Let's Talk

Stay alert to the subtle cues patients send as they recover from their procedures while PACU Manager compiles the data collected by individual medical devices. While clinicians monitor nuances and respond with hands-on care, Picis® PACU platform displays information that supports workflow and helps identify patterns in their data in one continuous patient record.

 

PACU Manager is part of the Picis Clinical Solutions (Picis) family of solutions that enable seamless information sharing across the continuum of care, from preop through PACU. PACU Manager automates the capture of patient information from monitors, ventilators, laboratory systems, hospital information systems (HIS) and other medical devices. Efficient clinical documentation can effectively reduce charting time and help improve accuracy, legibility and availability of information, supporting better decisions and helping clinicians to improve patient care.

Standard care protocols including key assessments, treatments, scores, laboratory results and medications are available within PACU Manager. Clinicians can establish procedure-based recovery protocols that prompt staff for the necessary assessments, interventions and requirements throughout the PACU stay. This can help organizations increase compliance with regulatory requirements and minimize liability exposure. Clinicians can choose to follow a problem-oriented charting, nursing practice guideline or nursing diagnosis format and opt to chart by exception.

Clear visibility to fluids and medications

PACU Manager can automatically record and display fluids and medications documentation and integration with intravenous pumps to help reduce documentation errors and provide up-to-the-minute information for informed decision making. Clinicians can correlate hemodynamic parameters with narcotics administration and the pain score. At the touch of a button, the system quickly and easily calculates and displays a fluid balance summary.

 

Fluid balances are automatically calculated and displayed in PACU Manager

Powerful data correlation

Trends are graphically displayed to provide clinicians with a visual image of correlated data. Interventions are correlated against outcomes, and clinicians can enhance their decision-making process by visually analyzing discrete data sets to help them quickly make appropriate changes to treatment plans when necessary.

Configurable views support specialized care delivery

PACU Manager screen layouts, data presentation and reports can be modified to meet the needs of any specialized care delivery requirement — from neonatal and pediatric to adult — or care provider. Documentation templates and views can be organized to reflect institutional requirements used by each PACU department.

 

Continuous data throughout the perioperative environment

As part of the Picis perioperative suite of solutions, documented data from anesthesia care providers and surgical nurses is shared and viewable in PACU Manager, making the flow of information seamless and helping to ensure that a patient’s progress is automatically tracked and charted from one high-acuity area to another. Nurses and physicians share a single comprehensive patient record and handoff report, yet the system permits unique intuitive views appropriate for each discipline. Data integration saves time for clinicians, enhances transfer communications and supports quality assurance efforts, since the impact of an event in the OR can be tracked based on the outcome in the PACU. 

 

Enhanced communication promotes multidisciplinary patient care

When coupled with Picis SmarTrack® Next, PACU Manager enables clinicians to view patient information simultaneously from different locations. This access helps enhance patient surveillance, avoid unnecessary delays and promote the multidisciplinary approach to patient care. Important information is seamlessly transferred to the Picis Patient Tracking module so that family members, care providers and administrators can proactively and automatically receive updates about patient status and location.
