Ingenix solutions provide clinicians and administrators with access to up-to-date information, creating efficiencies in healthcare delivery. The video will demonstrate how these solutions integrate and share patient information to enhance care and administrative processes.
John, a 48-year-old, collapses during his morning run and is rushed to the emergency room with suspected heart attack symptoms. The ED nurse uses Edie Pulse Check, an emergency department information system, to document field treatment, reserve a critical care bed, and estimate arrival time. Upon arrival, a mini-registration expedites John's triage and sends information to Edie Pulse Check, reducing time to treatment.
The ER physician reviews John's full medical history via the Elysium health information exchange and Ingenix Care Tracker electronic health record. Discovering past arterial blockage, a cardiac catheterization is scheduled. An anesthesiologist conducts a pre-op assessment using Pre-op Manager to view John's airway history and document the anesthesia plan.
In the cath lab, John undergoes conscious sedation while vital signs are automatically captured by Anesthesia Manager. After finding severe blockage, it's determined John needs coronary artery bypass surgery. The cardiologist schedules the case using Piassa OR Manager, notifying the OR team.
The OR staff and anesthesia team review John's pre-op history. Piassa OR Manager generates pick lists for supplies and integrates with the hospital's materials management and billing systems to accurately calculate charges, staff time, and special charges. During surgery, OR Manager creates an integrated nursing and anesthesia record, allowing care providers to focus on the patient.
While John is in surgery, the cardiac care unit is notified via Smart Track screens and prepares for his arrival. In critical care, the cardiologist uses the Critical Care Manager system with decision support tools to monitor John. After critical care, the system creates a patient summary for the general unit. Care Medic claims management connects information to create a single patient financial record, detailing John's out-of-pocket costs and insurance coverage, accessible to staff at any location.
Ingenix systems track patient care from event to account resolution, offering comprehensive solutions for healthcare providers and insurers. This dramatically improves quality, increases efficiency, cuts costs, and enhances the overall patient experience.
