Automating Documentation:
Getting Back to the Bedside
Direct care improves patient outcomes. But too often clinicians spend more time transcribing and entering data than they do caring for patients. When device data collection is automated, documentation time decreases, giving clinicians more time for their specialty: direct patient care.
Device connectivity is less error-prone than manual transcription. Automation quickly funnels patient data to the EMR, giving clinicians enterprise-wide access to up-to-date information about their patients. This, in turn, allows them to make more informed patient care decisions.
What Should Clinicians Know about iSirona?
No New Software to Learn
Because the iSirona solution is software-based, it embeds within your EMR, which is already a familiar workflow.
Little (to No) Training Required
Clinicians report that the software is highly intuitive and easy to use. Training can literally be completed in just minutes.
Safe Patient-to-Device Associations
Relate patients—not bed numbers—to their respective device data manually, via bar code or RFID. Wireless device integration solutions keep data with patients, even if they are relocated.
Device Alarms with Context
Receive device-generated alarm notifications with a clinically meaningful description via any nurse call system or alarm extension method, such as email and smart phones.
A Matter of Workflow
A lot changes when hospitals automate medical device data flows, as this brief before-and-after video demonstrates.
What You Should (and Shouldn’t)
Pay Nurses to Do
One study found that nurses spent 81 minutes per shift on patient care and 148 minutes per shift—nearly twice as much time—on documentation. Read more >
Our clinicians needed almost no training. The system is very intuitive, and our staff couldn’t be more pleased.
