AMSTERDAM and ORLANDO, Fla., April
23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG AEX:
PHIA), a global leader in health technology, today announced the
debut of its eCareManager 4.1 enterprise telehealth software at the
American Telemedicine Association's Annual Telemedicine Meeting
& Trade Show (ATA 2017) in Orlando,
Fla. This latest advanced telehealth technology builds on
Philips' proven success in delivering population health management
solutions to help combat shortages of critical care teams by
providing actionable insights to help improve outcomes in the most
complex patient cases. Additionally, the streamlined workflows of
eCareManager 4.1 allow intensivists to provide more efficient care
across a larger patient population, allowing for greater scale and
potentially reducing operating costs.
Improving clinical decision support in the eICU
Built to be source-agnostic, Philips eCareManager, a Class II
FDA 510(k) medical device, will provide seamless clinical
integration between the teleICU and bedside care teams to help
promote proactive care and coordination, allowing quicker
intervention for high risk patients. In a critical care environment
where every second counts, the platform's clinical decision support
algorithms and CensusMosaic, an enhanced organ-based visual layout
and information display, are designed to save valuable time with a
streamlined, single-screen view and upgraded entry process for
improved data integrity.
"TeleICU technology is a powerful asset in providing proactive
care by making quick catches around subtle changes in patient care
and showing which patients need immediate attention," said
Dana Gilbert, Chief Strategy and
Population Health Officer, Presence Health. "Since implementing
Philips' eCareManager 4.1 as part of the beta testing process under
IRB governance, we have been able to improve workflow efficiency
for our clinicians and increase the number of patients that our
team can oversee at a time while maintaining improved patient
outcomes and thereby giving Presence Health one more way to provide
quality, compassionate care."
"Now more than ever health systems need to seamlessly integrate
and utilize tools that will help their organization optimize
resources and take care of as much of the patient population as
possible," said Manu Varma, Business Leader, Philips Wellcentive
and Hospital to Home. "As we continue to face physician shortages,
allowing health systems to scale their services while providing
quality outcomes is critical in the shift to value-based care. This
technology eases the burden on physicians by allowing them to see
more patients and making the critical care delivery process more
efficient, opening up more beds and improving readmission
rates."
The introduction of eCareManager 4.1 at ATA follows Philips'
announcement earlier in the month spotlighting Emory Healthcare's
successful implementation of Philips' eICU platform to reduce
hospital stays and readmissions, resulting in an estimated savings
of $4.6 million during a 15 month
comparison period.1 This news also demonstrates how
Philips' population health management solutions are simultaneously
helping health systems provide quality care to more patients while
improving care outcomes.
Driving industry discussion demonstrating the power of
population health
Philips' population health management solutions, including
dozens of eICU programs currently serving patients across the
USA, are designed to leverage a
proactive and seamless model to clinically transform the delivery
of care to address growing clinician shortages, while improving
patient outcomes. Philips' eICU program supports the highest
ratios of provider to patient population management for teleICUs
and helps intensivists to monitor larger populations, increasing
productivity while decreasing operational costs.2
Demonstrating its commitment to helping health systems
transition to value-based care, Philips will spotlight its full
suite of population health management solutions, including its
enterprise telehealth, home monitoring and analytics solutions, at
its booth at ATA (#913). Additionally, two Philips customers will
discuss their successful applications of Philips' telehealth
programs: Presence Health on its teleICU implementation and
Specialized On-Site Care Management, Inc. around its ambulatory
program.
