Hospital Streamlines ICU Efficiency with Timely Data Integration
MUSE 2015: An Independent User Group Conference for MEDITECH facilities
Case study on EHR - Medical Device Integration
ANDOVER, Mass., May 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- (MUSE Booth # 1510)
What: |
Automating continuous vital sign data into the Electronic Health Record (EHR) is invaluable in any hospital setting, but particularly for the ICU. Though EHRs are now a requirement and mainstream in healthcare, the integration of data directly to and continuously into the EHR is gaining traction in MEDITECH facilities. |
During MUSE 2015 (Medical User Software Exchange), William Holmes, RN, Site Project Manager & Clinical Analyst at McLaren Huron Hospital, Port Huron, Mich., will discuss how they achieved this in their ICU and the resulting benefits during the presentation, "Advanced Medical Device Integration in a Community Hospital: The Mouse that Roared." In just eight weeks, managed by a small in-house team, the hospital integrated critical care patient monitors and ventilators, relying on Capsule's vendor neutral device integration software running on the *SmartLinx Neuron® 2 mobile clinical computer. Device data is now associated by patient based on admission, discharge, transfer (ADT) messages, and then transmitted directly to the EHR, realizing customized patient-device association. |
|
Why: |
Critical patient data must be accurate and received in the EHR and reviewed in a timely manner to drive the best patient care decisions. With data automatically and continuously being entered into the EHR, patient safety is increased; critical care decisions can be made quickly; and nurses are freed from manually transcribing and inputting vital sign and ventilation information and can focus directly on the patient. |
