Philips has announced the launch of their next-generation Patient Monitoring solution, an enterprise-wide system that consists of bedside, transport, mobile and central station monitoring technology backed by a new approach of consulting, training, service and customer support.
Helping Clinicians Improve Patient Care
When patients are admitted to the hospital, they are frequently transferred between departments, which can make it difficult for clinicians to obtain complete data from monitoring systems that operate independently of one another. Incomplete data not only limits clinicians’ view into the patient’s condition, but can put a patient’s safety at risk. In a recent Philips-sponsored study, results revealed patient safety is still a top concern for physician and nurse leaders in the U.S.
In an effort to alleviate this concern, Philips designed this solution to help clinicians improve patient care, drive clinical performance and assist health systems in lowering costs, by harmonizing monitoring system updates and improved service agreements.
IntelliVue X3 Patient Monitor
The IntelliVue X3 is a highly portable, dual-purpose monitor with intuitive smart-phone-style operation. With this monitor, there is no need for caregivers to change patient cables during transport or at bedside, allowing them to spend less time dealing with equipment and more time caring for the patient. With alarm fatigue a top concern for healthcare professionals, the Patient Monitoring solution also includes IntelliVue bedside monitors with Alarm Advisor, a tool that tracks how clinicians respond to alarms and alerts them when set thresholds may be too sensitive.
EHR-Integrated Patient Monitoring
As a comprehensive system, the Patient Monitoring solution captures a steady stream of detailed patient data from monitors and medical devices, and feeds it securely to the hospital’s EMR for virtually gap-free patient records from admission to discharge, even during transport. The integrated solution fits securely into health systems’ existing IT environment, delivering vital signs, waveforms and alarms directly to caregivers.
By incorporating these clinical decision support tools and advanced algorithms, caregivers have better visibility into a patient’s changing condition. All Philips bedside, transport, and mobile monitors share the same look, feel, and interface for consistency and to reduce complexity, accelerate care, making it easier for clinicians to provide the best quality care throughout patients’ transports around the hospital.
