CareFusion also announced that David Schlotterbeck, chair and CEO, will retire on Feb. 28, 2011.

Medication, blood bank and home health infusion management software vendor Mediware Information Systems Inc. saw big financial gains during the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Net income compared with the same period last year increased 70 percent to $1.1 million, as revenue rose 17 percent to $12.5 million. Acquisitions last December that expanded Mediware's home health business line contributed to improved performance, but the company declined to be more specific.
