HCL Launches ACE (TM) SmartCare(c) Solution at HiMSS

Developed in Collaboration With Orlando Health, ACE SmartCare Helps Providers Deliver Improved, Intelligent, and Impactful Care

ORLANDO, Florida, February 21, 2011/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --     HCL Technologies Ltd. (HCL), a leading global IT services provider, today
launched ACTIVE CARE EXCELLENCE (ACE) SmartCare Clinical Decision Support
solution at the HiMSS Conference in Orlando.

    ACE SmartCare is a patient-centered, real time care management
solution that dramatically improves patient care as soon as patients arrive
at the hospital through automated, continuous clinical surveillance and care
measures delivered via alerts to physicians at the point of care. This more
efficient delivery of care and compliance also results in significant savings
for health care provider organizations. Due to recent legislation, healthcare
providers are under tremendous pressure to improve patient-centered care
while also continuously monitoring for evidence-based medicine interventions
and core-measure compliance. ACE SmartCare uses automation to alleviate some
of the pressures providers are up against.

    "ACE SmartCare is a breakthrough Clinical Decision Support solution that
ensures that quality measures are met and evidence-based medicine is
practiced at Orlando Health," said Rick Schooler, CIO of Orlando Health.
"Working with HCL on ACE SmartCare will directly enhance our business by
improving the efficiency and quality of care delivery."

    SmartCare is a highly customizable mobile device-enabled solution
featuring unified messaging through voice, data alerts and notifications
across clinical settings. The ACE Solution Suite utilizes a predictive
analytics model to generate configurable alerts, responses, escalations
mechanisms and dashboards to help Providers maintain compliance. In addition,
a plug in to an EMR clinical IT system through SmartCare improves Providers
timely delivery of care.

    Pradep Nair, Sr. Vice President of the Healthcare Practice at HCL, said,
"With HCL's extensive knowledge in the healthcare space and its continuous
drive to create innovative solutions for its customers, ACESmartCare will
play an important part in transforming the way healthcare professionals work
and provide patient care. Our research and feedback from customers and
prospects affirm that no product or solution in the market helped providers
meet critical measures and compliance requirements, until ACE SmartCare."

    Orlando Health has utilized ACE SmartCare to establish rules, data
surveillance, alerts and accountability to improve the flow of information to
doctors. Specific benefits of ACE SmartCare include:

   
    - A meaningful approach to clinical decision support through proactive
    real-time alerts and messaging at point of care, before patient
    discharge

    - Proactive monitoring of quality measures to ensure no
    opportunities are missed-a prospective rather than retrospective
    approach

    - Evidence-based care delivery that is both proactive and
    consistent
