Radical changes in healthcare, like an aging population and increasingly complex conditions, require a fresh approach to meeting the demands of all types of illness.
Philips offers more choice in monitoring than ever before. Our integrated customizable General Care solution of monitoring devices and software include automated and configurable features to help clinicians quickly identify subtle signs of patient deterioration. Additionally, our professional and support services are there every step of the way to help with education and implementation.
By moving away from proprietary standards and closed systems to providing an open patient monitoring infrastructure, we’re helping create an end-to-end treatment pathway so you can be there when patients need you most.
Philips EarlyVue VS30 vital signs monitor unleashes the power of automated Early Warning Scoring (EWS) to help you quickly pinpoint subtle signs of patient deterioration, and confidently deliver proactive care. Early detection, intelligent intervention.
PIC iX enables patient data to flow throughout low-, mid-, high and specialty acuity settings by bringing in data from Philips and non-Philips devices across these settings. You can streamline workflows by helping clinicians to detect and respond to patient changes wherever they are in the hospital and protecting the security of patient data via stringent medical industry standards. When used with VS30, PIC iX provides a central view of vital sign records, instead of central alarming.
The Care Assist app in combination with VS30 provides clinicians with some of the central station capabilities like allowing caregivers to see streaming data and act on it and the capability to admit and discharge patients via mobile device.
Philips IntelliBridge Enterprise provides a single, standards-based point of interoperability between your Philips clinical systems and your enterprise information systems.
Being able to quickly recognize and react to the early deterioration signs of a patient’s condition is a must for any clinician working in general care. Philips General Care solution alerts nurses to deteriorating patients which allows them to quickly respond to adverse events. All patient vital signs are automatically captured in one place to provide Early Warning Scores (EWS) and are being monitored at the central station. With EWS, clinicians can identify and verify trends and significant deviations in vital signs, allowing them to know immediately when a patient may be at risk of decline.
With our customizable General Care solution, accessing data is quick and simple. Additionally, patient data automatically flows continuously through the hospital’s EMR system to the bedside monitors and central station. It is possible to identify and admit patients to the monitor with no manual entry efforts or delays. Vitals can be automatically collected so nurses can easily capture and send observations directly to the EMR, minimizing manual transcriptions and long delays in between reading and reviewing. Detailed care reports are also easily produced to support handovers.
Resource constraints have triggered early discharge initiatives aimed at reducing hospital readmissions1, but implementation can be difficult, especially when devices fail to talk to each other. With our suite of General Care solutions, data flows effortlessly through our open ecosystem infrastructure; between sensors and hospital systems into our world-class PIC iX platform, creating a unified patient view and a comprehensive end-to-end treatment pathway – even beyond the hospital walls. This gives clinicians the opportunity to receive actionable and timely information about a patient before, during and after hospitalization.
It can be challenging to deploy tools and processes across an organization. Philips services can help your team learn about and implement these tools and processes and build a strategy that takes you to the next level of patient care. Our services go beyond technology training to fully support the people responsible for addressing serious adverse events. Experienced clinical specialists help you acquire, develop and improve your expertise and navigate significant change for long term success. Our scalable services are designed to support you in reaching your goals, no matter how complex your organization, and no matter what your starting point.
With VS30 RRp, you can now automatically display a comprehensive respiration rate seamlessly within your existing workflow and RRp is automatically derived from the SpO2 pleth. This is designed to avoid errors related to manually taking respiration rate.
When used with the VS30, the Care Assist app provides clinicians with some of the central station capabilities, like live streaming data on their mobile device. Automatic monitoring of vital signs can quickly help identify signs of deterioration with the use of trusted algorithms and advanced analytics. The app works with Philips and non-Philips devices, providing remote access to the most up-to-date patient information. In addition, our clinical-grade, third-party wearable biosensors offer continuity of patient data outside the hospital walls, allowing for a for a cohesive and seamless patient view.
Put the flow in workflow. The EarlyVue VS30 vital signs monitor can be tailored to your hospital, your protocols and the way you work. Document full patient assessments with up to 35 customizable fields using QuickCapture. Automate EWS calculations to accelerate care with QuickAlerts. And simplify data flow to and from your hospital systems with the QuickCheck feature.
