End-to-end cardiac care pathway from hospital to home
Today’s cardiac care requires workflows that support patients from hospital to home, capturing diagnostic information and preserving clinical context. With Philips, health systems can manage cardiac care across settings to support patient safety, operational efficiency and clinical innovation.
Connect cardiac care pathways with diagnostics and monitoring to support clinical insights, workflow continuity and patient flow — between the ED, the home and inpatient care
Cardiac care doesn’t just begin at hospital admission or end at discharge. Organizations partnering with Philips can gain hospital-to-home continuity and connected workflows, bringing together diagnostics, patient monitoring and standardized cardiac care pathways at scale. Throughout the patient journey, accurate clinical measurements, consistent data capture, secure information flow and reliable system integrations drive informatics and analytics platforms. These capabilities create longitudinal patient records, deliver wider data visibility and support ongoing improvement.
Connect cardiac workflows to support patient care, throughput and operational visibility
- Connect cardiac oversight by providing diagnostics at home and the ED and patient monitoring in the hospital
- Address variability by standardizing cardiac workflows around reliable patient data
- Support timely decision-making with diagnostic ECG access, enterprise visibility and longitudinal patient data
- Help manage ED congestion, telemetry overutilization, patient flow and staffing pressures with connected workflows and analytics
- Share secure, actionable patient insights across care teams, locations and information systems
Gain enterprise informatics, interoperable monitoring and connected cardiac workflows
- Link 12-lead ECG in the ED, hospital monitoring and home-based cardiac diagnostics via informatics platforms with key integrations
- Capture high-quality physiologic data using sensors, cables and other tested supplies
- Support workflow continuity with versatile monitoring that stays with patients across the hospital
- Aggregate waveforms, numerics and alarms from bedside devices into cloud-enabled analytics platforms for operational insight
- Help technical teams manage monitoring devices, infrastructure and cybersecurity through an enterprise approach
Support operational visibility, continuity of care and workflow coordination
- Address workflow disruption caused by disconnected systems and fragmented patient data
- Support patient flow by helping clinicians identify appropriate monitoring pathways and care settings
- Promote broader access to cardiac expertise through shared data visibility and remote review capabilities across locations
- Drive operational oversight with visibility into hospital telemetry utilization and patient monitoring alarm activity across the enterprise
- Create a scalable foundation for analytics, AI-enabled workflows and enterprise-wide standardization
Health systems need connected cardiac care models that support data visibility and scalability
- ED crowding, staffing shortages and rising cardiac patient volumes continue to place pressure on health systems.
- Fragmented monitoring systems and disconnected workflows can slow decisions and complicate coordination.
- Clinical leaders need actionable data to address hospital telemetry utilization and operational efficiency.
- Organizations seek scalable platforms that can support AI-enabled solutions, interoperability and cybersecurity.
- Health systems increasingly prefer a partner that can support connected workflows and hospital-to-home care rather than isolated point solutions.

patients whose first
notifiable arrhythmia with MCOT came after day 14
With Philips Mobile Cardiac Telemetry (MCOT), clinicians can send appropriate patients home with diagnostic ECG monitoring. A retrospective study of nearly 69,000 patients showed many arrhythmias would have been missed with shorter-term diagnostic monitoring.[1]

time saved using the IntelliVue X3 monitor in patient transfers
Designed for standalone monitoring or connection with a host monitor, the X3 can stay with patients throughout their hospital journey. In a 2024 study, the X3 displayed vital signs on the bedside monitor two minutes faster than a similar competing device following transfers from the operating room.[2]

vital signs recalled with Visual Patient Avatar vs. conventional monitoring
Visual Patient Avatar (VPA) presents patient status as an animated avatar designed to support situational awareness and cognitive load. During a simulation study, anesthesia clinicians correctly recalled nearly two times as many vital signs with VPA as they did with conventional monitoring.[3]

One connected cardiac patient journey supporting care decisions in the ED, at home and on hospital floors
Patients with potential cardiac issues may move through multiple settings, technologies and teams during a single episode of care. Let’s say a patient arrives in the ED after experiencing syncope. The journey that follows may involve ED and home-based diagnostics and patient monitoring, treatment and recovery in the hospital. Along the way, an end-to-end cardiac solution preserves context, connects workflows and supports next steps. Throughout the journey, bedside device data can be pooled for secure long-term storage, to drive analytics tools now and lay the foundation for AI development.
