Technology Conference and Exhibition in Chicago, Illinois earlier
this month. Al Cook, past President of AHRMM and Director of
Materials Management and Purchasing at The Regional Medical Center,
stated, "Increasing asset utilization while improving patient care
services through location of available equipment is a high priority
within healthcare. IBSS' integrated dispatch functionality, added
to the powerful asset tracking capability of SynTrack(TM), offers a
technology platform, available today, with which to achieve this
goal." "The demand for a dispatch and tracking solution for central
transport applications in medical institutions was recently
confirmed at the Chicago conference. We expect the healthcare
version of our technology, originally designed and developed to
address the dispatching challenges for special needs passengers in
airports, will prove to be a powerful new addition to IBSS' product
platform," added Lee Dunston, Director of Sales for IBSS. "Through
the demonstrated success of our dispatch technology at use today in
metropolitan airports around the country, we began receiving calls
from traveling healthcare executives inquiring whether our dispatch
technology could be adapted to more complex hospital environments.
Considering IBSS has already developed and is now marketing
SynTrack(TM) for Healthcare to hospitals nationwide, we are highly
familiar with the unique equipment and personnel tracking
challenges that face most hospitals. Our new advanced dispatching
and transport system is a powerful complement and extension to
IBSS' existing healthcare offerings that we expect will help to
distinguish IBSS as a preferred solutions provider to the
healthcare industry," stated Dr. George Mendenhall, Chief Executive
Officer of IBSS. About SynTrack(TM) Mobile Dispatch and Transport
for Healthcare: The SynTrack(TM) Mobile Dispatch and Transport for
Healthcare system is based upon IBSS' successful PDS Express mobile
dispatch application that is deployed in major airports in the U.S.
This established and proven mobile dispatch functionality was
tailored to fit the needs of hospitals to better manage their needs
to dispatch and transport patients, equipment, supplies and
services. The system allows healthcare organizations to centralize
transport functions and operate more efficiently while improving
the quality of patient care. The PDS Express mobile dispatch system
is being deployed by Prospect Airport Services, Inc., one of the
Nation's leading providers of contracted services to major

major airports as Dallas (DFW), Detroit (DTW), Chicago's O'Hare
(ORD), Las Vegas (LAS) and Phoenix (PHX) to dispatch, transport and
track disabled passengers and unaccompanied minors through some of
the busiest airports in the country. The system currently handles
thousands of transport orders per month in each of these airports.
Now healthcare organizations can begin taking advantage of this
proven solution to improve efficiencies, increase patient
throughput and quality of patient care while lowering costs. The
SynTrack(TM) Mobile Dispatch and Transport system uses wireless
hand held computing devices such as the Symbol Mc50 to manage
transport and services requests that are generated by in-house
hospital management systems or the SynTrack(TM) web-based
application. SynTrack(TM) Mobile Dispatch and Transport when
