Hospira Describes Wireless Plans in Conference Call

From Hospira's transcript of their investor conference call:

For 2005, we are still planning to introduce the wireless, networked version of MedNet for Plum A+, as well as wireless MedNet for our PCA, or patient-controlled analgesia, platform.

In addition, two weeks ago, we announced a development agreement with Bridge Medical to create a new wireless, point-of-care medication management solution that will link our MedNet software with the Bridge MedPoint barcode-enabled point-of-care system. This is part of our strategy to develop products that can be seamlessly integrated, using an “open architecture” approach, to interface with the majority of hospital information systems. Our work with Cerner was our first partnership in this area, and Bridge represents an additional collaboration.
