In a modern ICU alone, it’s estimated that tens of thousands of data points are generated from a single patient each day, for ventilators, IV pumps, and other medical devices. This information must travel from the device to the patient’s electronic health record (EHR), and the quality of the connections that transfer this data is critical. While essential, these connections are often complex and can vary in reliability. The real challenge in healthcare technology isn’t a lack of data; it’s a lack of reliable data in the EHR.
These complex interfaces present challenges that require careful management. The solution requires a practical, clinically led approach to ensure the data clinicians rely on is accurate and complete. For more, please go to MedCityNews
