HealthCast™ Vital Sync™ remote patient monitoring

HealthCast™ Vital Sync™ remote patient monitoring provides access to patient data anywhere in the hospital, helping improve workflow and patient safety.

Description

Know who needs you. Right now.

You can’t be everywhere at once, but you can get the actionable data you need to monitor at-risk patients during your busy day. HealthCast™ Vital Sync™ remote patient monitoring offers continuous monitoring of at-risk patients no matter where you are in the hospital — making the most of your time while giving you peace of mind. Get continuous, reliable patient monitoring that's seamlessly compatible with your existing monitoring devices.

Features

Easily stay in the know

Keep up with every patient’s condition using near real-time trend and alert data. Available on any web-enabled device or the HealthCast™ Vital Sync™ app.

We take care of the connectivity so you can take care of patients.

  • Remotely monitors patient’s SpO2, respiratory rate, pulse rate, EtCO2, vital signs, and ventilator data
  • Balances patient acuity and clinical resources by enabling respiratory surveillance wherever you are
  • Enables clinicians to easily admit and discharge patients from the HealthCast™ Vital Sync™ platform or mobile app
  • Integrates with existing EMR, Active Directory, and alarm annunciation systems

Spot-checking is not enough

HealthCast™ Vital Sync™ remote patient monitoring provides near real-time trend and alert data, integrates physiological information from your devices, and transmits it to your hospital information systems using the HealthCast™ Vital Sync™ platform and the HealthCast™ Vital Sync™ mobile app.

That’s more than just spot checking

The intermittent manual collection of vital sign measurements alone are no longer sufficient in promoting patient outcomes in medical-surgical units.

  • Spot-checking leaves monitoring gaps: Collecting vitals manually can leave patients unmonitored 96% of the time, making it harder to react quickly when patients need help.2
  • Spot-checking compromises patient safety: Intermittent spot-checking can be insufficient for many patients at high risk of adverse events. Better patient monitoring and response can prevent 97% of respiratory depression closed claims.3

Streamline ventilator protocol and reporting adherence with one app.

With HealthCast™ Vital Sync™ remote patient monitoring, the Ventilator Dashboard (VDB) app lets you access nearly real-time data on a patient’s ventilation status and eliminates manual entries.

  • Use automated protocol compliance based on ARDSNet and VAE protocols to make it easier for respiratory therapists to manage the lung health of ventilated patients.
  • Personalize patient care by leveraging insights surfaced by the Ventilator Dashboard to tailor ventilator settings for improved care and protocol compliance.
  • Monitor patient ventilation status early to potentially prevent ventilator-associated events.
  • Expedite data retrieval and analysis with many reports, from time on ventilator and patient details to ventilation protocol compliance and ventilation summary.
  • Establish customized parameter thresholds and notifications for individual patients or all patients under your care with insights gathered by the Ventilator Dashboard.

For patient vitals that are always on hand

You and your team deserve the support of continuous monitoring that helps you make confident clinical decisions for your patients:4

  • Improve patient safety: With timely access to accurate patient data from anywhere,5 patient deterioration will not go unnoticed — even with staff limitations, bedside monitoring inefficiencies, or an influx of sicker patients. Continuous patient monitoring can help save 200,000 lives per year.†,6
  • Empower clinicians: Enable clinicians to streamline patient management, increase efficiency, and improve outcomes while reducing workload and the likelihood of burnout.7,8
  • Manage resources: Hospitals can save $19,940 per bed every year by implementing continuous monitoring3 and optimizing workflows, including reducing reliance on manual charting.

Vital Sync™ upgrade additions

Vital Sync™ 4.0 has expanded features that can help prevent patients from falling through the cracks.

Innovative compatibility with the BioButton®* multi-parameter wearable provides personalized patient trend monitoring to help fill the gaps.

  • The BioButton®* can send notifications about early signs of patient deterioration to Vital Sync™ on average of 14 hours prior to the deterioration event.9
  • The BioButton®*multiparameter wearable tracks trends of non-critical care patients using the best early indicators of patient decline in the hospital – resting respiratory rate, resting heart rate, and skin temperature.
  • Clinicians can now access personalized patient trending notifications from the BioButton®* multiparameter wearable and near real-time patient data from Medtronic™ monitors within one platform – the HealthCast™ Vital Sync™ virtual patient monitoring platform.

Vital Sync™ 4.0 has expanded functionality to enhance the care of ventilated patients.

With the Ventilation Dashboard application, clinicians can access a suite of features designed specifically to support and enhance the care of ventilated patients.

  • Ventilation Dashboard provides automated surveillance and reporting to help reduce workloads and help ensure potential issues are identified early and addressed promptly.10
  • Ventilation Dashboard provides enhanced workflow efficiency by automating routine tasks11 and providing near real-time data to enable clinicians to focus more on patient care and less on paperwork.
  • Ventilation Dashboard is designed to help improve patient outcomes, with tools designed to support protocol adherence and support the reduction of VAEs.12
