Hospira MedNetsafety software is featured in the Interoperability Showcase at the HIMSS 2010 ( Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society ) Annual Conference and Exhibition.

Hospira, Inc., a leading provider of clinical information and medication delivery technologies, announced that the Hospira MedNetsafety software is currently being featured in the Interoperability Showcase at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society Annual Conference and Exhibition ( HIMSS 10 ) in Atlanta through March 4. Hospira's successful testing of Hospira MedNet for multiple integration profiles, including implementations of medication administration and alarm communications at the Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise ( IHE ) 2010 North American Connectathon, drove its inclusion in the Showcase, which will demonstrate real-world examples of today’s complex healthcare environments and the advanced technologies that support them.


During the IHE Connectathon, Hospira MedNet was validated specifically for use with Hospira’s Plum A+ and Symbiqinfusion pumps. The IHE Connectathon is the healthcare information technology industry's premier large-scale interoperability testing event, where leaders of industry gather to verify connectivity of clinical technologies and promote interoperability, or connectivity, between systems as a catalyst for improving the quality, safety and efficiency of patient care.

In addition to driving interoperability between its own medication management systems and clinical information technology solutions such as VeriScan Rx  medication administration barcode point-of-care system, Hospira also develops products that communicate seamlessly with multiple hospital technology systems. Through its Hospira MedNet safety software platform, Hospira facilitates cross-vendor interoperability by successfully partnering with other technology providers. 

Hospira is one of the few vendors to provide open platform technology, enabling Hospira MedNet software to be used bi-directionally to connect multiple hospital systems. To date, Hospira has partnered with several technology companies, including AeroScout , Cerner , InnerWireless and Orion Health , to ensure successful implementations of interoperable technology.
