PatientTouch Communications 2.9.31

The PatientTouch® system offers a Mobile Care Orchestration™ solution that streamlines the coordination of people, processes, and data in real time.

By bridging the gap between frontline clinicians, patients, care teams, and existing EHR systems, the PatientTouch system enhances safety, quality, efficiency, and nursing satisfaction while driving cost reductions. Ultimately, this system enables healthcare professionals to dedicate more time to direct patient care.

The PatientTouch platform provides features like Positive Patient Identification (PPID) workflows, clinically contextual communications, and customizable care interventions. It allows users to utilize a single, user-friendly device for various tasks:

• Medication Administration: Ensuring patient safety and adherence to seven essential medication administration rights through PPID barcode scanning integrated with intuitive clinical workflows.
• Specimen Collection: Reinforcing patient identification, care verification, and real-time documentation to enhance safety, accuracy, and efficiency in lab order processing.
• Infant Care: Guaranteeing precise mother-and-baby matching, safety in breast milk feedings, and accuracy in breast milk labeling.
• Care Interventions: Enabling real-time monitoring, collection, and documentation of vital signs, I/O levels, hourly rounds, assessments, and clinical procedures.
• Communications: Supporting care team collaboration with context-rich communications tailored for clinical settings.
• Patient Assignment and Care Planning: Facilitating patient assignment, alert management, and care delivery planning processes.

The PatientTouch system is fully compliant with HIPAA regulations and securely communicates with existing HIS infrastructure via dedicated wireless networks.

To utilize the PatientTouch application, healthcare facilities must acquire proper licensing for the system. It comprises an authorized server that seamlessly integrates with other hospital systems and the PatientTouch electronic mobile medication appliance (eMMA™) handheld device. Developed around the Apple iPod Touch® technology core, the eMMA handheld is purpose-built for clinical environments and aligns with hospital regulations.
