New Patient Monitor Automates Patient Data Transfer to EMRs

Welch Allyn, a provider medical diagnostic device company, announced it has developed a new patient monitor for physician’s offices that fully automates vital signs capture and wireless data transfer to your EMR. The solutions aligns with the population health management objective to keep a patient population as healthy as possible, reducing the need for more expensive tests, procedures and office visits that add additional costs to the system.  In order to do this effectively, data automation is required to help providers proactively manage preventive and chronic patient care needs across the continuum. 

Welch Allyn Connex® Spot Monitor Overview

The Welch Allyn Connex® Spot Monitor is an easy to use, full-color touchscreen monitor that provides comprehensive and accurate patient documentation using a single device. Combining leading vital signs parameter technologies with the flexibility for use across patient populations spanning neonatal through adult, the Connex Spot Monitor helps improve staff productivity and assure the accuracy of captured vital signs.

Key features includes:

– pulse rate and blood pressure measurement utilizing 15-second SureBP® with blood pressure averaging technology for more accurate hypertension  diagnosis without slowing down workflows;

– pulse oximetry for assessing respiratory conditions such as COPD and asthma via professional-grade options from Masimo, Nonin Medical, and Covidien; and

– fast, accurate thermometry with the SureTemp Plus.

“Every day physicians face new and difficult challenges, but these should not include inaccuracy of patient data, a lack of access to that data, or low efficiency with collecting vitals,” said Garrison Gomez, senior director of Vital Signs and Cardiology, US & Canada, at Welch Allyn. 

To help eliminate errors in patient data entry and simplify connectivity with physician EMR systems, the Welch Allyn Connex Spot Monitor is the first device if its kind to offer wireless connectivity designed specifically for the primary care workflow. Users can easily connect the device to any PC running the practice’s EMR system and transfer vitals directly into the patient’s chart wirelessly without the need to physically connect with any cables—helping to ensure timely, accurate entry of data into the EMR for improved patient safety and decision-making.

“Designed by clinicians for clinicians, the device converges all aspects of vital signs measurement into one system, including patient data capture and now wireless transfer to an EMR. Medical charting and documentation errors are reduced thereby improving clinical decision-making and patient outcomes that can help physicians meet their population health management objectives,” added Gomez.
