King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre Achieves Highest Level of Health Care IT Adoption
RIYADH, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Oct. 12, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre (KFSH&RC) is the first health system outside of North America to achieve Stage 7 on the ambulatory Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model (EMRAMSM) by HIMSS Analytics, the highest recognition for use of clinical information technology (IT) systems and advanced safety features to improve health outcomes and enhance the patient care experience.
KFSH&RC is Saudi Arabia's first integrated digital hospital that successfully deployed the highest level of health IT.
"KFSH&RC shares Cerner's belief that a solid health IT infrastructure is the foundation for improving the health and care of patients and the community. Being the first health care facility outside of the North America to reach Stage 7 is not only an honor, but a reflection of the hard work and dedication of our KFSH&RC leadership and colleagues, and the committed efforts of the Healthcare Information and Technology Affairs department," said Osama Alswailem, MD, MA, chief information officer at King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre. "The Cerner Millennium® EHR supported our goal of providing integrated high-quality health care services to our patients. With Cerner solutions, our staff is equipped to make more informed decisions and access to the right patient information at the right time."
One of the key success factors in achieving HIMSS Stage 7 for ambulatory was implementing Sehaty®, the patient portal developed by KFSH&RC, which allows patients to securely access their personal medical records and health data in an easy-to-use online environment. This interactive patient portal helps to improve the way patients communicate with providers.
In 2012, KFSH&RC was the first facility in the Middle East to achieve inpatient HIMSS Stage 6 recognition. Three years later, KFSH&RC achieved HIMSS Stage 6 for ambulatory. It was the first facility throughout the Middle East and Africa to earn this title.
"King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Center is a longtime Cerner client, and we are extremely pleased for its HIMSS Stage 7 ambulatory achievement. This level of accomplishment does not come without many years of hard work and determination," said Ali Slimani, senior director and general manager of Cerner Middle East and Africa. "We are delighted that Cerner Millennium is one of the key components that enabled KFSH&RC to receive such an honor. This puts the organization in a league of its own in regards to other EHRs in the region."
More than 13 years ago, KFSH&RC launched an integrated clinical information system that enabled authorized users to capture, retrieve and share patient data seamlessly and helped the system increase patient quality, clinical outcomes and service excellence. Cerner has successfully implemented solutions in more than 20 KFSH&RC departments, including surgery, emergency, radiology, laboratory and patient access. KFSH&RC leaders will share their success story at Cerner's Health Conference this month.

Leading companies from the AEC industries will gather at the annual event in Orlando, FL to learn how the implementation of new technologies are shaping today's construction processes and how EarthCam is supporting the industry with its newest solutions.
EarthCam is changing the perception that it's impossible to stream high quality live video over 4G cellular networks with its new Mobile StreamCam 4K solution. Featuring ultra-high resolution video for exceptional imagery, details are magnified and captured in 8 megapixel archives. The Mobile StreamCam 4K is completely portable and weighs less than 10 pounds, making it simple to move from one location to another.

With wireless 4G connectivity built right into the case, project managers can broadcast to the internet in seconds, transporting a private group of executives to the jobsite or even a worldwide audience via a public website. The camera includes a 109° wide angle of view, great for getting into narrow spaces and making it a preferred solution for interior documentation. Ultra-HD live video can be transformed into a time-lapse movie to showcase any construction project in a dynamic way.
EarthCam makes jobsite documentation a seamless process with its ability to integrate into third-party project management software programs, such as Autodesk BIM 360™, Procore and SharePoint. Clients utilizing both EarthCam's construction cameras and photography documentation services will benefit from the ability to share and organize their jobsite photos within their company's internal project management suite. Users have the ability to display their jobsite cameras, access the archive calendar and share updating images in their software.
The webcam technology leader is also supporting the industry with mobile apps and visual information tools that elevate the project management process. With the new Site Map Cam app, users can turn their iPhone into a powerful jobsite documentation tool. Clients can document and track progress by attaching photos to construction site plans for a complete visual history of any project.

Singapore Post Limited to Acquire a Majority Stake in Jagged Peak, Inc.
TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 9, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jagged Peak, Inc. (OTC Pink:JGPK), a leading provider of enterprise-class e-commerce software solutions and supply chain services (the "Company"), and Singapore Post Limited (Singapore Stock Exchange:S08.SI), a leading provider of mail, logistics and ecommerce solutions in Singapore and the Asia Pacific region ("SingPost"), today announced that the Company and SP Jagged Peak LLC, a newly organized Delaware limited liability company ("SP JP") owned by SingPost, have entered into a definitive agreement under which SP JP will acquire all of the outstanding stock of the Company other than approximately 28.9% of the stock which is held by Paul Demirdjian and Primrose Demirdjian. Mr. Demirdjian is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and both Mr. and Mrs. Demirdjian are directors, principal shareholders and founders of the Company.
Under the agreement, SP JP and the Demirdjians will form a new company which will be merged with and into the Company at the closing (the "Merger"). As a result of the Merger, each share of the Company's common stock outstanding at the closing, excluding shares owned by the Demirdjians and shares held by Company's shareholders who properly exercise appraisal rights under Nevada law, will be converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to $1.08 minus an amount equal to the transaction expenses incurred by the Company divided by the total number of shares outstanding at the closing of the Merger on a fully-diluted basis. Presently, the Company anticipates that transaction expenses will be approximately $0.09 per share, resulting in a cash payment to shareholders of approximately $0.99 per share, which represents a premium of approximately 32% over the closing price for common stock on October 8, 2015. The transaction will be financed by SingPost through its existing internal cash resources.
SP JP and the Demirdjians have also entered into an agreement which contains put and call rights for the Demirdjians and SP JP relating to the purchase and sale of the Demirdjian's stock in the Company following the Merger under certain conditions and at various prices.
All of the Company's directors, who together own approximately 68.4% of the outstanding stock of the Company, have entered into Voting Agreements with SP JP under which they have agreed to vote in favor of the transaction at any meeting called for that purpose.
"SingPost's investment in Jagged Peak is evidence of a new era of eCommerce where global infrastructure and fulfillment needs are becoming the new norm," said Chief Executive Officer Paul Demirdjian. "This merger is an exciting opportunity that will allow us to provide retailers and consumer brands with an end-to-end worldwide solution."
Mr. Lim Ho Kee, Chairman of SingPost, said, "As SingPost pioneers and leads eCommerce logistics in Asia Pacific, we are casting our eyes beyond the region. Jagged Peak can enable end-to-end fulfilment of eCommerce orders across the US. SingPost is excited about this capability. This transaction is also part of our strategy to focus our resources on strengthening our geographical reach and the technology we employ as an eCommerce logistics company."
Dr. Wolfgang Baier, Group Chief Executive Officer of SingPost, said, "This acquisition will 'connect the dots' and make our eCommerce logistics network global. The acquisition of Jagged Peak allows us to use their state-of-the-art eCommerce omni-channel technology to enable brands and retailers not only to leverage their warehouse facilities in over 20 locations in the US but expand these services into our Asia Pacific warehouse network. A win-win for existing and future customers. We have planted the seeds with this investment of what will be SingPost's global multi-channel B2B4C eCommerce logistics platform."
Closing of the Merger is subject to certain closing conditions, including obtaining the approval of the Company's shareholders at a meeting called for that purpose and other customary conditions. Further information regarding the terms and conditions in the definitive agreement, will be contained in a Current Report on Form 8-K which will be filed promptly with the SEC.

Cerner Signs Up More Than 1,200 Provider Sites to Use CommonWell Services
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 8, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The reach of the CommonWell Health Alliance continues to grow, as Cerner announced today that more than 1,200 care provider sites, which represent more than 75 Cerner clients, have signed up to use CommonWell interoperability services to date.
"Ubiquitous, nationwide interoperability will take time, but we're seeing positive momentum," said Bob Robke, vice president of Interoperability, Cerner. "We're proud to have our clients joining us in advancing interoperability and applaud their leadership in getting our industry one step closer to helping patients share their records with their providers, wherever they receive treatment."
Cerner clients use CommonWell services to exchange health data across the care continuum. CommonWell uses a standards-based approach to connect different EHR suppliers.
"Since the alliance was formed in 2013, it has worked diligently with both the government and the private sector to stand up a nationwide infrastructure to securely share patient data, regardless of where care occurs," said Jitin Asnaani, executive director, CommonWell Health Alliance. "The many providers that have signed up to use CommonWell services through their health IT supplier understand that sharing information across organizations is the right thing to do for the patient."
As the number of providers that use CommonWell services across the United States continues to grow, providers are seeing value from connecting with other health care organizations in their community and surrounding regions. Nanticoke Health Services will benefit from the high volume of provider organizations in the greater Delaware region that have signed with CommonWell through their EHR suppliers, including Cerner, athenahealth and Greenway Health.
"As we continue to bring CommonWell live across our provider base, we will begin to see real value in the patient information that our providers are able to access through CommonWell," said Charles Palmer, chief information officer, Nanticoke Health Services. "Physicians are excited that by the end of year, they will be able to use CommonWell to help them make better treatment decisions because they had more context about the patient's care that happened outside of our organization."

Cerner Clients Test SMART on FHIR Apps Within EHR
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 8, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cerner, a global leader in health care technology, has unveiled a production version of HL7's FHIR® standard that is being tested in the Cerner Millennium® electronic health record (EHR).
"This next-generation standards framework enables health care organizations to utilize Cerner's open platform, which is designed to enable third-party innovators to advance care delivery and improve interoperability capabilities with other FHIR-compliant EHR systems," said Dr. David McCallie, senior vice president, medical informatics at Cerner. "This integrated approach will provide clinicians access to 'pluggable apps' directly within their workflows that are designed to expand and transform the way care is delivered."
Cerner clients will test SMART® on FHIR apps within Cerner Millennium. Mosaic Life Care has already begun to test a clinical decision support system that helps clinicians recognize and diagnose visually presenting conditions, VisualDX®, in its ambulatory clinics, emergency departments and throughout the hospital.
"The development of SMART on FHIR apps within Cerner Millennium is comparable to smartphones replacing pagers," said Brennan Lehman, CIO at Mosaic Life Care. "For years, we've struggled with complex interfaces, faxing and scanning to piece together the patient story. From the patient's perspective, care isn't limited to the four walls of the hospital. FHIR enabled apps seamlessly integrated with Cerner Millennium create the platform to solve the puzzle."
VisualDX will demonstrate its app in the Solutions Gallery at Cerner's Health Conference (CHC), Oct. 11-14, in Kansas City, Mo.
CHC attendees will also be able to explore a variety of SMART on FHIR apps on interactive touch-screens, including xG Health's EnrG | Rheum app and two open source apps created by Boston Children's Hospital.
Cerner continues to build FHIR services to support a wide variety of clinical resources and will continue to follow the standard, including the recently balloted Draft Standard for Trial Use 2.0. By the end of the year, an initial catalog of SMART on FHIR applications will be generally available for use to extend the Cerner Millennium platform.
Cerner's FHIR sandbox and documentation are available to clients and third-party application developers at fhir.cerner.com.
