Quick and easy charting
Customizable templates make charting quick and easy. Check boxes, drop-down menus and age- and gender-specific parameters offer clinicians simplicity and efficiency. Nurses can record assessments and patient procedures, create flowsheets, and access and document clinical pathways.

Risk management
ED PulseCheck's comprehensive risk management features help caregivers promote safer care delivery and decrease the risk of litigation by reminding them to document important items that ensure proper care, particularly for high-risk patients. Examples include reminders for re-evaluation and vital sign range checks (when discharging a patient with abnormal vital signs) and reminders for open orders when discharging or admitting patients.

Quick decision making
ED PulseCheck features InSight ED™, a tool that scans department activity as clinicians document and sends notifications when criteria – defined by the hospital – are met. Emergency departments can use InSight ED to help manage department workflow, help clinicians provide better patient care, capture core measure activity and document to ensure proper reimbursement for care provided.

Snapshot view of all patients

Powerful reporting tools
Through a combination of standard reports, ad hoc reports and advanced data analysis tools, ED PulseCheck helps clinicians, managers and administrators find the precise information they need quickly – including core measures reporting.
