Make the most of your EMR with the Connex EVD System.
Automating the vitals documentation process—and connecting it to your EMR for wireless data transmission—overcomes all of the problems that plague manual methods:
- Reduces the number of steps in the process
- Dramatically reduces the number of errors
- Saves significant labor hours
- Makes your staff more efficient
- Allows clinicians to spend more time with patients
- Automates patient identification to enhance patient safety
- Makes data more accessible
- Increases EMR adoption among staff members
- Maximizes your investment in your EMR
EMR: The solution—or part of the problem?
EMRs were supposed to be a cure-all for patient data management. But in the case of routine vital signs capture—a process that occurs thousands of times a day in hospitals—the process can become badly broken.
The transition to EMRs can have unintended consequences that adversely impact patient safety and nursing efficiency. For example, it can add steps to the process. Often, clinicians have to document vitals on paper, then later on computer—increasing the opportunity for transcription errors, making data less accessible, and increasing the time required to document it.
