Managing
patient throughput with available resources is much easier
when you know how many patients are present and presenting
from the ED and where your resources are. VISion
allows caregivers to immediately locate mission-critical equipment,
determine bed availability, monitor care progression and passively
register staff and nursing assignments.
The sense of urgency present
in acute care settings oftentimes means that some things are
missed or forgotten…calling the ED to let them know
another bed is available, returning the IV pump to a storage
closet, and letting the appropriate people know when labs
are back are just some examples.
VISion improves communication
and coordination within the unit and beyond by passively collecting
location information. Business rules are then applied to direct
the location information into valuable applications related
to reporting, nurse call, ADT, security, billing and event
monitoring, etc, so that all staff are aware of the current
and next stages of care.
VISion also supplies
important safety features. Reports Plus is particularly important
in acute care settings due to the detrimental nature of infection-causing
pathogens. Reports Plus fosters infection control by identifying
even casual contacts between patients and staff, including
time together. |
