Emergency Health Centre Implements Ultrasound Emergency Department
Information System from Patient Care Technology Systems
New Houston Concierge Emergency Care Facility Implements EDIS with
Sonitor Ultrasound Locating
MISSION VIEJO, Calif. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) September 25, 2007 --
Patient Care Technology Systems
(PCTS), a subsidiary of Consulier Engineering, Inc. (Nasdaq:CSLR), today
announced that Emergency
Health Centre (EHC) in Houston, Texas has successfully implemented
the Amelior ED™ patient tracking and
charting system. EHC is the first emergency care provider in the nation
to implement an emergency department information system which integrates
ultrasound-based automatic patient and asset tracking. PCTS integrated
its ED information system software with ultrasound locating hardware
from business partner, Sonitor
Technologies.
The Amelior ED system provides comprehensive information
management from patient triage to disposition. Core modules include
patient tracking, nurse and physician charting, computerized provider
order entry, clinical decision support and patient disposition
management. PCTS, recognized as a pioneer in automatic patient and asset
tracking software for emergency departments, is the first EDIS provider
to embed automatic patient and asset tracking software within its
documentation system. Earlier this year, PCTS announced its partnership
with Sonitor Technologies to integrate ultrasound locating with its
tracking and charting systems.
“Our vision for Emergency Health Centre is to
offer a new level of service and convenience with the highest quality
emergency care,” said Victor Miranda, CEO of
Emergency Health Centre. “Our concierge
emergency care model represents a customer-driven philosophy towards how
emergency care should be provided. Central to our care model is the use
of the most advanced technologies. The Amelior ED system and its
use of real-time ultrasound locating will provide us with the workflow
and clinical support to offer the most efficient and safe emergency care.”
Emergency Health Centre is a freestanding emergency care facility which
operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It is designed around a
concierge emergency medicine model which promises a higher level of
service, more customized patient care and more comfortable and upscale
waiting and treatment areas. As part of the service commitment, patients
are guaranteed that they will be seen within 30 minutes and can check-in
using tablet PCs. EHC is staffed by board-certified emergency medicine
physicians and contains an on-site full service CLIA certified
laboratory and diagnostic center. A 64-slice CT scanner is among the
advanced medical technology and diagnostic tools in use.
“We are proud to support EHC’s
exciting new vision for emergency care with the latest advances in
emergency department information systems,”
said Tony Marsico, CEO of PCTS. “The
innovations that EHC is bringing to service, technology and facility
design offer a truly differentiated option for patients.”
The Amelior ED system integrates location data from real-time
locating systems such as Sonitor’s ultrasound
indoor positioning system. Wireless patient and asset tags communicate
their real-time location using ultrasound signals which remain in the
room where they originate to provide 100% room level accuracy. The
signals do not create any electromagnetic interference and do not impact
hospital LAN bandwidth. Used as part of the Amelior ED system,
manual updating of patient location and care status is virtually
eliminated. Emergency department workflow intelligence within the Amelior
ED system provides caregivers with extensive workflow automation
support to anticipate and manage their activities.
