All Your Medical Devices, One Holistic System
Clinicians often spend hours out of their day simply transcribing and entering data into an electronic medical record (EMR)—and that time takes away from patient care. Manual data entry is cumbersome, and when things are moving fast, it’s easy to misplace or misreport information. And even if the data is entered correctly, it may become outdated by the time it’s added to the patient’s record.
To manage your patient data, you need something more agile than costly, hard-to-configure hardware, and something more sustainable than purchasing all-new networked devices. Connected Care is an end-to-end solution that captures a snapshot of patient health across all settings where care is provided. Vendor-agnostic and software-based, Connected Care helps create synergy among devices. Clinicians can capture and store data transparently, save valuable time that’s typically spent doing burdensome tasks—and provide efficient health care.
75% of nurses believe coordinating medical device info is burdensome. But with a seamless, automated workflow that pulls data from the devices most relevant to patient needs, clinicians are uninhibited as they provide care.1
Capture an Evolving Snapshot of Patient Health
Connected Care Meets Your Devices Where They Are
The right technology makes it easier for you to provide a high standard of care. Connected Care integrates seamlessly with what you’re already doing to help speed up data capture, improve rounding and assessment workflows, save costs, and increase clinician productivity and satisfaction.
- Our technology works with yours. Our software connects virtually any data-generating medical device to most EMRs and data repositories.
- Up-to-date data improves patient care. Automation ensures patient information is up-to-date and accurate at all times—and prevents stale or error-laden data from influencing treatment decisions.
- Meet the needs of your workflow. Connected Care is agile, offering options that support high-acuity and low-acuity settings. Data can be filtered through custom parameters to show only what matters most in a given environment.
- Clinician support when you need it most. Connected Care helps save clinician time on manual tasks—leading to greater productivity and job satisfaction long term.
Connected Care for Hospitals and Health Systems
Hospitals and health systems handle a high volume of patients in high- and low-acuity situations, so it’s crucial that patient information is clear, accurate, and readily available. Small inefficiencies add up in costs and time—for clinicians, the health system, and patients. Connected Care helps hospitals and health systems collect and filter exactly the metrics they need, accelerate the rounding workflow, and more easily access and assess a complete snapshot of any individual patient’s health.
Connected Care for Practices and Medical Groups
For many practices and medical groups, care may not be provided in one centralized place, but they still require centralized data and access to patient information. Connected Care can provide the access clinicians need as they move from patient to patient, empower informed treatment decisions, and smooth out the workflow across an entire continuum of care, from the home, to an office, to the hospital.
Connected Care for Medical Device Manufacturers
It can take many years to create a fully integrated system from the ground up—one that lets clinicians filter and funnel data from devices into a single EMR or repository. But with Connected Care, you can develop a driver with us that will enable your medical device(s) to integrate with the most popular EMRs out of the box. Your device can get to market faster and you won’t have to build or manage the device integration platform. Powered by Connected Care, your networked and non-networked medical devices can talk to EMRs used by leading healthcare organizations—making their decision to select your devices that much easier.
Connected Care DCX
DCX software enables virtually any data-generating medical device to collect, route, filter, and store data in your EMR or other repository, eliminating manual transcription errors and delays while saving valuable clinician time.
Connected Care VCX
The VCX tablet app enables clinicians to access a snapshot of each patient’s vitals at the point of care. The easy-to-use interface travels room to room for rounding, with information retrieved in just one tap.
Connected Care Sentry and Shuttle
Sometimes the right hardware is unavailable. The Sentry and Shuttle cable are flexible, compact accessories that fit into your care environment and enable connectivity of multiple devices from different manufacturers—or pair your mobile tablet with our VCX app.
