Reduce administrative burden through automated wavestrip workflows

Bottlenecks at the central station are commonplace where, once printed, exporting of patient waveforms into hospital’s EMR happen regularly, at end of day or at shift change causing further frustration and introducing the possibility of issues related to policy adherence and charting accuracy.

 As mobile browsers and devices continue to positively impact hospital workflows everywhere, documentation solutions have been slow to integrate these devices. Clinicians want data and documentation workflows to happen wherever they may be and not have to make unnecessary trips to the nurse’s station.

Philips continues to innovate in these areas specifically around solving for frustrating manual, paper-based workflows that continue to weigh on stretched clinical staff. The wavestrip export feature has long helped clinicians automate the labor intensive tasks of printing, cutting, pasting and scanning wavestrips and in PIC iX 4.0 we continue to evolve to meet customer needs.

Clinicians can potentially spend less time charting and more time delivering care with digital tools that deliver the right strip directly in the patient’s chart. And we continue to hear from customers who have adopted and standardized with Philips the impact this solution has for them.
