GE Healthcare GE Ascom Solution - Manual (Page 3)

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.
