Patient Care Technology Systems Announces New Release of Emergency Department Information System
Posted on: Monday, 5 December 2005, 09:01 CST
Patient Care Technology Systems (PCTS), a provider of advanced clinical information systems for high acuity departments, today announced details of their emergency department information system, Amelior ED(TM) 2.0. PCTS will be demonstrating their latest software at the National Symposium on Emergency Department Information Systems in Scottsdale, Arizona on December 5-7 in exhibit #32.
The new release will integrate the functions of the company's two primary software systems; Amelior EDTracker(TM), a passive-based patient and asset tracking solution and Amelior ED, an information management system featuring computer-based nurse and physician charting, order management and clinical decision support for documenting the care of emergency department patients. Combining the functionalities of both systems in Amelior ED 2.0 provides emergency departments the ability to incorporate real-time patient and asset movement data as they document and manage patient care. The integration of the systems also provides extensive reporting capabilities to analyze patient flow.
The passive tracking software minimizes data entry by hospital staff by automatically tracking the movement of patients and mobile medical equipment using wireless badges worn by patients and staff and sensors placed throughout the department. Locating technologies such as infrared, active RFID, and ultra wideband are utilized. The software integrates rules-based intelligence to communicate and time-stamp key patient milestones such as caregiver interactions and order status and presents this information on electronic spreadsheet and customized map views of the department.
"Our customers have seen their ability to manage patient flow increase significantly with passive tracking," said Tony Marsico, CEO of PCTS. "It gives them a real-time ability to manage resources with extensive data collection for department utilization analysis. Soon customers can leverage this data within a single system for tracking, documenting and managing patient care. Emergency departments will continue to have the option to introduce passive tracking initially and add clinical charting and patient disposition management incrementally working within a single solution."
