KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 24 (Bernama) -- Ascom Holding AG announced a new North American integrated clinical alarm management solution with Dräger to integrate its Unite Connect for clinical systems software with Dräger Infinity patient monitoring systems.
President Ascom North America, Rob Goldman said the collaboration can help hospitals supplement and enhance their alarm management solutions. The Unite Connect helps mobile caregivers avoid unnecessary work interruptions, limiting their exposure to low-priority, routine alerts and helping reduce caregiver alarm fatigue.
“Effective clinical alarm management continues to be a high focus for health systems and hospitals. As the use of mobile technologies expands in healthcare, so does the opportunity to extend alarm management to mobile caregivers,” said senior vice-president of Sales for Dräger Inc, Steve Menet.
The joint clinical alarm management solution extends the reach of patient alarms generated by Dräger’s patient monitoring system to mobile caregivers. The alert message provides critical data and related contextual information right to the caregiver’s mobile device.
The mobile delivery of waveform images adds a contextual dimension by helping increase awareness of the patient’s condition and helping nurses distinguish between artifacts, false alarms and real alarms whereby patients benefit from quicker response times to events.
Already used at European hospitals in France, Belgium and Norway, Ascom’s Unite Connect for clinical systems is a software application utilising customisable alarm filters to help minimise non-actionable alerts which can cause workflow bottlenecks, a statement said.
Nurses are able to focus more effectively on patient care rather than responding to alerts that do not require action. These alert notification messages are intended as a secondary notification system to inform caregivers of patient events captured by these clinical systems.
Ascom is a global solutions provider focused on healthcare ICT and mobile workflow solutions while Dräger is a global producer of medical and safety technology. More details at https://www.ascom.com or https://www.draeger.com.
