations' existing Wi-Fi infrastructure. EXTENSION offers a comprehensive solution suite, including EXTENSION Health Locate for AeroScout and Cisco that utilizes the entire Cisco Unified Communications platform including Cisco Unified Presence Server for location services.

Todd Plesko, CEO of EXTENSION, INC. noted, "EXTENSION can offer an extensive number of interfaces through a single, enterprise appliance. When healthcare institutions implement our solutions they can expect immediate improvements in communications among disparate systems, departments and across their entire organization. We are thrilled to have joined forces with AeroScout as this allows us to provide a solution in the fast-growing healthcare RTLS space with the recognized market leader."

EXTENSION and AeroScout can now offer the following features and functionality to healthcare customers:

• HL7-enabled AeroScout alerts
• advanced AeroScout alerting via Text-to-Speech phone calls
• alert management capabilities such as acceptance and escalation, and
• location-enabled EXTENSION alerts.

AeroScout ’s Director of Product Architecture, Scott Phillips, said, “Adding EXTENSION enhanced messaging to our alerts delivers even more value to customers from our Temperature Monitoring, Asset Tracking and Patient Flow solutions. We can now offer Text-to-Speech, priority alerts and queuing to our healthcare customers. Working with EXTENSION, we are able to help doctors, nurses and other hospital staff increase efficiencies and minimize the time wasted on coordination.”

EXTENSION and AeroScout will be exhibiting at the HIMSS 2010 (Healthcare Information Management Systems Society) conference March 1-3, 2010 in Atlanta, Georgia and will offer live demonstrations of their integrated solutions in EXTENSION’s booth #5955 and AeroScout ’s booth #8055.
