Contracts for GE Healthcare, Neurostar

Emory Healthcare, Georgia’s largest and most comprehensive healthcare system, has selected IntelliMotion, GE Healthcare’s active RFID system. Emory will initially install tracking tags in all infusion pumps throughout the hospital to increase utilization and reduce staff time spent locating the equipment. IntelliMotion uses a proprietary RFID network to locate tagged equipment within a facility. The technology IntelliMotion operates through a separate network that does not interfere with existing healthcare networks – wired or wireless – and does not consume valuable network bandwidth.


Randolph County Hospital in Pocahontas, Ark. has selected Neurostar’s Virtual Radiology Network to enable digital image management and remote reading of its multi-modality exams by the Northeast Arkansas Clinic in Jonesboro.
