Meridian Makes CES Good For Your Health
Date:1/9/2009

Solutions to tomorrow's (and even today's) health problems may be found among the latest gizmos and gadgets at the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 9 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- We have become accustomed to technology changing the way we shop, listen to music, and even stay in touch with our friends and family.

With an academic medical center, two community hospitals, a children's hospital, in-home care services, nursing homes, and other health care facilities, Meridian is an organization on the front lines of today's health care battles. A rapidly aging population, the climbing number of uninsured, escalating cost for care, and declining rate of government and managed care reimbursement, are just a few of the challenges that continue to make healthcare one of the nation's number one issues. The need for technologies to integrate into the healthcare system can seamlessly connect patient-to-doctor-to-hospital, while reducing errors and unnecessary hospitalizations.
