From 13 to 16 November in Hall 12 at Stand A63 seca will show how the newest integration solutions in medical measuring and weighing simplify labor and time-consuming procedures and increase efficiency and safety in everyday hospital work.
Users can save up to 90 minutes per shift with automated data capture, documentation and archiving.
Digitalization of routine tasks increases efficiency and safety in hospitals
At MEDICA seca is presenting system solutions that optimize routine processes such as measuring height, weight or vital signs and analyzing body composition by means of Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). With integration-ready solutions such as height measuring systems, scales, the medical Vital Signs Analyzer seca mVSA2 and the medical Body Composition Analyzer seca mBCA, data are no longer manually ascertained and written in patient files, but are captured and immediately transmitted to the Electronic Medical Records (EMR) system. Efficiency gains are realized and documentation errors are prevented. Clinicians report savings of 90 minutes per shift made possible by automated processes for the capture, documentation and archiving of height and vital data.
Networked systems bring competitive edge
seca has been working on the digitalization of routine hospital processes for many years. The objective today is not limited to providing the user with precise information about height and weight. Measuring systems and scales from seca record height and weight, vital data and body composition and transmit all data directly to the EMR. “Centralization provides immediate and interdisciplinary access to all relevant patient data. Users can get a complete picture of the patient and hospitals can raise the quality of diagnostics and treatment to a new level. That’s not just a big win for patients but also a good way to strengthen the position of hospitals in the market,” says Robert Vogel, managing director for Sales & Marketing at seca.
Medical assessment: documentation of routine measurements is indispensable
The capture and documentation of vital signs, height and weight are routine tasks which contribute to quality of care and patient safety. “Detailed knowledge of these parameters is very important in routine hospital work,“ says Michael Johannes Maisch, doctor and Chief Medical Advisor at seca. “The accuracy of the data is critical in finding the right medication dosages, particularly of cytostatic drugs and anesthetics. Mixing up patients or juxtaposing numbers in handwritten measurements can have serious consequences for infants or old and weak patients.” Even though it is easy to obtain such data, the process takes time and ties up qualified personnel. The one-time documentation of vital data alone takes 1.5 minutes per patient.
