(Carlsbad, CA - December 19, 2003) Market leader EOS International announces that Sunrise Medical System has selected EOS e-Library Service to automate its current manual Cardex information retrieval system. The three-hospital health care system will provide access to information for over 1,500 doctors and countless other health care professionals.
Once implemented, the Sunrise Medical System expects to reap the rewards of decreased costs due to the reduced staffing requirements required by the innovative ASP-hosted library automation service verses an in-house operation.
"EOS e-Library Service represents the best 'Bang for the Buck' in the industry," states library industry veteran Tony Saadat, CEO of EOS International. "Members of the service realize substantially lower staffing requirements and cost savings due to all hardware and software operations being taken care of behind the scenes for them."
This leaves Library Director David Kettle free to concentrate on how he plans to improve access to library information. Plans include embedding links to online journals within MARC records which will provide doctors access to hundreds of journals and e-journals, such as the Journal of the American Medical Association.
The library will also be delivering more value to all patrons by making the contents of their many continuing education classes available online. Class materials such as PowerPoint presentations, videos, and other supportive educational materials will be accessible from the library.
