HEALTH SYSTEM Keeping Costs Under Control and Expanding Access to
Quality Healthcare VISICU, Inc. (NASDAQ:EICU) today announces that
during President Bush�s recent visit to Saint Luke�s East � Lee�s
Summit hospital he witnessed the power of VISICU�s eICU� Program.
Prior to participating in a healthcare roundtable with local small
business owners to discuss his healthcare initiatives, President
Bush observed Saint Luke�s eICU� Program monitoring patient ICU
beds in a remote location six hours away. According to Jennifer
Ball R.N., Operations Director for the eICU� Program, �The
President was impressed with the technology and asked about the
penetration of its use across other healthcare systems.� The
President later proceeded to emphasize �the power of information
technology to help compassionate doctors and nurses better do their
job while holding the cost of healthcare down � its affordability
and availability of healthcare. It�s very exciting.� During the
President�s visit, G. Richard Hastings, Saint Luke�s Health System
President and CEO, reported on eICU� Program benefits which reflect
a mortality rate approximately 20 percent less than the national
average for ICU treatment with reduced costs of approximately 25
percent. More than 250,000 patients are currently being monitored
annually by eICU� Programs across the country. Saint Luke�s Health
System is the first in the Kansas City region to provide
caregivers, even in remote locations, with tools that enable them
to look after critically ill patients around the clock. The eICU�
Program combines proprietary early warning software and remote
monitoring to connect off-site critical care physicians and nurses
to ICU patients and their providers throughout the healthcare
system. This method has been proven to reduce unnecessary
complications therefore improving mortality rates and shortening
hospital length of stay. About Saint Luke�s Health System Saint
