HP Extends Relationship with Motion Picture & Television Fund to Enhance Healthcare Services for Entertainment Industry

"HP is a leader in the technology field by delivering truly creative solutions ahead of the curve, and its willingness to give back to the entertainment community by participating so actively in the MPTF is one more way in which the company distinguishes itself," said Jeffrey Katzenberg, chairman, MPTF Foundation, and principal partner, DreamWorks SKG.

"As we deliver world-class solutions for a broad range of businesses in entertainment, our partnership with MPTF allows us to extend the same innovation and dedication to the individuals who have made and are continuing to make the industry what it is today," said Carly Fiorina, HP chairman and chief executive officer. "HP will continue to look for opportunities to support the spirit of innovation where it lives, and the MPTF services are a wonderful example of that spirit."

To enhance the speed and quality of healthcare services, HP has rolled out a comprehensive mobility solution for MPTF's five medical facilities in Southern California, building on a technology initiative that began a year ago. The HP mobility technology environment gives MPTF care providers instant access to accurate information throughout its five medical campuses, as well as in patient rooms. The comprehensive solution provides physicians and healthcare professionals at the MPTF with the information when they need it and where they need it, thereby enhancing the quality of MPTF healthcare services to thousands of patients each year.

More than 80 HP Tablet PCs and a supporting wireless infrastructure now connect doctors and other MPTF healthcare professionals to critical information, including patient history, out-patient information, and billing and account information. When fully implemented, patients can visit any of the five locations and their records are immediately available. Some 40 physicians can retrieve patient records to decipher lab results, X-rays, and other important clinical information in an electronic format, facilitating faster and more reliable transfer of patient information and communication between the doctor and patient, as well as standardizing medical and administrative processes.

To connect celebrities of today and yesterday, HP will again this year provide Tablet PCs for the "Second Annual Night Before," a star-studded pre-Academy Awards event benefiting the MPTF, on Saturday, Feb. 28. HP technology will connect generations of the entertainment family, enabling guests at the benefit to send personalized e-mail and digital images to the motion picture and television industry members of yesteryear who reside at the MPTF hospital and retirement communities. Residents view e-mails at their annual Oscar® get-together on Sunday.

To promote seniors using technology to stay in touch with loved ones, HP also has continued technology and service donations to each of the retirement communities and hospital on MPTF's Wasserman Campus in Woodland Hills, Calif. The HP-based equipment includes desktop PCs, monitors and printers and is available to all residents, enabling industry retirees to connect with friends and family through products that people of all ages can use easily. HP has previously donated HP Pavilion desktop PCs and other technology to the MPTF campus, supporting efforts to connect people of all ages together with technology.

HP technology continues to extend the boundaries of creativity to play a critical role in filmmaking, visual effects and rich digital media. From technology infrastructure to digital imaging and editing and consumer devices, HP's world-class technology promotes invention. As a leader in both IT for businesses, through its Adaptive Enterprise strategy, and consumer products, HP is in a unique position to help entertainment companies and consumers harness the "power of digital" to securely manage the flow of content from creation to consumption.
