A New Approach to ED Efficiency
PROBLEM
On average, 23% of the patient population in an ED is sitting in the waiting room. Adding to the stress this puts on clinicians, are the patients lying on stretchers in corridors. Slowdowns, patient dissatisfaction, and negative outcomes drive clinician burnout.
SOLUTION
We’re building a Virtual Assistant for ER staff. This QiiQ solution will help emergency staff to smooth the execution of their duties on shift. By exploiting the latest in technology and engaging design , we will enable time savings not previously possible.
BETTER WORKFLOW
We’re offering more than an efficiency tool for care workers. Our system gathers unprecedented workflow data in real time, using it to power improvements on the fly, as well as by post-hoc analysis. We expect this to be our greatest value.
OUR GOALS
QiiQ SOLUTION
Key Elements
Tag at Triage
ED arrivals receive a small Bluetooth beacon...Setting Time Zero
From emergency arrival to discharge, all patient movements are automatically logged.
Intervention Logging
And when staff are also equipped with beacons...Auto-Capture of all Clinician-Patient Encounters
All patient-staff encounters are logged without distraction. Staff smart devices can receive context-sensitive alerts and checklists.
Real-Time Reporting
Pursue and exceed the goals that matter...Dashboards Where/When Needed
At a glance, know how you’re doing, and receive critical notifications at the right time/place.
Hardware
PROXIMITY BEACONS
QiiQ Beacons are tiny computers: cheap, low-energy transmitters using the Bluetooth Smart technology to broadcast data and communicate with mobile devices. They enable amazing possibilities based on proximity and identity.
SMART MOBILE DEVICES
Smart mobile devices equipped with our secure software recognize nearby beacons, allowing for automatic logging of patient-proximity events (exceeding a minimum). Clinicians may then be prompted to instantly code the event based on a simple checklist.
QiiQ SECURE SERVERS
When wifi is available to a clinician’s smart mobile device, it will communicate with our secure system and store logged data. Â In turn, this data becomes immediately available to our visual reporting engine, keeping patient treatment status available to everyone on the team – when they need it.
THE PROCESS
BENEFITS
LIVE STATS ANYWHERE
The results of our data capture technology are only useful if they inspire your delivery teams to perform optimally. This means that the results must be readily available to hospital staff, and must be in a form that can be interpreted quickly. We will work with you to ensure that live data streams to screens in the right places on the clinical floor. Â They will also be available on smart devices so clinical staff can see what’s happening no matter where they are.
EASY TO USE
You will find that the user interfaces of our software will be more than just a pretty face. We’re committed that they be so easy to use, you won’t need a manual.
- Colors that mean something.
- Social in ways that work for you.
No paper needed!
- Get things done fast.
