MediServe and Bridge-Tech Medical have formed a partnership to provide cost saving strategies for Hospitals.
MediLinks Protocol Management Solution with wireless ventilator data integration by Bridge-Tech Medical provides hospitals with solutions for reducing both ventilator length of stay and reducing ventilator documentation time.
MediLinks Protocol Management Solution provides best practice ventilator protocols; using the AARC endorsed weaning strategy to improve financial outcomes by reducing costs. Estimated costs for an ICU day for patients receiving mechanical ventilation are $3700. Reducing ventilator length of stay by as little as 10% will save the hospital millions of dollars each year.
Automation of weaning trials ensures no variance in clinical practice and a reduction in education time. In MediLinks, next- step branching recommendations are based on configurable branching logic. Clinical observations are stored in the database and are utilized, in standard reports, for outcomes management and validating clinician compliance. These automated quality assurance reports create significant timesavings and provide the methodology to impact ventilator length of service.
MediServe’s unique partnership with Bridge-Tech allows for the standardization of documentation and automated ventilator checks. Ventilator information will populate MediLinks flow sheets. Additionally, this information will populate the protocol templates ensuring accurate and easy documentation. This increased efficiency provides the therapist with more time for direct patient care.
