Features
Vitals on Demand
Vitals on Demand provides access to near-real-
time numeric data on the patient monitor at the
time of request. It allows clinicians fast access
to their patients’ status without having to be at
the bedside.
High-Speed Data Interface
The CARESCAPE Gateway allows users to connect
to a near-real-time data stream, providing access
to waveforms and numerics from each patient
monitor on the CARESCAPE Network in a safe
and effective manner.
Extensive device capacity
The CARESCAPE Gateway allows connectivity
to up to 512 patient monitoring devices.
System integration
The CARESCAPE Gateway supports CARESCAPE
monitors as well as legacy Datex-Ohmeda and
Marquette* patient monitors to provide access
to patient data in both HL7 and high-speed
data formats.
Assisted remote service monitoring
The CARESCAPE Gateway includes InSite*
ExC technology that allows GE Healthcare’s
trained personnel to assist you remotely in
diagnosing and repairing your product.
Secured platform
The CARESCAPE Gateway uses a hardened
Linux
®
operating system to mitigate the threat
of viruses and other malware from being
transmitted to the hospital’s network and
patient monitoring devices.
Enables electronic charting and ADT
The CARESCAPE Gateway, using industry standard
protocols, connects and maps to Hospital Information
Systems (HIS) and Clinical Information Systems
(CIS) including both HL7-compliant and proprietary
systems. It provides Cloverleaf
®
, an integrated
interface engine from Lawson Software, a leader
in hospital system connectivity.
Time sync
The CARESCAPE Gateway can sync to a hospital NTP
time source to provide synchronized time across
the patient monitoring devices on the CARESCAPE
Network. In addition, the CARESCAPE Gateway can
automatically configure the system to adjust to
daylight saving time. Furthermore, the CARESCAPE
Gateway provides an NTP time service, which the
CARESCAPE iCentral* can use to synchronize time.
Data integrity
Data integrity is supported with an eight-hour
store-and-forward feature if connectivity is
interrupted during patient transports or CIS
upgrades and outages.
Moving beyond HL7 data integration,
the CARESCAPE Gateway provides safe
access to a rich feed of near-real-time
patient data, helping give hospitals,
physicians, clinical researchers and
clinicians the opportunity
to improve patient care.
