Our
software system provides client hospitals with an all-digital
clinical environment in which electronic documentation
is imbedded into the work flow of all caregivers and allows
caregivers to receive real-time electronic prompts at
the bedside.
Our software is designed on an
internet-based, thin client platform using Microsoft.NET
ASP technology.
This permits hospital clients to deploy it with minimal
capital investment in hardware and without first having
in place large numbers of IT personnel. Caregivers
input data at the bedside using laptop computers or personal
digital
assistants (PDA’s) at the discretion of the client
hospital.
The software includes all systems
necessary to automate the entire spectrum of hospital
clinical activities:
physician order entry, bar-coded bedside medication error
prevention, vital signs tracking, physician and nurse
bedside documentation, results reporting of diagnostic
testing, document imaging, electronic medical records,
clinical decision prompts and alerts, medical staff administration,
risk management, utilization review, case management,
utilization review, discharge planning, JCAHO reporting
and compliance, infection control, operating room management,
respiratory care, social work and physical therapy.
The software creates a patient-specific
electronic medical record by computerizing every
test, intervention, and treatment received by a hospitalized
patient from each and every caregiver with whom the patient
comes in contact.
An electronic rules engine continuously monitors the resultant
database and issues real-time alerts at the bedside to
insure that care is delivered according to commonly accepted
medical standards and that preventable patient injury
is avoided.
Our system is designed differently
from those currently on the market. Competing systems
are largely “list
and display” in design. They collect data and passively
display information to caregivers, leaving it to the caregivers
to connect the various dots. Unfortunately, this strategy
does nothing to remedy what causes most hospital errors
in
the first place. Things can continue to fall between the
cracks left by busy and overworked healthcare personnel.
Our
system is built around an interactive intelligence which
is designed to electronically monitor and intervene in
the processes of care and to pass prompts and alerts which
are not addressed on a timely basis up the management
chain of command in real-time. |
