"The IntelliVue Clinical Information Portfolio is our platform for delivering real time clinical decision support. It complements core enterprise healthcare information systems by leveraging data from throughout the hospital to provide clinicians with clarity and knowledge at the point of care-providing the right information, where and when it's needed," says Deborah DiSanzo, senior vice president of Patient Monitoring for Philips Medical Systems. "In addition, ICIP automates regulatory reporting, which saves hospital staff time and makes the prospect of unannounced inspections from The Joint Commission less daunting. Helping clinicians harness the power of their clinical data by simplifying reporting and presenting information in an intuitive way at the point of care has a powerful impact on day-to-day quality of care. When caregivers can make more confident decisions, they can do even more to improve and save lives every day."

The ICIP front-end user interface has been designed by clinicians and is highly customizable for hospitals' and individual units' unique workflow. Meanwhile, the back-end architecture was built on Microsoft® .NET framework to enable seamless interfacing with other hospital applications, including computerized physician order entry (CPOE).

Enhancing access to clinical information inside and outside the hospital

At HIMSS 2007, Philips Healthcare Informatics is highlighting systems that streamline complex workflow and enable clinicians to focus on patients throughout the entire care cycle from settings both inside and outside the hospital. Philips iSite PACS 3.5, also shown at RSNA 2006, improves on iSite's promise to provide clinical information any time, any place to optimize patient care.

Philips iSite PACS takes digital picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) capabilities to a new level by extending the power of radiology to all caregivers throughout the hospital. The system employs an enterprise-first approach and enables enterprise-wide access to diagnostic-quality images and relevant information. The industry-leading iSite PACS also provides a patient history timeline, helping to optimize care through insight into complete patient history. To help improve overall hospital workflow, iSite also provides collaborative work lists that are shared by multiple radiologists for better utilization and efficiency gains. Via the iSite Application Programming Interface (API), iSite also interfaces with Philips' SpeechQ solutions and the hospital's choice of clinical applications, enabling customized workflow and better connected care.
