A system designed to collect, store, organize, retrieve, and manipulate all data related to care of the critically ill patient.

_____is the organization of a patient’s current and historical data.

_____allows the free flow of data between the critical care unit and other departments. Provides a rich repository of patient information that can be integrated for use in outcomes management. Each patient’s data can be accessed from any terminal or workstation. This capability can extend across units and departments or be restricted to a single unit.

CCIS-Vital Signs Monitoring

and other physiologic data can be automatically acquired from bedside instruments and incorporated into the clinical database. Data can be incorporated into flow sheets with other data elements such as laboratory results body system assessment findings problem lists.

CCIS-Clinical Documentation

Support the process of physical assessment findings. As the critical care environment requires frequent assessments, these flowsheets may be configured to ease this extensive data collection. Flowsheets may also be organized by body system. All disciples can document patient assessment findings into the CCIS. Automatic calculation of physiologic indices can be performed.

CCIS-Decision Support

The CCIS can provide alerts and reminders to guide care in accordance with evidence-based guidelines. Point of care access to knowledge bases that contain information on evidence-based guidelines of care, drug information, procedures, and policies. Data can be integrated with patient information

CCIS-Medication Management

Can facilitate the medication administration process. Medication administration of flowsheets incorporate the use of bar code technology.

CCIS-Interdisciplinary Plans of Care

Special flowsheets incorporating required treatments and interventions may be provided. Workflow management solutions that help orchestrate all the numerous, simultaneous processes.

CCIS-Provider Order Entry

Electronic entry and communication of patient orders can help clinicians improve communication, streamline processes, facilitate care, and can help clinicians, all providers in managing quality.
