Clinical Information System Suite

SOFTWARE FOR THE CLINICAL PATIENT JOURNEY

Enables seamless information sharing across the continuum of care within the clinical team

Picis® Clinical Solutions (Picis) unifies all of your business and clinical applications into a single documentation solution that drives process improvements and helps the clinician improve patient care. Continuity of clinical documentation saves time and reduces the risk of communication errors when transferring patients between care areas or clinicians. It supports quality assurance efforts, since the impact of an event in the OR and PACU can often be seen as an outcome in the ICU.

Hospitals

With one contiguous record that spans the ICU, the operating room (OR) and the post anesthesia care unit (PACU), the information seamlessly flows from one high-acuity area to another while ensuring that a patient’s progress is automatically tracked.

Clinical Information System

Preop

Picis Clinical Solutions improves the efficiency of the Pre-Admission Testing (PAT) process, and helps avoid delays by ensuring the patient is ready for surgery. Patient history, evaluation and initial anesthesia plan can be completed online with configured forms, drop-down lists and checkboxes to help dramatically reduce documentation time and increase accuracy.

Preop Manager

Picis Preop Manager is a clinical decision support solution that automates the preop process. This system helps to facilitate better adherence to evidence and consensus based preoperative protocols while helping to improve surgery readiness by providing a centralized tracking board that manages patient checklists. The result is a preop workflow that can be optimized at the point of care, enabling more timely and complete assessments, avoiding surgery delays or cancellations, saving clinical staff time.

Preop Manager:

Provides preoperative clinical decision support, including providing clinicians with patient-specific testing recommendations, consult recommendations, and teaching instructions to review

Supports an intuitive preop patient checklist management with automated surgical authorization

Anesthesia

Implement best practices with configurable anesthesia record keeping (ARK) software that supports VA custom workflow, documentation requirements and VistA/CPRS integration. Picis provides complete documentation support for the anesthesia team through direct connectivity to more than 400 unique medical devices. With no third-party involvement, the system automatically displays and documents physiologic patient data.

Anesthesia Manager

Picis Anesthesia Manager automates the anesthesia record from start to finish. Utilized by anesthesiologists to document and monitor their patients during and post-surgery, it helps clinicians easily manage large volumes of data while providing more complete, accurate and legible records.

Anesthesia Manager:

Streamlines intraoperative anesthesia care documentation

Allows for easy connectivity to medical devices

Simplifies and automates the preoperative assessment

Supports configurable documentation templates

Provides clinical decision support with user-defined rulesand automated notifications

With ARK create a contiguous patient record from pre-op to intra-operative through recovery, as well as have the ability to extend the record to a Clinical Information System (CIS) via Picis Critical Care Manager.

PACU

Picis brings automation from the OR to the PACU, enabling nurses and anesthesia teams to better document and manage complex post-surgical regimens. As the people in charge of ensuring patients’ conditions are normalizing, seeing as much information as you can from their baselines through their responses to treatments is vital. PACU Manager makes you an integral part of your patients’ journey.

PACU Manager

Picis PACU Manager manages post anesthesia documentation. Our recovery module gives PACU nurses a tool that assists with patient care, automatically connecting to devices and streaming device data. Staff can focus more on patient care and less on documentation as the system’s powerful capabilities reduce charting time, improve record accuracy, legibility and availability.

PACU Manager:

Automates postoperative clinical documentation

Collects medical device data automatically

Visibly correlates physiologic data to fluids and medications

Captures physiologic data from medical devices, automatically

Delivers best-practice assessment findings, standard scores, and treatment documentation, including care documentation prompting

Critical Care

Our critical care management software helps to reduce complexities inherent in ICU management by assessing potential complications, identifying patterns, and notifying the clinical team when patients are at their most vulnerable. The systems help to automate your intensive care units with editable best practice workflows–while giving your physicians, nurses, and therapists access to rich, informative data on a single screen so they can focus on their patients.

Critical Care Manager

The Critical Care Manager enables seamless information sharing across the continuum of care within the clinical team. This automated solution organizes high-volume device data, lab results, calculations, orders, medications and clinical documentation for physicians, nurses and other members of the multidisciplinary team. With boosted interoperability, collect data from your devices from the vitals monitor to the ventilator and automatically share even the most discrete patient data with the overall CIS record.

Critical Care Manager:

Automatically collects data through connectivity to medical devices and intravenous pumps

Provides standard and configurable templates

Supports advanced fluid management

Proactive tracking and reporting of care compliance

Audit trail and high-level security

Remote access to clinical record

Real-Time Business Intelligence and Retrospective Analysis and Reporting

Reporting is an increasingly important component of each facility. Typically reporting is difficult to retrieve with any degree of immediacy. In many cases, reporting data can be up to a week or older. Powerful reporting and business activity monitoring tools are necessary to provide the precise information needed to improve day-to-day operations and ensure you meet regulatory requirements. Picis’ Envision provides near real-time business activity monitoring. Visual indicators provide updated information on case delays, turnaround time, patient satisfaction and other key measurements.

Envision

Gain insight from macro trends and patterns at a glance, then dive in to review, process, and share granular metrics. From department performance to patient case costing, interact with the metrics you need to improve your practices on any screen, including tablets and mobile devices. Envision provides the insights to help drive your vision by providing OR focused metrics that are vital to running a successful, highly efficient operating room.

Envision:

Connects to the CIS to provide an up-to-date view of your performance

Manages by exception with business activity monitoring 

Delivers high-value information via role-based reporting

Near real-time operational analysis

Delivers best-practice assessment findings, standard scores, and treatment documentation, including care documentation prompting

Picis Envision empowers hospitals with timely data and analytics to help administrators and clinicians make informed decisions which lead to improvements in departmental operations, clinical documentation, and financial results.
