Patient Care
Deliver Safe, Dependable and Quality Patient Care
Successful diagnosis and effective patient care rely on the availability and timeliness of consolidated information. In the case of a patient referral, a provider has to review a lot of information. In most scenarios, the information comprises an electronic record, a paper-based record, or both, and is distributed across multiple systems and locations.
For example, patient records should be available on demand and preferably in electronic form. Digital X-rays taken in one location should be accessible in other locations without compromising patient privacy.
Remote Monitoring Improves Care
Remote monitoring services enable clinicians to track the conditions of seriously ill or injured hospital patients, even when located miles away, and to provide care to chronically ill home-based patients sooner.
For example, Sisters of Mercy (the ninth largest U.S. Catholic healthcare system) is providing real-time, remote monitoring services in nine of its largest hospitals. The monitoring allows physicians and others – at the hospital, in their offices, or elsewhere – to remotely track the condition of ICU and emergency room patients. Mercy is also using the remote monitoring to identify early signs of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and congestive heart failure (CHF) among home-based and soon-to-be-discharged patients.
Patient safety, survival rates, and reduction in erroneous outcomes are improved significantly by seamless communication and coordination of patient information, resources and assets between systems and across locations. TIBCO’s real-time platform enables fast, safe, dependable patient care by providing a single view of patient medical records, while streamlining hospital operations and services.
