Simplified Patient
Alarm Management

A fluent system of clinical intelligence.

At every step of the care process, decisions are made that

affect patient outcomes. It’s essential that caregivers have

the most current, relevant patient information when and

where they need it. That’s why we’ve made it our mission

to enable Clinical Information Logistics™ – creating a fluent

system of clinical intelligence that delivers the right information

at the right time and place to help you make informed decisions.

Clinical Information Logistics aligns people, processes and

technologies to streamline workflow and bring caregivers

closer to their patients. The GE Healthcare patient monitoring

CARESCAPE™ Network, along with the Ascom Mobile Monitoring

Gateway (MMG), can help you improve patient care.

Add value to
patient monitoring.

One system, countless winners

In the modern hospital environment there is an increasing demand
for improved standards of patient care. This represents a challenge
to administrators and staff, as these improvements must often be
delivered at the same time patient volumes are increasing. Interfacing
patient monitoring with wireless hospital communications simplifies
patient alarm management, and helps to align people, processes and
technologies. Workflows are streamlined to help clinicians ensure
the best possible outcomes. The GE Ascom solution – GE Healthcare’s
patient monitoring CARESCAPE Network with the Ascom Mobile
Monitoring Gateway – represents an excellent solution to help
ensure these benefits can be enjoyed in every hospital.

Leverage existing infrastructure

Hospitals have a significant investment in their IT infrastructure. With
the GE Ascom solution, the hospital can preserve this investment.
By leveraging the existing IT infrastructure to forward secondary
alarms to the people who need them, patient alarm management
is simplified. One common GE infrastructure underlies a full spectrum
of clinical and communication solutions, thereby helping to reduce
training time, improve interoperability, and eliminate the need to
manage multiple systems.

Wireless benefits

Experience tells us that applying wireless communication solutions is
most effective when there is a clear potential to speed up processes,
cut costs and improve patient care. These benefits combine to create
a competitive edge for the hospital. Putting information into the hands
of the caregiver can result in less waiting time, less paperwork, higher
patient satisfaction, better inventory control and lower liability risks.
Wireless solutions help to relieve stress and improve job satisfaction.
