DEVICE INTEGRATION
Medical Device Integration
Would your hospital like to automate the collection of patient care device data for transmission to the EMR and eliminate manual data entry by nurses? This is exactly what medical device integration does.
The careTrends™ software platform is a healthcare middleware system solution that leverages existing wireless technologies (Bluetooth and Wi-Fi) to enable the standardization and transfer of patient data. CareTrends healthcare software solutions seamlessly and wirelessly integrate with existing patient monitoring devices and Electronic Medical Records and adapt to existing hospital workflow.
Medical device integration solutions from CareTrends ensure a complete electronic medical record that interfaces with medical devices that capture vital signs, cardiopulmonary, blood pressure, pulse, oxygen saturation, temperature, glucose levels, pain levels, respiration rate, weight, and diagnostic image data.Medical Device Interface Problems Solved
Many devices—such as vital sign monitors, infusion pumps—use vendor-specific protocols, and are not designed to share information; they are proprietary. A clinician may be able to access bedside medical device data, but specialists or nurses elsewhere may have no way of seeing it, unless it is manually recorded in the patient record. Despite efforts to develop standards for these devices, there is no standard format for Point-of-Care device information exchange. We resolve that dilemma with healthcare software solutions with automated patient data capture (like to this area on Meaningful Use) that allows your integration with all medical devices.
Software solutions from CareTrends ensure complete Electronic Medical Record integration with medical devices such as those that capture vital signs, cardiopulmonary, blood pressure, pulse, oxygen saturation, temperature, glucose levels, pain levels, respiration rate, weight, and diagnostic image data.
Benefits
Benefits of Medical Device Connectivity
- Improve hospital workflow.
- Automate data flow and interface it to the Healthcare Information System application.
- Return nurses to the patient bedside, rather than spending time to manually enter patient data such as vital signs data from written on scraps of paper, into the EMR.
- Reduce errors caused by manually entered data, and provide single “source of truth” for patient ID and other key data.
- Increase patient safety at your hospital. Real time patient information allows clinicians to make more-informed decisions about patients.
- Reduce medical errors.
This process also enables healthcare providers to meet reporting requirements for quality measures required for Meaningful Use.
