Integration provides streamlined data sharing and helps to create actionable insights from medical data on a more timely basis
Wakefield, MA, October 7, 2021 – Picis Clinical Solutions, Inc. (Picis) and Bitscopic have announced a new partnership to provide Veterans Administration hospitals with advanced clinical intelligence.
“Picis remains diligent in our pursuit to cultivate relationships and integrations for our solutions to better serve the VA. Our partnership with Bitscopic can add valuable insights for clinicians, streamline data sharing, and ultimately help clinicians improve patient care for our service members, veterans, their families, caregivers, and survivors,” stated John Danahey, Executive Vice President of Picis.
By integrating Picis data into Bitscopic’s Clinical Surveillance system, PraedAlert, VA hospitals can access perioperative, ICU, acute care, long-term care, and outpatient data from a single application. This provides a more complete data set from which facilities can expand their clinical surveillance, patient monitoring, and quality improvement activities.
The additional integration can also provide specific information to help clinicians assess the presence of device-associated hospital-acquired infections, ventilator-associated events, prophylactic antibiotic use in the OR, as well as post-surgical pain management practices.
Payam Etminani, CEO of Bitscopic, added “By integrating Picis data into the PraedAlert Clinical Surveillance system, clinicians can expand their capabilities to track important patient safety and care measures, resulting in more timely intervention when needed. This partnership will provide significant additional benefits to VA hospitals already using Bitscopic products.”
