The Electronic Bed Board module displays a visual map of the occupancy of the rooms by nursing unit. The status of each room and bed is displayed in a visual grid with the patient names displayed in colors to indicate the gender of the patient. The information can be displayed on monitors of different sizes ranging from 17″ to 60″ HD-TV monitors.

The information displayed is based on the Daily Census and will update instantly upon any changes to the census data.

Monitors can be mounted on the walls to display the Bed Board so the staff can view room and bed status at a glance. Multiple monitors are supported for large or multi-facility organizations. Special flags can be set for each room/bed to indicate the status or actions that need to be performed. Example: a bed or room can be flag as “quarantined”.

Scan patients barcoded labels/bracelets and perform the Glucose testing. Once the testing is completed and the Meter is docked, the test results are automatically uploaded to the patients’ Electronic Health Records (EHR).

The Nova StatStrip™ point-of-care glucose monitor enables bedside glucose testing with analytical performance that approaches the quality of central laboratory testing. StatStrip’s 6-second analysis time, color touch screen operation, and simple operating steps make bedside glucose testing fast and easy. Its small, 1.2 microliter sample size results in easy sample acquisition and minimal pain for the patient.

StatStrip incorporates four well glucose measuring strip technologies. Nova’s exclusive Multi-Well™ system measures and corrects hematocrit interference as well as interferences from acetaminophen (Tylenol), uric acid, ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), maltose, galactose, xylose, and lactose. StatStrip eliminates oxygen interference for accurate glucose results regardless of the sample’s oxygen status.

StatStrip requires no calibration coding, avoiding another potential source of error. An incorrect input of a calibration code can change the reported glucose value by up to 40%.

Additional Features:

* Connect to hospital ADT/LIS/EMR
* Color touch screen
* Built-in barcode scanner
* Abnormal and critical ranges flagged by color highlighting
* Canned or free text user comments
* Flagging of Tight Glycemic Control results
* Accept patient ID or accession number
* Use of operator password (lockout)
* Entry of offline tests
* Entry of ICD-9 Diagnosis codes
* On-screen training mode
* HlPOCT1-A data output

Mobile EHR/CPOE enables physicians and nurses to improve patient care by ensuring the safety of every prescription written. The Computerized Physician Order Entry is an easy-to-use, software solution that is safe and secure. The physician orders for the patient are accessible from your computer, handheld device and/or cell phone. Nursing can send immediate notifications to the attending physician regarding any changes in condition or modifications needed to physician orders for a patient. Multiple options are provided to sending alerts are available.

Prescriptions can be restricted to the facility’s formulary and the new prescriptions are validated for interactions and appropriateness. Once completed and signed, the orders entered are transmitted to the vendor pharmacy or in-house pharmacy to be filled.

Other order types such as treatment, consults, laboratory can be entered and updated using the Personal Digital Assistant (PDA, e.g IPhone, Palm Treos) devices. If your laboratory vendor has an HL7 compliant system, you can access the patient’s laboratory results.
