PatientTouch 3.3.1.3611

The PatientTouch® system represents a comprehensive Mobile Care Orchestration™ solution, designed to integrate people, processes, and data in real time. This system fosters a robust connection between frontline clinicians, their patients, care teams, and existing electronic health record (EHR) infrastructures, ultimately enhancing safety, quality of care, efficiency, and nursing satisfaction while contributing to cost reduction. As a result, clinicians are afforded more opportunities to engage in direct patient care.

The platform provides several key functionalities aimed at improving clinical workflows:

• Medication Administration: The PatientTouch system employs Positive Patient Identification (PPID) workflows for barcode medication administration, ensuring adherence to safety protocols through intuitive processes designed with extensive clinical insights.
• Specimen Collection: This functionality enforces patient identification alongside real-time documentation to streamline care team workflows, enhancing safety, accuracy, and efficiency in lab order processing and fulfillment.
• Infant Care: The system guarantees correct matching of mothers and infants, ensures the safety of breast milk feedings, and maintains accuracy in breast milk labeling.
• Care Interventions: Users can view, collect, and document vital signs, input/output data, hourly rounding notes, assessments, and clinical procedures in real-time.
• Communications: The PatientTouch platform supports collaboration among care team members through clinically contextual communications.
• Care Delivery Planning: It facilitates patient assignment management, alert management, and overall care delivery planning.

The PatientTouch system is fully compliant with HIPAA regulations and integrates seamlessly with existing hospital information systems (HIS) through secure wireless networks. Usage of the application necessitates licensing the system at the respective healthcare facility.

This solution includes an authorized server that integrates with other hospital systems and features the PatientTouch electronic mobile medication appliance (eMMA™), which is designed specifically for clinical environments. The eMMA handheld device, innovated with the Apple iPod Touch® at its core, adheres to hospital regulations while meeting the demands of modern healthcare delivery.
