ICU10 Alert Notification (Vocera ASCOM) In this case the rail down condition is detected by the nurse call platform and the alert is sent to the primary caregiver (Actor 2) but she responds via her Vocera Badge (pushes a button on the Badge) that she is unavailable which in turn transmits the alert to the secondary caregiver (Actor 1 then holds up the and shows that he got a call when Actor 2 could not respond) who accepts the alert and attends to the potential bed exit alarm situation. It is important to note that caregiver one is carrying an entirely different personal communication device than the secondary caregiver.

In this case the nurse observes that the patient’s IV appears to be tissuing and requires a new catheter at a new location. The staff member touches the “IV Team” touch point on the workflow station. The request is immediately sent to the appropriate group of staff via their wireless device. When a member of the team “accepts” the event using the soft key on the handset the rest of the team is notified that the request has been accepted saving steps. The staff member accepting the request has the option to speak back into the patient room to communicate with present staff prior to arrival.

At the Intelligent Hospital™, physiological parameters are monitored by a high acuity networked monitoring platform. This provides real time measurement, visualization, archiving and dissemination of critical parameters to other middleware including the EMR, hand held devices and alarm management systems. Here, Mr. Millhouse’s heart rate and ECG rhythms, blood pressure, and O2 saturation are continuously monitored and are also available on the central station as well as on mobile devices carried by nurses and doctors. (Actor Points to physiological monitor) This monitoring platform also integrates with the hospitals wireless WiFi network enabling continuous monitoring at all locations in the hospital, during transit, at Radiology or any testing or treatment location.
