SURG NEWS JUST OUT...Friday May 22, 10:44 am Eastern Time Company Press Release OASiS Touch-Access Information System Impresses Toughest Critics! SAN DIEGO--(BW HealthWire)--May 22, 1998--The Association of Infection Control Professionals and Epidemiologists (APIC) met here last week and one of the major topics of concern was the surveillance of accidental needlesticks and other exposures to bloodborne pathogens. The Occupational Automated Services Information System (OASiS) made a clear and decisive impact on what were thought to be the toughest critics in the healthcare industry. Presenting this (patent pending) system to the 3000 Infection Control Professionals (ICPs) in attendance was SURG Vice-President Don Lawrence. ''This has been a very sensitive and elusive topic for ICPs. The fact that no real surveillance system has ever proven itself gave our presentation an even greater impact.'' He continued, ''Once again OASiS stole the show...I believe it will be the topic of the majority of infection control committees across the country this month.'' So, what does this mean to SURG, a leader in the healthcare worker safety niche? For one thing, it means nearly a dozen applications from multi-facility hospital systems wanting to be a part of the next wave of OASiS installation. And, it resulted in at least four times that many facilities wanting to know more about the development of this revolutionary new information system. ''It wasn't just the bloodborne pathogen exposure surveillance that intrigued these workers. The integration of regulatory training and the educational aspects made available by touch-access really piqued their interest.'' Focusing on a new directive recently outlined by a panel of pertinent experts in related fields, OASiS is tackling four key areas for healthcare facilities: regulatory compliance, education, customer service and risk management. What is truly unique about OASiS is its integration of touch-access making this organized information available to anyone regardless of his or her computer aptitude. The system is the first ever to provide open, easy access to all of healthcare including the healthcare workers, administration, regulatory entities and related industry concerns. With the successful launch of the alpha test facility complete, and an array of facilities applying for the system, SURG has the luxury of hand picking the next installation sites. What's more, with an anticipated agreement with a major medical device manufacturer in the works, the next major obstacle for SURG just may be which hospital to install next. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contact: Surgical Safety Products Inc.
