Mercy Medical Center to Provide Remote ICU Support to Rural Communities of Iowa

BALTIMORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--VISICU Inc., (NASDAQ:EICU), the leading healthcare information technology and clinical solutions company focused on critical care, announced today that Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines, Iowa and Mercy Medical Center Sioux City have signed an agreement to implement the first eICU® programs in Iowa. The hospitals are members of Mercy Health Network (MHN) - an Iowa based integrated system of 11 member hospitals and 26 affiliate hospitals. Initially, Mercy Health Network plans to provide the eICU's remote monitoring capabilities to its member hospitals in Des Moines and Sioux City.

The eICU system is expected to directly benefit hospitals in 16 rural communities affiliated with Mercy Des Moines and Mercy Sioux City's rural community hospitals that it manages or owns. Mercy Sioux City provides medical services in the tri-state area of Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota.

The eICU system at Mercy Medical Center - Des Moines, a 917-bed acute care facility, will be operational in late 2007 with the first 54 critical care beds equipped with advanced eICU technology. This will allow intensive care physicians the ability to remotely monitor critically ill patients in multiple intensive care units across the state.
