Interoperability of IntelliSpace Event Management with other Philips informatics and monitoring solutions highlights our organization’s commitment to supporting your critical patient care needs.
Delivering life-critical alerts
IntelliSpace Event Management is the leading Philips interface for monitoring and telemetry interoperability via both proprietary and standard protocols. IntelliSpace Event Management captures and delivers time-sensitive, life-critical alerts such as VTACH or ASYSTOLE, providing them to the assigned caregiver with the ability to escalate to a back-up caregiver and/or care groups. Depending on the output communications system capabilities, Philips interoperability provides close to near real-time delivery.

IntelliVue Patient Monitoring
When it comes to notification of critical alerts, getting notification to the right caregiver at the right time is of the highest priority. More important is that life-threatening alerts like VTACH and Asystole are delivered to the appropriate caregiver for quick response, also allowing for escalation to the back-up individual or care team for a timely response.
The IntelliSpace Event Management interface with IntelliVue Patient Monitoring does just that, providing near real-time notification using our proprietary protocol, so that critical alerts from Monitoring are delivered as assigned.
Getting the Right Message to the Right Caregiver at the Right Time
- Near real-time interface delivers an alert when even a few seconds delay may be unacceptable
- Provides two formats for Caregiver > Bed > Device assignments (where available)
- Designed to enhance both centralized and de-centralized care environments
Alerts/Notification Management
- Broadcast important messages to multiple recipients
- Supervisory alerts to notify system or nursing management of disruptions in operation
- Alert prioritization to pre-empt critical vs. non-critical events
- Auto-cancel feature sends a “cancel” message to other recipients of the same message, based on the action of one recipient
- Filtering capability can help overcome alarm message fatigue
- Logging of alarms and events provides an audit trail and allows troubleshooting to identify areas for care improvement (including response times)
Centralized Staff Assignments with Manual Escalation (i.e., When using Orchestrator Client)
- Ability to manually escalate alerts to alternative caregivers or devices when the primary caregiver is out of range or cannot respond to alert
- Multiple caregivers can receive a single alert
- Critical conditions that need immediate attention can be routed to qualified responders
- Role-associated skill or alert classification settings provide specificity of severity, or class, of an alarm message
Command Center and Whiteboard
- Ability for telemetry technicians to intercept alarms and cancelling of an alert
- Canned or free-text staff messages can be sent to caregivers for a selected bed using Whiteboard
- Configurable Whiteboard auto-refresh function
- Admit, Discharge and Transfer (ADT) data available through Whiteboard
- Color-coded icons identify patient gender

IntelliVue Guardian Solution
The clinical reality in general care units today is higher throughput, sicker patients, and fewer/less well-trained caregivers can make it very difficult to predict which patients to watch more closely. Up to 17% of patients in the medical surgical areas of the hospital will face an unexpected complication. But which of your patients belong to that 17%?
Up to 40% of unexpected deaths in hospitals occur on the general floor. Clinical instability is present and measurable prior to patient decline. In fact, warning signs of physiological decline typically appear six to eight hours prior to an event. If these signs are not recognized and acted upon, further deterioration can occur.
The workflow in general care units involves many manual steps, including collecting vitals and transferring them to the EMR, doing early warning score calculations, or notifying caregivers. This opens up the possibility for infusing errors as part of the workflow.
As a part of IntelliVue Guardian Solution, IntelliSpace Event Management helps simplify that workflow by automating many aspects of it. As an example, IntelliSpace Event Management can help notify the appropriate Rapid Response Team or notify caregivers to trigger the next of the hospital’s protocol (eg: notifying caregiver to take additional measurements like level of consciousness, or putting cableless sensors on for continuous monitoring).
In addition, IntelliSpace Event Management can notify an assigned caregiver or nurse manager if a patient condition is deteriorating with early warning scores - which helps the caregiver pro-actively care for the patient before the condition could possibly worsen to a critical event.

eICU Center
The release of Philips eICU Center eCareManager v3.8 marks the integration with IntelliSpace Event Management, which enhances communication between remote and bedside care teams.
IntelliSpace Event Management delivers alerts and notifications from bedside device alarms to devices or displays in the eICU Center, involving the eICU care team directly with the bedside alarm response.
The remote care team has the ability to have critical communications delivered directly to the caregiver regardless of their location - including SmartAlert prompts, eLerts, and free text messages. It’s not just communicating more, it’s communicating more intelligently by directing clinically relevant, critical information quickly, to the right person.
This interoperability allows IntelliSpace Event Management to help you coordinate care by automatically sending and receiving eCareManager notifications, including:
- Sepsis prompts
- Lab results
- General notifications
- Ad hoc messages
