Three Fujitsu Customers Awarded Computerworld Honors Program Laureate Status
SUNNYVALE, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 06/26/07 -- IDG's Computerworld magazine honored three
Fujitsu Computer Systems Corporation customers -- the College of
Engineering at the University of Virginia Tech, Provena Home Care and Saint
Clare's Hospital -- as members of the Computerworld Honors Program
Laureates Class of 2007.
Established in 1988, the Computerworld Honors Program brings together the
principles of the world's foremost information technology companies to
recognize and document the achievements of the men, women, organizations
and institutions around the world, whose visionary applications of
information technology promote positive social, economic and educational
change.
"We congratulate Virginia Tech, Provena and Saint Clare's on being honored
by Computerworld magazine for implementing innovative IT projects that
benefit society and promote positive social, economic and educational
change," said Richard McCormack, senior vice president of marketing at
Fujitsu Computer Systems Corporation. "Fujitsu continues to be committed to
using technology for the good of society."
The College of Engineering at Virginia Tech was honored in the education
and academia category for its Tablet PC-based learning environment. To
facilitate an active and creative learning environment, in 2006 the College
of Engineering at Virginia Tech became the first and largest public college
of engineering to require all 1,400 incoming freshmen to purchase Tablet
PCs. While there are a number of Tablet PC solutions on the market, based
on a partnership with Microsoft and Fujitsu, called the Premier Alliance,
Virginia Tech recommended students purchase the Fujitsu LifeBook® T4000
Series convertible Tablet PC, which combines the familiarity of a notebook
with the versatile functionality of a slate Tablet PC. Today, both faculty
and students use Tablet PCs inside and outside the classroom.
Provena Home Care was honored in the health care category for its mobile
patient information system. At Provena, the ability to accurately track
patient information is vital to meeting patient care and business goals. To
improve efficiency, accuracy of patient and billing information, and
quality of patient care, the IT team implemented a mobile,
touch-screen-enabled, digital patient information system and equipped
clinicians with Fujitsu LifeBook P1500 Series convertible notebooks to
enable them to record symptoms, care provided, and general observations at
the point of care.
Saint Clare's Hospital, a state-of-the-art facility, was honored in the
health care category for its chartless hospital environment. To create an
all-digital environment, the hospital equipped caregivers with Fujitsu
LifeBook T4000 Series Tablet PCs to read and record patient data by typing,
writing or dictating information into the patient information system. By
digitizing patient information, the hospital has improved the patient
experience and reduced the cost of care.
The Computerworld Honors medal ceremonies were held on June 4 at the Andrew
W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D.C. To view the complete list of
