Verity TeleForm Plays Key Role at Kenyan AIDS Clinic
Content Capture Software Used to Speed Creation of Patient Treatment Database
Part of Presidential Initiative to Treat AIDS in Resource-Poor Countries
SUNNYVALE, Calif. - 2005-06-06 - Verity Inc. (NASDAQ: VRTY), a leading provider of enterprise software that enables organizations to maximize the return on their intellectual capital investment, today announced that its Verity® TeleForm™ paper-to-electronic content capture software is being utilized at the Hope Center for Infectious Diseases in Kenya to accelerate the compiling of a database of patient treatment records that will help to improve the quality of care delivered to HIV-positive individuals and to enhance AIDS treatment programs in that country and, conceivably, other nations.
The center is a joint effort of the University of Washington and the Coptic Mission Hospital in Nairobi, Kenya's capital. It is a collaboration supported in part by the President of the United States; Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), a $15 billion initiative to treat AIDS and prevent the spread of HIV in resource-poor countries. Kenya is one of 15 nations selected to receive PEPFAR funding and the Hope Center is one of the largest HIV treatment clinics in that country. Earlier this year, Kenyan Vice-President Moody Awori and the American Ambassador to Kenya William M. Bellamy inaugurated the Hope Center for Infectious Diseases.
"The Hope Center was established by Coptic Christians from Egypt and faculty from the University of Washington who wanted to help Kenyans living with AIDS but who could not afford treatment," said Dr. King Holmes, professor and director of the University of Washington Center for AIDS and STD. "Verity TeleForm software used in this setting is a powerful testimony to its ability to achieve accuracy rates approaching 100 percent. The physicians, clinicians and other health care workers appreciate the ease, speed and reliability of Verity TeleForm to input growing amounts of patient information."
Verity's TeleForm is a high-accuracy, high-throughput automated content capture system that reduces the operating costs associated with manual data entry, increases efficiency and provides an on-ramp for a range of applications. Verity TeleForm, in tandem with Fujitsu's fi-4750C and M4097D scanners, has provided the Hope Center with the ability to achieve impressive results in managing their patient data.
"Verity is honored and humbled by the University of Washington's choice of our TeleForm content capture software for use at the Hope Center and support the battle against AIDS in Kenya," said Anthony J. Bettencourt, Verity's president and chief executive officer.
In little more than a year since its founding, the Hope Center has grown rapidly from caring for a handful of people to enrolling more than 2,000 patients and treating 1,000 HIV-positive individuals with free antiretroviral medications. With patient care comes the need to monitor treatment progress and analyze program targets. In this resource-limited setting, paper forms are necessary to capture the essential data associated with every patient. Verity TeleForm software is used to provide a seamless transition of this large amount of paper-based patient information into electronic form and stored in databases. Ultimately, this database system, with its Verity TeleForm front-end, will be made available to other AIDS treatment programs in similar resource-poor environments.
