Blood Pressure

  • Blood Pressure Cuffs, Your Hospital, and the Environment
    Hospitals in the U.S. generate more than 7,000 tons of waste each day. Sustainable product design can help hospitals balance the need to control their environmental impact while helping to reduce the risk of cross-contamination with single-use devices. The Golisano Institute for Sustainability performed lifecycle analysis that highlights the advantages of the Welch Allyn FlexiPort® EcoCuff™ over traditional blood pressure cuff styles.

Cardiopulmonary

“Our clinicians are very pleased with the Welch Allyn PC-Based ECG in their team areas. They are now able to spend less time documenting and more time with their patients because of the seamless transfer of data from the device to our electronic patient record. Quality of care for our patients is improved by the clinician having instant access to prior tests for comparison. The portability and ease of use of this device makes our care teams more efficient and increases productivity.”

“Many of our nurses and CMAs find the portable Spot LXi Vital Signs instrument makes them more efficient as they can simultaneously be taking the patient vitals while entering demographic information into the electronic patient chart. Our clinical providers find the electronically taken information to be more accurate and enables them to provide better patient care than using manual instruments.”

Vital Time Savings

Evaluating the Use of an Automated Vital Signs Documentation System on a Medical/Surgical Unit

This study published in the Journal of Healthcare Information Management, a HIMSS publication, compared the accuracy and time efficiency of manual-entry vital signs documentation with workflows that use a data management system to automatically transfer vital signs assessments from a bedside vital signs device into the electronic medical record. The study found that the automated vital signs documentation system was more accurate than manual documentation and errors were reduced by 75 percent. The wireless automated vital signs documentation system saved time compared to manual documentation, and combined vital signs acquisition/documentation times were reduced on average by 96 seconds per reading.
