CULVER CITY, CA (March 5, 2009) –KARL STORZ Endoscopy-America, Inc., a world leader in advanced endoscopy technologies and operating room integration solutions, announces that it has acquired Global Care Quest (GCQ™), effective October 7, 2008. The company will be a new business unit of KARL STORZ. Founded in 2005, GCQ™ is based in Aliso Viejo, California, and is the developer of ICIS (Integrated Clinical Information System), which performs real-time integration and delivery of disparate forms of digital medical information.
“KARL STORZ has had a marketing agreement with GCQ™ since 2006,” says Charles H. Wilhelm, President – Chief Operating Officer. “Our acquisition of the company now expands our vision for providing true interoperability across OR technologies. The addition of ICIS technology to the OR1® system enables us to deliver intuitive and highly effective access to an extended range of patient data, clinical images and other relevant information in real time.”
ICIS is a software solution that “reaches out” over hospital networks to a wide range of information sources. Vital patient information is gathered into one coordinated display, the ICIS Dashboard. The visual display is a customizable set of windows that practitioners can configure to suit clinical needs and specific preferences. Remote access is also provided by ICIS Mobile, which allows the same patient information to be viewed and controlled via secure Web access or using a handheld device over a cellular network. In this way, ICIS enables surgeons to stay connected with clinical activities through real-time integration and delivery of patient records, charting, bedside monitoring data, and laboratory results.
“Advances in information management and communication technologies enabled development of ICIS Dashboard and ICIS Mobile,” says Neil A. Martin, MD, Founder/CEO, GCQ™. “These powerful systems now give practitioners new capabilities for accessing vital information and images to speed diagnosis and treatment of critically ill patients. Combined with OR1, these innovative solutions can enhance and extend the patient care environment, while supporting telemedicine and telementoring initiatives.”
OR1® is the comprehensive operating room integration solution from KARL STORZ that seamlessly combines high-performance surgical and imaging technologies, as well as data management. Touchscreen panels feature a realistic user interface for intuitive icon-based control, giving surgeons and OR teams complete command of system settings and functions. OR1® offers a range of advanced capabilities that promote educational and knowledge-sharing programs, including telesurgery and telementoring. “KARL STORZ has always been a leader in bringing innovative and creative solutions to our customers, and our acquisition of GCQ™ is yet another step in the right direction,” says Wilhelm.

Teleradiology Solution for Remote Mobile Access of CT and MRI images will save lives
Feb 22, 2008
ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 22 /PRNewswire/ — (HIMSS08) — Dr. Neil Martin, Founder/CEO of Global Care Quest and Chief of Neurosurgery at UCLA Medical Center, will deliver a presentation at HIMSS08 on a new wireless mobile technology solution that allows physicians to view CT and MRI images and scans from remote locations. This solution, ICIS Mobile, transmits images over high speed wireless networks to a physician’s cell phone or PDA.
According to Dr. Martin, “The first three hours following the onset of a critical health episode like a stroke are critical. If care is delayed beyond this critical time window, the chance of recovery or even survival declines substantially.”
Dr. Martin will present how new wireless technology has proven especially effective in addressing this limited time window by allowing rapid transmission and viewing of images wherever the physician is located.
“Much of the first hour following the onset of these critical episodes is spent simply getting the patient to the emergency room,” Dr. Martin related. “Then the patient must then be diagnosed, CT and MRI images and scans taken and developed. Finally, a specially trained physician must review the images and make a decision on the appropriate treatment protocol,” he said.
The ICIS Mobile viewer developed by Martin and his colleagues greatly reduces the time required in making the crucial diagnosis. Dr. Martin will explain in detail how this wireless mobile solution sends images to the diagnosing physician who can view the images from his home, another office, or even from his car using a PDA or cell phone and then call or email his diagnosis and treatment instructions to the patient’s location.
“Only recently has wireless networking, imaging technology and handheld devices (such as powerful cell phones) progressed to permit diagnostic quality images to be delivered remotely at an affordable price point,” said Martin.
Once implemented in hospital settings, this technology will greatly benefit many critically ill patients by saving significant amounts of time that is crucial in the initial three hour window. This savings will translate directly to saved lives and improved treatment outcomes.
Dr. Martin’s presentation, Wireless Mobility: Remote PACS Access in Your Pocket” will be delivered at HIMSS08 in Orlando, Florida Wednesday, February 27, 2008 from 8:30 to 9:30 AM, presentation number 128 and is designated as an advanced presentation in the Emerging Technologies category.
