Information services provider Thomson Reuters, US, has announced the latest release of Clinical Xpert CareFocus, a clinical surveillance solution that enables hospitals to identify at-risk patients in real-time and respond immediately to improve clinical quality and reduce total cost of treatment. This upgrade is available to current CareFocus customers at no additional cost.
CareFocus 2.0 contains enhancements that seek to improve clinical quality and efficiency. New features include forms capture, e-mail and text notifications, additional searchable data elements and pre-configured profiles that target Patient Safety Indicators and Never Events (those events that should never occur such as serious disability associated with a medication error).
The Forms Capture feature allows hospital clinicians to track and document their interventions with patients at the point-of-care via a mobile device or Web portal. Centralised, electronic forms allow multiple clinicians to see the same patient information - anytime, anywhere. The improved alerting capability notifies clinicians of high-risk patients via email or text message, letting all relevant clinicians know about critical at-risk patients the moment they are identified. This latest release also includes the ability to query on additional data elements from the Medication Administration Record, working diagnosis, and active orders display. The new improved reporting functionality allows hospitals administrators to run customised, summary reports for each forms category, making it easy to report on clinical activity and associated costs.
CareFocus is part of the Clinical Xpert suite of workflow solutions (formerly MercuryMD MData) that has been recognised as a KLAS Category Leader for Mobile Data Systems for seven consecutive years. The Clinical Xpert suite includes CareFocus clinical surveillance solution as well as offerings that provide easy access to critical patient information at the point of care, charge and procedure management, care team coordination, and medication reconciliation.
