MedCentral Health System Embraces Mobility With Middleware

One of our customers is really doing a banner job with how it enhances the way staff work and receive system-generated notifications at two facilities in Ohio. They are using our enterprise middleware to centralize alerts for AeroScout’s Temperature Monitoring solution and Soarian healthcare information system orders for EKG and respiratory technicians. They are also finalizing the integration of alerts such as critical codes and patient requests from their GE Telligence and TekTone nurse call systems. Once alerts are detected from these systems, the Amcom middleware distributes them immediately to the appropriate on-duty staff member’s Cisco Wi-Fi phone for faster response.

Now the correct technicians know exactly where out-of-tolerance refrigerators for critical medications are located, or if blanket warmers in the maternity area show signs of incorrect heating patterns. Likewise, respiratory therapy and cardio technicians can receive an immediate order that a patient in a particular room has been scheduled for testing or treatment at a certain time.

Every day, Amcom middleware is connecting an ever-wider array of inputs to an ever-wider array of end points. It is facilitating a connected organization and linking what was once a large number of islands of information. Doing this increases patient safety and the efficiency of caregivers – both necessary in today’s healthcare environment. We think this is a must-have technology as communications are becoming more and more complex in hospitals and middleware helps to bring order to the chaos.
