Published in House and Home on Wednesday, March 4th 2009 at 6:36 GMT, Last Modified on 2009-03-04 06:38:22 by Market WireCHARLOTTE, NC and SCRANTON, PA--(Marketwire - March 4, 2009) - [ Patient Care Technology Systems ] (PCTS), a subsidiary of Consulier Engineering, Inc. (
The [ Amelior EDTracker ] solution is part of PCTS' enterprise visibility suite which comprises departmental to facility-wide software solutions and services designed to more efficiently and safely orchestrate patient care through the real-time visualization of patient flow. Hospitals can scale their implementations by the entities they wish to track (movable medical equipment, patients, staff), purpose (asset management, patient flow, infection control) and by the scope of hospital workflow (emergency department, perioperative department, outpatient services, med/surg, facility-wide).
The web-based Amelior tracking software visualizes workflow by automatically identifying the location of people and equipment and the care progression of patients. Location information is generated by integrating with a facility's choice of real-time locating system (RTLS) including ultrasonic, infrared, radio-frequency, and hybrid technologies. Workflow algorithms within the software interpret the meaning of location, movement and interactions between patients, staff and equipment to alert mobile caregivers to patient care milestones as they occur through patient status and department map view screens. Additional interfaces to ADT, lab and radiology systems create a centralized workflow communication and management portal that eliminates the need for manual updates and delays caused by a lack of information.
At MTH's emergency department, PCTS installed large flat panel monitors to display big-screen views of the main tracking board and waiting room in status screen and map layouts. Icons indicate the status of patients and rooms as well as indicate patient flow roadblocks and patient safety alerts.
"We are very pleased to have implemented the Amelior EDTracker system," said Edward Roman, chief information and privacy officer at Moses Taylor Hospital. "The system has given our caregivers a new level of patient flow management capability through the many ways we can visualize and communicate patient status."
PCTS will be demonstrating the Amelior EDTracker system at the [ ENA Leadership Conference ] in Reno, Nevada on March 6 - 7 in booth #211.
