CLINICAL ALERTS ASSISTANT
Get real-time, relevant information to keep your patients safe. The TheraDoc® Clinical Alerts Assistant™ identifies important changes in your patient's condition and alerts you instantly.When a patient's life is on the line, every minute counts. And starting treatment even a few hours sooner can make the difference between living and dying. But to make clinical decisions with more speed and precision, you need instant access to critical patient information, from renal function to drug levels to toxicology data. You also need an intelligent alerting system, one that delivers the right information at the right time—not all the information all the time. You need the TheraDoc® Clinical Alerts Assistant™.
Know immediately when your patient's condition changes.
Ever wish you could be at every patient's bedside at once? The TheraDoc Clinical Alerts Assistant is the next-best thing. Featuring continuous surveillance to detect changes in real-time, it delivers test results, medication orders and patient data to you—at the point-of-care. This focuses your attention and saves valuable time. Also, the Clinical Alerts Assistant allows you and your colleagues to document interventions taken as a result of its alerts. Armed with emerging information, you can quickly respond, improve care, and ultimately, reduce your patients' healthcare costs.
Eliminate unnecessary and redundant alerts.
Alerts can save patient lives. They can also kill your concentration, disrupt your workflow, and slow your response times. But the Clinical Alerts Assistant changes all that. Its intelligent alerts are triggered by shifts in a patient's condition and trends between measurements—not simply out-of-range numbers in test results. With clinically significant default thresholds that hospitals can configure to meet institutional preferences—it dramatically reduces noise and combats alert fatigue. No more repetitive popups. No more incessant beeps on your pager. With the Clinical Alerts Assistant, you get only the alerts you need—and none of the irrelevant and maddening noise.
Get alerts when you need them, and how you want them.
If you're a physician, you depend on real-time critical alerts. If you're a pharmacist, you need therapeutic drug monitoring and toxicology alerts. With the Clinical Alerts Assistant you always get succinct information that's relevant to your workflow–whatever your specialty. With its comprehensive catalog of diverse alerts, right out of the box, you can simultaneously monitor each patient's changing condition while taking care of your other responsibilities. And it's flexible, too. Choose how you wish to be alerted, whether by PDA, pager, e-mail, or Web. Then, when the alerts arrive, choose whether to suppress, retract or escalate them. It's a faster and smarter way to work—and an essential tool for keeping your patients safe.
