NantHealth demonstrates new DeviceConX™ features
including enterprise support for larger health systems and high fidelity
waveform capture
BRISBANE, Australia & CULVER CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
NantHealth (NASDAQ: NH), a leader in breakthrough cancer research and
solutions to improve patient care and lower healthcare costs, today
announced a collaboration with B. Braun Australia, GE Healthcare and
iProcedures to demonstrate the exchange of data between devices and
patient electronic medical records (EMRs).
The demonstration is taking place at the HIMSS Asia Pacific Conference,
on November 5-8 in Brisbane, Australia, and illustrates how clinicians
can spend less time on documentation and more time analyzing data in
near real-time to improve patient outcomes. The companies’ connectivity
solutions are featured as part of the HIMSS Interoperability Showcase™.
NantHealth’s Connected Care solutions, including its expanded DeviceConX
functionality, helps ensure critical information is readily available in
EMRs. In a study of more than 500 registered nurses, 60 percent said
medical errors could significantly decrease if hospital medical devices
were coordinated and interoperable(1). Live demonstrations and use cases
showcased how healthcare organizations can overcome this challenge using
real-world examples:
-
GE Healthcare - Throughout a patient’s surgery, an
anesthesiologist is able to leverage advanced clinical tools, note
normal trends and steady vital sign flow from GE Healthcare’s fully
digital Aisys CS2 anesthesia machine, gas module, and Carescape B850
patient monitor;
-
B. Braun Australia – The B. Braun Space Automated Infusion
System is designed to support safe intravenous infusion therapy and
drug administration throughout the hospital. The Infusomat Space
(large volume) and the Perfusor Space (syringe) offers a wide range of
delivery modes making them suitable for use in all care areas,
including, but not limited to Anaesthetics. Both devices are WiFi
capable with bi-directional communication. Infusion and drug delivery
data can be sent to NantHealth’s DeviceConX;
-
NantHealth - DeviceConX can receive live streams of the data
from all capable medical devices, and provide Unit of Measure (UoM)
conversion and data normalization before sending the data to
iProcedures iPro Anesthesia;
-
iProcedures - Using the iPro Anesthesia mobile device, the
anesthesiologist can review and acknowledge before ultimately saving
the information to the patient’s EMR.
“NantHealth is committed to helping healthcare systems overcome
fragmentation in the clinical setting that can lead to time-consuming
and error-prone data collection,” said Wesley Madden BSN, RN,
NantHealth’s VP of Connectivity Sales. “This collaboration with B. Braun
Australia, GE Healthcare and iProcedures is another example of our
continued commitment to making sure healthcare providers have data
readily available and free of transcription errors so they can better
attend to patient needs. This demonstration illustrates successful
interoperability, neutrality, and ease of implementation.”
