Mobile Heartbeat's MH-CURE Adds Data Analytics, Providing Metrics on Communication Patterns That Impact Patient Care
Mobile
Heartbeat, a leading provider of
smartphone applications that improve clinical workflow and team
communications, today announced Version 11 of MH-CURE
(Clinical Urgent REsponse), its secure clinical smartphone application
enabling clinical communications, patient-specific workflow and a
real-time clinical team directory connecting all members of a patient's
care team.
MH-CURE delivers data analytics, providing hospitals with granular data
and reports on user adoption and communications patterns, along with
efficiency-based metrics. Version 11 also introduces the CURE-Connect
family of APIs, allowing seamless navigation between applications,
integration with inbound call systems, such as alarms and alerts, and
access to current care team information by patient.
New Data Analytics Capability
MH-CURE's unique data analytics capability provides hospitals with data
on user adoption, application usage and communication patterns that
directly affect patient care. Clinicians can also obtain
efficiency-based metrics on activities, such as a patient's emergency
department-to-bed placement or discharge. With this real-time data,
hospitals can quantify the degree to which MH-CURE improves the
efficiency and collaboration of the care team and affects clinical
outcomes. They can also uncover different, more effective workflows or
determine where additional training may be needed. The data captured can
be easily integrated into clinical data warehouses for future
examination or reporting needs.
CURE-Connect Family of APIs
With Version 11, MH-CURE introduces CURE-Connect, a set of APIs enabling
easy external systems integration. Through CURE-Connect, external
systems can send alerts and care team data to MH-CURE's dynamic patient
care team, and users can easily move between applications. CURE-Connect
includes the following three APIs:
-
CURE-Connect Inbound Messaging -
currently connects eight different external systems to send an alert
to the dynamic care team set up in MH-CURE.
-
CURE-Connect Care Team Query API - sends
information from an external system that defines the dynamic care team
for creating the dynamic care team in MH-CURE and presenting a unified
team.
-
CURE-Connect InterApp API - allows the
user to easily move between applications within MH-CURE, such as
seamlessly accessing EMRs from MH-CURE without leaving the application.
Enhanced Voice Communications
MH-CURE Version 11 enhances voice communications through its integration
with Apple (News - Alert) CallKit and Cisco Fast Lane. MH-CURE leverages Apple CallKit
for seamlesslyanswering phone calls both inside and outside the
application, utilizing its dialing interface to both make and receive
calls. As part of its collaboration with Apple, Cisco (News - Alert) Fast Lane
prioritizes phone calls on iOS devices on the Cisco wireless network,
ensuring there are no gaps or drops in voice communications. By adding
integration with these powerful voice applications, Mobile Heartbeat
expands its collaboration with Apple and Cisco.
Optimized Clinical Team Collaboration
In Version 11, MH-CURE enhances clinical care team collaboration and
team coordination based on dynamic care team roles, helping clinicians
to more easily collaborate across changing care teams and to understand
and easily locate who is in each of the specific roles (e.g. lead
physician, first responder, second escalation point, etc.) on each
individual patient's care team.
This feature enables care teams to get very granular with assigning the
various roles care team members fulfill. A clinician who is a nurse on
the clinical care team may be fulfilling an ancillary role on individual
patient care teams as well. MH-CURE enhances collaboration via both text
and group chat for either one-to-one or one-to-many communications,
helping to further step up patient care.
"Our goal is to provide our customers with an enterprise-level, unified
communications solution integrating multiple critical communications
technologies, enabling them to have a single application for all their
communications needs," said Ron Remy, CEO at Mobile Heartbeat. "With
MH-CURE, hospitals not only have the ability to optimize clinical
communications and team collaboration; they now have the tools to
precisely determine MH-CURE's effect on team collaboration and which
workflows and processes are most effective and driving improvements in
patient care."
MH-CURE provides unified Clinical Communication and Collaboration -
multiple capabilities such as secure texting, Voice over WiFi (News - Alert), paging,
broadcasting, alert integration, and other clinical system integration
in a single application - enabling all clinicians across the enterprise
to use one device/one application for all their communications and
collaboration needs. MH-CURE also incorporates patient information and
real-time, patient-specific care team information, improving workflow
and care team collaboration. Care team members have the choice of using
their own smartphone (BYOD) or sharing hospital-supplied Apple iPhones.
Mobile Heartbeat will be exhibiting MH-CURE Version 11 at HIMSS17
annual conference and exhibition taking place February 19 - 23, 2017, at
the Orange (News - Alert) County Convention Center in Orlando, FL. The company will be
in Booth #4895, showcasing the data analytics capability and presenting
metrics that current customers are seeing regarding adoption and usage.
Mobile Heartbeat will also be in a dedicated kiosk inside Cisco's booth,
#1850, to demonstrate MH-CURE leveraging the Apple CallKit and Cisco
Fast Lane.
Visitors at the Mobile Heartbeat HIMSS Booth can also get a MH-CURE
user's perspective from Dr. Annabaker Garber, vice president and chief
nursing informatics officer with HCA (Hospital Corporation of America),
which has implemented MH-CURE. She will share HCA's success with MH-CURE
and the metrics obtained showing improved communications that impacted
patient care.
