Is your patient monitoring system keeping up with your acute care needs and concerns?

Question one image

Do you worry about a cyberattack compromising your patient monitoring system and putting patients at risk?

You’re not alone. Health data breaches and malicious online attacks like ransomware are two of the biggest worries for health systems and put patient lives at risk.1,2 Healthcare teams want to stay informed of at-risk patients and feel confident that they can access patient data and insights from any device and any location without compromising security.

 

Building and maintaining secure systems is a never-ending challenge, and you need a partner who can help you prepare for the future today. Cybersecurity assessments and scalable service updates that enhance security while helping to optimize patient care are just two of the ways Philips can help.

Question three image

With the influx of patient data from so many sources, are you ever concerned that alerts and insights about patients could be missed?

Healthcare teams often describe the stress of processing vast amounts of patient data without the full benefit of clear, actionable insights. Gaps or silos in patient data are also a serious concern, especially when patients move between care settings.

 

You may be looking for ways your healthcare teams can access more actionable insights about patient data while enabling data to securely flow throughout the care continuum. There are innovative solutions that may help. For example, at Philips, we recently united our patient management expertise with the medical device integration capabilities of Capsule, a Philips company (formerly Capsule Technologies).

Though you are not currently concerned, there may be a time when interoperability could pose a challenge for you, as it does for many healthcare teams.

 

Did you know:

 

✤   About 72% of physicians feel they lack information about their patients.1

✤   With US hospitals averaging 10 to 15 connected medical devices per bed, consolidating disparate data is a challenge.2

✤   80% of serious medical errors involve miscommunication among care teams during patient transfers.3
