AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 23, 2004 – Motion Computing® today announced the Motion Medical Pak, a suite of factory-installed, tablet PC-optimized applications designed to provide healthcare professionals with everyday tools from a drug reference to customizable office forms.

Medical Pak includes applications from industry leaders Gold Standard Multimedia, Elsevier and Standard Register (NYSE:SR), and is designed for Microsoft Office 2003™ Small Business Edition, OneNote and Motion's award-winning line of M1300 tablet PCs. These personal productivity applications complement the growing number of healthcare-specific software programs developed by Motion's independent software vendors and value-added resellers.

“We are pleased to be working with Motion Computing as it continues to help the healthcare industry achieve increased efficiency and improved patient care through proven and easy-to-use innovations like the Medical Pak,” said David Lubinski, managing director, Microsoft Healthcare and Life Sciences. “This new offering encourages increased communication and collaboration between healthcare providers by enabling them to quickly access information at the point of care using familiar tools.”

Developed in conjunction with Microsoft's Healthcare Marketing Group, Medical Pak is for doctors, nurses, technicians and other healthcare practitioners who frequently reference medical and pharmacological information and complete healthcare forms. The Motion Medical Pak includes:

  • Gold Standard Multimedia Clinical Pharmacology OfficePak : Developed to work with Microsoft Office 2003, Clinical Pharmacology OfficePak arms caregivers with up-to-date, clinically relevant information on all U.S. prescription drugs, as well as herbal supplements, nutritional products, over-the-counter products, new drugs and investigational drugs.
  • Elsevier Dorland Medical Dictionary and Spell Checker : The 30th Edition of Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary contains more than 123,000 entries covering all of the language integral to contemporary medicine.
  • Standard Register's physician office forms: Standard Register's physician office form templates, provided in Microsoft Windows Journal and Word, streamline daily office operations, allowing clinicians to spend more time delivering patient care.
  • Microsoft Office 2003 Small Business Edition and OneNote: Office 2003 Small Business Edition features the latest pen-enabled advances for widely used programs such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook. OneNote 2003 combines the freedom and flexibility of paper notes with the efficiency and power of digital organizational tools.
“Healthcare is our fastest growing market segment, and the Motion Medical Pak is our response to the needs of our customers and resellers,” said Steve Pittman, Motion's vice president of business development. “Medical Pak demonstrates our commitment to make it even easier for doctors, nurses and other medical practitioners to benefit from the Motion slate tablet PC's ultra-mobility by having immediate access to common medical references and forms in one package.”
