Capsule Surveillance helps detect the onset of emergent, potentially actionable conditions early and inform the care team
- Supports the entire care team with actionable insights
- Enables improved staff efficiency and satisfaction
- Aligns alert notifications to clinical practice and patient care guidelines
- Smart Rules are specifically configured to alert upon detecting emergent, clinically actionable patient events
- Enables technology convergence and reduces hospital IT infrastructure complexity
- Integrates into existing workflow and virtual care tools, such as Philips eCareManager and Epic Monitor
Latest release of Philips Capsule Surveillance receives FDA clearance
Supporting multiple clinical use cases
Anywhere access
Live, streaming patient data is available via virtually any browser-based device, to see multiple patients – with deep dive capability to see waveforms, trends, events, history, device settings, and more. The Capsule Surveillance workstation view provides an alert list across multiple patients ordered by priority.
Mobile notifications
Integrating with smart phones, pagers, and VOIP phones, Capsule Surveillance supports the escalation of the Capsule smart notifications and source medical device alarms using IHE ACM/WCTP Interface (XML or Text).
Virtual ICU/telehealth
Capsule Surveillance helps to provide remote clinical oversight, based on live-streaming data with condition-specific, potentially clinically actionable alerts and vendor-neutral aggregated viewing of clinical data directly from devices, including waveforms and settings.
Specialty-focused care
Capsule Surveillance can utilize parameters and waveforms from ventilators, ECMO, CRRT, IABP and other devices. Capsule Surveillance can be tailored to help you watch for emergent and potentially actionable events that are most relevant for your patient population.
Use case: Ventilated Patient Surveillance supporting respiratory therapy
Continuous clinical surveillance can help extend the reach of frontline clinical staff over the full range of intensive care patients, regardless of where they receive care in the facility. Ventilated Patient Surveillance provides a centralized view of ventilator data and annunciates clinically actionable emergent events:
- Reducing bedside visits from non-actionable events limits the caregivers’ exposure to infection and reduces their consumption of PPE
- Shortening response times with the goal of helping to improve patient safety and outcomes
The need for solutions that alert clinicians to emergent, clinically actionable events is increasing due to the rising acuity level of patients throughout the hospital, and the continuing shortage of nurses, respiratory therapists and other care providers.
Surveillance – a distinct process in patient care
Clinical surveillance involves the analysis of live-streaming clinical data from all patient devices using condition-specific algorithms.
- Potentially detects early signs of change on a condition-specific event for rapid, appropriate intervention
- Integrates into existing workflow and virtual care tools, such as Philips eCareManager and Epic Monitor
Clinical Surveillance is designed to:
- Support the entire care team with actionable insights
- Enable improved staff efficiency and satisfaction
- Align alert notifications to clinical practice and patient care guidelines
- Support improvements in caregiver safety and conservation of personal protective equipment in infectious disease care
- Enable technology convergence and reduce hospital IT infrastructure complexity
Applying Smart Rules analysis to live-streaming data aids early detection of potentially emergent clinically actionable events
As part of implementation, Capsule specialists can work with clinical staff to configure Smart Rules for the facility and specific care areas. Capsule Surveillance allows for rules customization aligned with clinician preferences and practices. Certain Capsule Smart Rules support established, published clinical practice guidelines.
Through Smart Rules, Capsule Surveillance performs a multi-variable assessment of a patient and notifies caregivers with Smart Alerts when the patient’s condition shows signs of deterioration that can potentially lead to emergent events. Through Smart Alert distribution to the assigned care team members’ mobile devices or other remote screens, these notifications are made available to caregivers on the go or those who provide additional oversight, such as in an eICU or virtual care setting.
