MVcentral – Centralized Surveillance for Tele-intensivist Patient Monitoring
Rising costs and complexity of critical care have led to dramatic efforts to enforce quality guidelines by payers, employers, and consumer groups. The Leapfrog Group recommends full-time, dedicated intensivist care in the ICU as a means to improve outcomes and save lives. However, such clinical specialists are scarce and costly.
Now, with MVcentral, hospitals can better utilize clinical resources to provide 24/7 intensivist coverage in their ICUs while maintaining current staffing levels. This innovative command center leverages iMDsoft's robust clinical information system to cost effectively improve care quality and patient safety by enabling "tele-intensivists" to monitor ICU patients in multiple remote locations and access all their data from a single central location.
The unique strength of iMDsoft's solution is the fact that MVcentral offers clinicians immediate access to complete and up-to-date patient information, thereby promoting informed decision-making. The system's smart notifications ensure timely interventions, while rule-based event prioritization means that the highest level of attention is paid to those patients who are most in need. Additional features include powerful archiving, querying, and analysis options.
Care team communications can be further enhanced with the addition of a two-way audio-visual channel.
