WORKFLOW AUTOMATION SOLUTIONS
3M is bringing the Amelior suite of real-time workflow automation solutions from Patient Care Technology Systems (PCTS) to its healthcare customer base. The Amelior software comprises hospital-wide and department-specific workflow information systems to improve patient flow and reduce the risk of medical errors. The PCTS software applies business process intelligence based on location, movement and interactions between patients, staff and mobile medical equipment in order to recognize and communicate patient care milestones as they occur. The automatic data capture minimizes data entry and improves the visibility of patient care progression for clinicians to better anticipate and manage their workflow. The PCTS software is compatible with most real-time locating systems (RTLS) including ultrasound, infrared and active radio frequency identification (RFID). The Amelior software suite from PCTS includes dedicated solutions for the emergency, surgical services and outpatient services departments of healthcare facilities. Entity tracking software supports personnel and asset tracking throughout an entire healthcare facility. The software interfaces with a healthcare facility’s existing information and communication systems to integrate the status of orders, case schedules, as well as patient and staff information. The software acts as a centralized workflow portal for a department integrating key patient information. The result is the ability to streamline patient flow such that busy caregivers can orchestrate resources needed for safe and timely care.
