Capture thousands of data points for your most critical patient care management
When assessing a patient, collecting data from multiple devices can be time consuming. Having a critical care management software that automatically shares patient data with the hospital information system can reduce complexities inherent in ICU by assessing potential complications identified in hospital protocols, identifying patterns and notifying the clinical team when patients are at their most vulnerable.
Picis Critical Care Manager helps to automate neonatal, pediatric and adult intensive patient care units with editable best practice workflows from hundreds of hospitals around the world–while giving physicians, nurses, and therapists access to rich, informative data on a single screen to focus on patient care.
Key features:
- Automatic collection of data through connectivity to medical devices and intravenous pumps
- Customizable system that can be tailored to hospital protocols and clinicians needs
- View and document charts for a group of patients from a remote location
- Advanced fluid management
- Shared data across the perioperative suite and into the ICU
- Proactive tracking and reporting of care compliance
- Audit trail and high-level security
- Add waveforms snapshot captures into the patient record
- Integrate sepsis screening protocols
"With Critical Care Manager we have access to all patients’ medical data as well as the treatments being provided which helps support our diagnoses and helps us enhance quality and safety of the patient."
- Dr. Joaquin Álvarez, Head of the ICU, Fuenlabrada University Hospital
"We chose Picis because of the wide range of functionalities it covers, the technological innovations of its platform and its capabilities to integrate with our central hospital information system."
- Francisco Ramón García Lombardía, Chief Information Officer, Fuenlabrada University Hospital
"This application is well structured because it allows the clinicians to make changes, in near real-time, within patient’s digital file, without the need to systematically ask Picis support for help."
- Jean Luc Legrand, Head of ICU, Centre Hospitalier du pays d'Aix
"New users adapt very quickly to using Picis Critical Care Manager without in-depth training because of the system's ease of use."
- Jean Luc Legrand, Head of ICU, Centre Hospitalier du pays d'Aix
Clinical documentation that helps adhere to institutional workflow standards
- Centralized documentation system for the entire ICU multidisciplinary team, generating consistent, structured and legible clinical documentation
- Reduce the risk of errors resulting from repetitive documentation, transcription of clinical data from one place to another and illegible notes
- ICU software with customizable reports and templates to reflect institutional requirements used by each ICU department
Interoperability eliminates duplication of information
- Gather patient information from monitors, ventilators, laboratory systems, hospital information systems (HIS) and other medical devices at the bedside
- Eliminate redundant data entry and transcription errors allowing clinicians to spend more time delivering patient care
Powerful data correlation
- Graphically display trends to give clinicians a visual image of data correlation at the point of care
- Add clinical interventions allowing clinicians with the correlation of the physiologic data and assist in evaluating the efficacy of care
Gain nurse efficiencies using standard protocols
- Create standard, hospital-define order sets or protocols—allowing the clinician to tailor the treatment and documentation specifically to the individual patient
- Increase compliance with regulatory or departmental requirements for documentation
Expedite the transfer of information between staff
- Save clinicians’ time when transferring patient information between nurses at shift change, during physician rounds or when transferring patients between clinical areas
- Minimize the risk of errors and communication gaps, and enhances caregiver productivity
Clear visibility to fluids and medications
- Cut the amount of time the clinicians spend adding up intake and output totals with automatic fluid balances
- Reduce fluid balance documentation errors with fluid management capability and direct connection to IV infusion pumps, providing up to the minute fluid balance calculations
Critical Care Manager Frequently Asked Questions
What is Picis Critical Care Manager (CCM)?
Critical Care Manager is an ICU-focused clinical information system designed to automate and streamline workflows in adult, pediatric, and neonatal intensive care units. It integrates real‑time device, medication, lab, and order data into a unified platform to support care teams
What are the main features of Critical Care Manager?
- Automatic device data capture: Seamless connectivity to monitors, ventilators, IV pumps, and HIS systems to eliminate redundant entry and transcription errors
- Customizable protocols and case templates: Tailor workflows and documentation to institutional and clinician needs, including configuration by department or problem-specific order sets
- Advanced fluid management: Automatically calculate intake/output and integrate directly from IV devices to reduce documentation burden and errors
- Powerful data correlation: Graphical trend displays combine physiological data with clinical interventions to evaluate treatment efficacy
- Remote and shift‑handoff access: Enable clinical staff to review and update patient records remotely or during shift changes via patient summaries and single‑screen views
- Integrated perioperative‑ICU record: Supports continuity of care across the OR, PACU, and ICU with shared documentation and fluid data
- Security and audit tracking: Includes audit trails and compliance tracking for transparent governance
Who benefits from using Critical Care Manager?
- Physicians: View and document comprehensive patient data on one screen, enabling faster and safer decisions.
- Nurses and multidisciplinary staff: Use customizable protocols, order sets, and shift‑handoff summaries to improve efficiency and reduce errors.
- Hospital IT and CIOs: Gain a system that integrates easily with the central HIS and supports institutional best‑practice workflows
How does Critical Care Manager support specialized ICU environments?
- In neonatal ICUs, the Critical Care Manager tracks fluid totals precisely, down to 0.01 mL.
- In CVICUs, it can interface with specialty equipment like intra‑aortic balloon pumps and ventricular assist devices.
- All layouts, templates, and protocols can be modified to suit unique workflow needs across ICU sub‑specialties
How does Critical Care Manager improve documentation quality?
- Provides a centralized, structured platform for physician notes, progress notes, admission and discharge summaries, minimizing transcription errors and illegible documentation.
- Allows reuse of form segments and templates scoped to institutional requirements for consistency and compliance
What impact does Critical Care Manager have on clinical efficiency?
- Documentation speed: Reduces time spent on repetitive charting and manual fluid balancing.
- Hand‑off workflows: Quick generation of patient summaries minimizes communication gaps during shift changes or transfers.
- Care compliance tracking: Built‑in tools monitor adherence to regulatory and institutional protocols
Can Critical Care Manager integrate with other systems?
Absolutely. Critical Care Manager shares data across Picis’s perioperative suite (OR, PACU, pre-op), lab systems, monitors, ventilators, IV pumps, and hospital information systems (HIS) to eliminate duplication and streamline care documentation
What do current users say about Critical Care Manager?
- “With Critical Care Manager, we have access to all patients’ medical data … helps us enhance quality and safety.” – Dr. Joaquín Álvarez, Fuenlabrada University Hospital
- “Well structured … near real‑time changes … without needing to ask Picis support.” – Jean Luc Legrand, Centre Hospitalier du pays d’Aix
