Informed decision making with critical care solutions
Acute unscheduled care in seven developed nations Philips has sponsored an in-depth assessment of acute unscheduled care, the demands on acute care providers, and use of the emergency department across 7 countries. This research paper explores the similarities and differences in the factors leading to acute unscheduled care demands, care decision making, and care delivery in the ED and beyond.
The increase in patient demand for critical care services, caused by the aging population and advances in medicine that extend life expectancy has put a tremendous strain on critical care¹. Delivering high quality critical care to your patients with limited staff and financial resources demands new approaches and thinking in today's complex healthcare environment. Discover:

Solving real customer problems
Using mobile devices to manage monitoring alarms
With clinical context in their hands, caregivers at Isala Women and Children’s Hospital make informed decisions to respond to an alarm, escalate to a colleague or rule it non-actionable.
Patient monitoring surveillance that brings together intelligent clinical views
See Philips IntelliVue information Center iX (PIIC iX) in action at Banner Health.
Implementing patient-worn monitoring on a WLAN
When University Health System (UHS) added a new million-square foot building to its complex in 2012, its leadership chose a WLAN Infrastructure to support its 325 IntelliVue MX40 patient-worn monitors, as well as its other monitoring and healthcare IT needs.
Saving lives and saving time in Critical Care
From the moment the Philips Sparq touchscreen mobile ultrasound system was delivered to the critical care team at The John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, the system made a huge impact on the service clinicians were able to deliver.
Managing sheer volume of patient data
This video demonstrates how Philips’ clinical decision support tool, Horizon Trends, can help ICU clinicians identify trends in the patient’s condition over time and any deviations in measurements.

Philips rehabilitates the ICU department at Machakos Hospital
In May 2015, Philips unveiled an entirely refurbished Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in the Hospital (Machakos County) Kenya. This is the first of eleven ICU departments in hospitals across the country that Philips is transforming as part of a tender contract awarded to Philips by the Central Government of Kenya to support healthcare revitalization across the country.

Helping you stop healthcare-associated infections
Our first system to combine live clinical information with genetic fingerprinting of bacterial pathogens, Philips IntelliSpace Epidemiology supports efforts to contain and eliminate healthcare-associated infections (HAI). Clinical informatics (such as patient location, movement through the hospital, caregivers, exposure to devices, etc.) and pathogen genome analysis combine in a powerful tool with an easy-to-read interface and partially automated workflow to enhance the effectiveness of infection control and prevention professionals. Advanced algorithms find and highlight possible infection clusters, organizing and transforming your infection control workflow by putting actionable data you need to assess HAIs at your fingertips. We call this powerful synergy of clinical informatics and genetic analysis “Precision Infection Prevention.”*
*With the phrase “Precision Infection Prevention” Philips is referring to our support of the industry’s transition from discussing prevention control to infection prevention. IntelliSpace Epidemiology is not intended to prevent infections, but to support
