As the application of medical devices grows, healthcare providers look for connectivity and IT solutions to help them aggregate and utilize data efficiently to enhance clinical workflows and patient care.
Device connectivity with the EHR and other downstream systems is only getting started. Devoting hospital resources to broaden the scope of medical device integration is well worth the investment.
An ongoing study shows that combination smart alerts derived from medical device data can help to identify clinically actionable events.
Reporting and Analytics transforms medical device data into contextualized information that supports patient assessment and the proactive delivery of care.
Research indicates that “more than 80% of medical information remains unstructured and hard to process”. With access to a wide range of archived and new information using dedicated reporting and analytics tools, clinicians can have a more complete view of a patient’s condition which supports the efficient delivery and planning of care.
Contextualized surveillance smart alerts support patient safety and clinician satisfaction by helping identify emergent clinically actionable events and reducing alarm fatigue.
