In high acuity departments such as the OR and ED or in clinics such as Outpatient and Cancer Clinics, knowing the real-time location and status of clinical staff, patients, rooms and critical clinical equipment is essential to improving patient care and departmental workflow. Lack of such visibility can slow patient throughput, adversely impact care delivery and outcomes, extend wait times and results in superfluous labor costs.

BioVigil’s Patient Flow solution enables hospitals to:

• Increase staff efficiency and satisfaction by reducing manual data entry and improving staff communication
• Improve patient satisfaction through reduced wait times and real-time information to family members
• Augment existing patient tracking boards by incorporating real-time visibility information of patients, staff and equipment
• Decrease LWOT and/or ED diversions by reducing wait times and identifying bottlenecks
• Increase revenue and shorten LOS by identifying suboptimal workflows and improving patient throughput based on automated real-time visibility data

Solution Highlights

• At-a-glance views enable staff to quickly see patient location in and out of the room, patient waiting time exceptions, which staff members are in a room, and if the required medical devices are in place
• Throughput times and key milestones are documented automatically in real-time
• Patient-staff interaction, patient wait time and room utilization reports for workflow optimization and process improvement initiatives
• Real-time alerts on a variety of events such as patient moving within and between departments, absence of equipment required for patient treatment or transport, and extended patient wait times
• Hospital-wide visibility of patients, staff and equipment through a pervasive Wi-Fi network
• Open architecture, flexible API and HL7 integration to existing systems
• Additional features for automatic temperature and humidity monitoring of refrigeration devices, warming devices, surgery rooms, and more

BioVigil’s Patient Flow visibility solutions include:

• Real-Time OR Visibility – Real-time location and status of patients and staff moving throughout the perioperative process, automatic update of milestones into ORIS and tracking boards, real-time location of critical equipment required for room setup, OR flow metrics, humidity monitoring of surgery rooms, temperature monitoring of OR refrigeration units.
  
  
• Real-Time ED Visibility – Real-time location and status of patients and staff as they move throughout the Emergency and Ancillary departments, automatic update of locations into EDIS and tracking boards (e.g. patient arrived at treatment room, patient in Radiology), real-time visibility of critical medical devices, automatic updates of patient and staff presence in treatment areas.
  
  
• Real-Time Clinic Visibility – Real-time location and status of patients and staff as they move throughout the clinic’s exam rooms, integration to scheduling systems, analysis of patient-staff interaction times for scheduling optimization, arrival and wait time alerts (e.g. reception area, treatment rooms)

The Joint Commission and other regulatory agencies regulate temperature and humidity monitoring processes in hospitals. Nursing, lab, pharmacy and food service staff perform manual temperature and humidity monitoring and logging throughout the hospital hundreds of times each day.

Pharmaceuticals, organs, blood bags, vaccines, tissues, food and other items require strict temperature ranges for quality patient care and safety. Wireless temperature monitoring can also be used in data centers and network closets, where sensitive electronic equipment needs to be monitored, or in blanket warmers and food delivery carts.  Inappropriate humidity levels in ORs, patient, lab and storage rooms can cause bacteria, fungus, mites, infections, poor chemical interactions and increased static electricity.

BioVigil's Wi-Fi Temperature and Humidity Monitoring solution automates the current manual processes that most hospitals have for monitoring temperature and humidity, and enables them to:

• Improve regulatory compliance through automated collection and logging of temperature and humidity data
• Increase labor efficiency and productivity by freeing up caregivers’ time
• Improve quality of care through constant monitoring of safe temperature and humidity ranges as well as analysis of logged data to identify trends
• Reduce spoilage by shortening the time it takes to identify and react to a temperature problem

The solution includes the following highlights:

Leverages existing Wi-Fi network

Requires no dedicated sensor network, no hard wires and is easy to implement.

Variety of Wi-Fi Temperature and Humidity Tags

Biovigil battery-powered T5 Tags with integrated sensors are simply placed in a refrigerator or in a room and then periodically (e.g., every five minutes) send the measured temperature and/or humidity over the Wi-Fi network.

Automated Logging

A broad range of scheduled and on-demand reports that are required for logging and reporting data for regulatory compliance.

Alerting and Corrective Actions

Alert dashboards and automated notifications to communication devices enable immediate reaction and corrective action logging.

Map View

BioVigil’s MobileView software provides a graphical user interface for viewing all or a group of monitored units on a hospital floor along with the relevant alert indications.

The Biovigil Temperature & Humidity monitoring solution is FDA registered and 21 CFR Part 11 compliant
