Patient Monitoring Alarm Notification

The ability of patient monitoring systems such as pulse oximeters and ventilators to provide real-time notifications of a change in condition is invaluable. These patient monitoring systems check physiological conditions and are linked to a patient via a hard wire or wireless telemetry, depending on the patient's mobility.

Getting notifications to medical staff who can take fast action not only increases patient safety, but can also saves lives.

Fast Response to Critical Alerts

Amcom solutions enhance the value of patient monitoring by sending system-generated alarm notifications directly to mobile nurses to ensure critical patient conditions are triaged in real time and responded to in an effective manner. The integrated alarm management middleware integrates a variety of patient monitoring systems with your staff's wireless telephones, Vocera badges, and/or pagers to improve response times and care.

These solutions provide alert notification to nursing staff in less than two seconds. This ensures faster responses to life-threatening situations while improving patient health and satisfaction.

In the age of increased communication for busy staff on the move, this integration enhances the patient's experience by providing the mobile staff member descriptive information in real time—not simply a series of beeps. Clinicians can better meet the increasing demands of their patients, from non-critical advisory notifications to mission-critical alarms and events.

Creating An Automatic Audit Trail

The integrated alarm management middleware solutions deliver an audit trail of events and how they were handled. This includes time/date stamps as well as recipients and responses to help you evaluate your processes and performance.

Increasing Patient Satisfaction

Also the quality of care is increased by alerting nurses within seconds of a patient emergency; thereby keeping sentinel events to a minimum. Better health care in the hospital means a happier, healthier patient at discharge.

Improving the communication of and response to critical patient monitoring alerts is just one of the ways Amcom Software can help your facility improve patient care and satisfaction through the right communication solutions.
