Device Interfacing

Integrating information from bedside devices for a complete patient record

Patient information comes from all over, and in all kinds of formats. A typical ICU patient may be hooked up to six or more bedside devices—different kinds from different vendors running different software. To make the best-informed decisions, you need to see all that information clearly, and in one place.

IntelliVue Clinical Information Portfolio not only integrates data from hospital information systems and patient monitors. It’s also compatible with a host of third-party devices, including monitors, ventilators, anesthesia machines, infusion pumps, balloon pumps, pulse oximeters, and urimeters.

With ICIP’s device interfacing capabilities, patient records are automatically populated with data from all these sources. And comprehensive patient records are just one benefit. Device interfacing makes sure that clinical decision support tools built in to ICIP can make pertinent information clearer, no matter where it comes from.

Philips has device connectivity solutions designed to meet your data needs:

• VueLink: integrates real-time information from an array of bedside devices with patient monitoring data.
• Device Link II: interfaces between bedside devices and the network, providing ICIP or other clinical information systems with patient information in HL7 format.
