VeriChip Adds 65 Hospitals/Emergency Departments to its VeriMed
Network on First Day of AAEM Conference DELRAY BEACH, Fla., March
13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VeriChip Corporation (NASDAQ:CHIP), a
provider of RFID systems for healthcare and patient-related needs,
announced today that 65 new hospitals have agreed to participate in
the VeriMed Patient Identification System network at the American
Academy of Emergency Medicine (AAEM) 13th Annual Scientific
Assembly conference in Las Vegas, bringing the Company's total
number of enrolled hospitals to more than 500. Scott R. Silverman,
Chairman and CEO of VeriChip, commented, "We are very pleased to
add 65 new hospitals to our network on day one of this three-day
conference. Furthermore, we are proud to achieve a significant
milestone in our infrastructure build-out. With more than 500
hospitals now enrolled in the VeriMed Patient Identification
System, we are well on our way to meeting our stated year-end goal
of 800 hospitals in the VeriMed network." The VeriMed Patient
Identification System, which consists of a hand-held radio
frequency identification (RFID) scanner, an implantable RFID
microchip, and a secure patient database, is being used to help
rapidly identify and provide access to important health information
on participating patients. The new healthcare facilities agreed to
use the VeriMed reader as standard protocol to scan patients that
arrive in emergency rooms unconscious, delirious or confused. The
Company continues to provide readers to hospitals and other
healthcare facilities at no charge as part of its efforts to "seed"
the infrastructure for the VeriMed patient identification system.
