Minimum System Requirements
Centricity Clinical Notification System requires Centricity Critical Care 7.0 or higher. The minimum system
requirements of Centricity Critical Care also apply to Centricity CNS.
Detect early and act promptly
During each care stay, a computerized system can
collect literally thousands of different patient related
data. Finding your way through this huge amount of
information could represent a serious challenge. Until
today.
Centricity Clinical Notification System (CNS) can help
you by continuously searching through the available
patient data and automatically comparing them by
means of user­defined rules. It can help to identify
potentially relevant clinical events and to bring them to
your attention. You can then verify and evaluate them
for their significance and plan for any necessary follow­
up actions.
Centricity CNS allows its users to define simple or more
advanced rules. These rules can utilize any combina­
tion of the comprehensive patient related data that is
constantly collected by Centricity Critical Care, including
observations or medication details. Centricity CNS is
flexible and can produce notifications around clinical
events, but also concerning protocols and data com­
pleteness.
How about asking Centricity CNS to notify you when­
ever an established, user­defined therapeutic goal has
not been reached? And how about being reminded of
an important examination result which is still missing?
