Monitoring Solutions GE Healthcare
Monitoring Solutions Challenges in healthcare An aging population Sicker, higher-acuity patients Staff overload and fatigue Quality and safety imperatives EMR directives Increasing public transparency Consumer-directed healthcare
Monitoring Solutions Importance of communication & workflow Patient Safety Goal #2 Improve the effectiveness of communication among caregivers Communication is required to enhance patient outcomes. Ineffective communication is the most frequently cited category of root causes of sentinel events.
Monitoring Solutions Importance of communication & workflow The vision of GE Healthcare is to be uniquely positioned to bring together the best in science, technology and business to redefine the frontiers of prediction, diagnosis, treatment, monitoring and information management.
The call is not just for change
but for transformation.
Clinical Information Logistics
Clinical Information Logistics Importance of communication & workflow Clinical Information Logistics is the right information, at the right time, for the right clinician. Jennifer Jackson Assistant Director Biomed Eng. Brigham and Women s Hospital
Clinical Information Logistics Clinical Information Logistics (CIL) is the process of planning, implementing and controlling the effective procurement, flow, storage and distribution of information about patient performance and clinical events from the point of origin to a point of consumption.
Clinical Information Logistics Healthcare communications in action Reliability Information when and where it s needed, to help make better decisions, earlier and faster. Efficient Workflow A suite of technologies that help acquire and deliver clinical intelligence in the most fluent manner possible. Simplicity Easy to learn, easy to configure, easy to manage. Quality of Care Management Reports helps to support JAHCO, HCAHPS, and adverse event reporting needs Scalability and Connectivity VoIP technology and integration-friendly middleware helps to ensure seamless, scaleable implementation
Clinical Information Logistics What I expect from GE is that it will listen to us very carefully so carefully that it can provide us not what we ask for, but rather, what we really need. James Philip, M.E. (E), M.D. Anesthesiologist Brigham and Women s Hospital
