The “How”
Next steps

3. Why shall we care?
Pre-hospital Care
Acute Care
Sub-acute Care
Home
•
Access
 Life expectancy  6.7 years over last 31 years, pop growing…more accidents
 15% of pop have asthma, hypertension or diabetes…need hospital follow-up
 Patients forced to wait several hours outside of ER…bed shortages
 100M hospital patients per year are either not monitored at all or patially monitored
•
Quality
 Hospital NOS infections… kill more than car accidents, AIDS and breast cancer combined
 Adverse events occur in 1/3 of all hospitalizations…0.5M preventable deaths per year
 Clinician “alarm fatigue” is a risk to every ICU‟s patient every day…ECRI ≠1 Hazard in „13
•
Cost
 Acute Care: 5% of patients, 50% of care givers…80% of resources
 Pre-hospital/Sub-Acute /Home: 95% of patients, 50% of care givers…20% of resources
Huge opportunities for us to make a difference!

4. What do they need?
Pre-Hosp/ER
• Increasing # of patients
& acuity
• Need faster assessment
for triage
OR/RR
• Need to manage multiple
devices with various UI
• Interoperability of
devices to ensure
integrated patient
information
ICU/CCU
PICU/NICU
• Alarm fatigue for
clinicians and
patients
• Silent ICU concept
becoming the norm
• Pediatric adverse
events much higher
than in adult pop
• Growing demand for
Clinical Decision
Support
Gen Ward
• Patients are
moved to Gen
Wards sooner
• Early patient
mobility
• Staff shortage & lower level of education
• Infections, errors, preventable deaths
• “Data fog”...Too much information
