Digital

The importance of big data for healthcare providers is significant. Improving patient outcomes through the earlier detection of diseases and more effective treatments are not only beneficial for patients, but also support a reduction in costs. The amount of sensitive patient data, collected by different digital technologies used in hospitals, is growing by the day.

For years, B. Braun has been working closely with the major suppliers of Electronic Patient Record (EPR) systems. The Space^plus & OnlineSuite^plus system is engineered to be seamlessly and securely connected with a variety of EPR systems using the bi-directional HL7-IHE interface.

The Doselink^plus application enables Space^plus infusion devices to be integrated with wide range of third party systems such as Electronic Patient Record systems, Alarm Management systems and Asset Management systems.

Doselink^plus conforms to the HL7/IHE standards, facilitating flexible integration of the Space^plus platform with other systems that are compatible with these standards.

Integration with Space^plus allow for bi-directional communication between the infusion device and EPR. This supports:

• Auto-Documentation of infusion data into the EPR, helping support healthcare organisations with accurate and timely data collection in order to support their PaperLite objectives.
• Auto-Programming of the infusion devices, help minimise the risk of error at the point of care by sending prescription data directly to the infusion device from the patients record.

Space^plus generates a unique identifiable barcode that can be used to associate the device for Auto-Programming with EPR systems and also support Scan 4 Safety initiatives.

Benefits of connectivity and interoperability with Space^plus

• Remote infusion device fleet management without disturbing clinical workflows or interrupting patients’ therapy.
• Remote software updates ensure the latest features, cyber security patches and firmware.
• Fully supports Auto-Programming and Auto-Documentation
