Automating the flow of data from networked medical devices is a great start to an enterprise-wide device integration project, but hospitals today are ready for a much bolder initiative: the integration of standalone devices.
Standalone devices, such as ventilators, are not network enabled. In other words, these devices have no way to connect to the hospital network and manufacturer gateways are not an option. Below are three common scenarios detailing how iSirona brings these non-networked devices online.
Mobile Devices with Hardware
Wherever you have devices already connected to existing hardware, such as an anesthesia cart, the iSirona implementation is simple. Our software provides connectivity using any PC platform you choose, including thin client workstations or workstations-on-wheels. Simply download our software and instantly gain the ability to send data to the EMR.
Mobile Devices without Hardware
Not all devices come equipped with the hardware required for connectivity to your EMR. Where this is the case, small fanless PCs provide hospitals with an affordable option. Simply mount the PC on the device, download our software and connectivity is achieved.
PCs in the Room
In some departments, you may already have PCs in patient rooms. In this case, our software simply runs on that PC, which is then connected to one or more devices—those that are permanently in the room and those brought in as needed.
Because iSirona’s software can run on any standard computing platform (that meets minimum requirements), it can be used with your existing equipment.
Single-use hardware mounted in every patient room can provide device connectivity, but it’s costly. And unlike PCs or clinical workstations, it can only do one job.
Purchase hardware that meets your current and long-term IT needs, not piecemeal hardware solutions.
Spend more time with patients, less time documenting
Manage multiple systems from any web-enabled device
iSirona proudly integrates with the following providers:
Not seeing your EMR? No problem. We also integrate with many other vendors, including MEDITECH, HMS and CPSI. Contact us today to learn how quickly our software adapts to any CIS, any EMR.
“We didn’t want to be locked into wall-mounted, wired terminal servers,” says Andy Jenkins, JRMC administrative director of IT. “We couldn’t justify the purchase of a solution that inflexible.”
