Data Critical

Data Critical, a leader in wireless healthcare communications, provides solutions that fill a gap in traditional manual processes by putting critical healthcare data directly into the hands of nurses and physicians who can act on it. Using wireless technology to forge this direct connection between patients and care providers -- regardless of location -- saves both time and money and enables faster, better-informed treatment decisions. For users, this means the right data, right now, so they can improve patient care. Our Wireless Hospital products give nurses peace of mind that they will be notified immediately of an alarm from their patients' bedside monitors. Given the pressure to move patients as quickly as possible out of expensive critical care beds to step-down and regular units -- areas of the hospital that do not traditionally have a networked patient monitoring solution -- the need for instant alarm notification is critical. The StatView , AlarmView , and FlexView systems provide hospitals with a cost-effective way to meet this need. The Cardiology products meet a variety of needs for managing the care of cardiac patients. Physicians, their staff and their patients use the Paceart line of pacemaker and arrhythmia systems to manage care for patients with implanted devices, such as pacemakers. The EKG Speaks product provides an easy, low-cost way for patients to transmit real-time heart waves directly to their physician via the Internet. Thoracic and cardiac specialists save time and eliminate redundant steps by using the Internet-based WebChart system to document care and efficiently report required information to the National Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) outcomes database. The Physician Wireless products free doctors to stay connected without being wired. The PocketChart system gives physicians a fast, easy-to-use tool to document information at the point of care. It runs on handheld PCs or new PocketPCs, such as the Compaq iPAQ, so doctors can carry all their patients' charts in their pocket all of the time.
