The Dual Impact: Utilizing Advances in Patient Monitoring for Clinical Workflows & Case Reviews

The Dual Impact: Utilizing Advances in Patient Monitoring for Clinical Workflows & Case Reviews 
A Case Study with the University of Michigan Health System

Hospital systems are faced with multiple challenges impacting their fiscal bottom line. Top among the challenges are manual workflows and supplies (such as physical strip exports), managing large volumes of bedside data at a reasonable cost, and how to inform the best care for the patient that aligns with hospital best practices and clinical documentation needs. Often different software and devices are needed to execute a solution, adding up costs and increasing the demand for staff training for each new solution.  

Michigan Medicine (University of Michigan Health) deployed a single source of truth, the Sickbay Clinical Platform, that aggregates data from its bedside devices with a cloud-based technology. The solution not only gave the hospital access to near real-time data from anywhere in the facility but provided its team with retrospective data down to the second for a patient’s entire journey (including from the EHR).  

In this webinar, Michigan Medicine shares its approach to reducing manual workflows and utilizing streamlined bedside data, and the impact of having retrospective data for case review. Attendees will learn how Michigan Medicine deployed a novel approach to patient monitoring and its considerations for impacts on staff and patients alike.   

Attendees Will Learn:  

• How implementing a single monitoring solution across multiple units reduced impact on staff and manual workflows.  
• Michigan Medicine’s approach to bedside data for clinical care.  
• The unanticipated benefits of unified near-real-time device data.
