i-Vitals is an automated system for capturing patient vitals signs from your existing vital signs machines and placing them into the Electronic Patient Record immediately. It removes transcription and handwriting errors, standardises documentation and saves hours of staff time, allowing your Clinicians more time to spend with their patients and making decisions based on real time information.

Traditional recording of vital signs has several drawbacks:

• Manual recording relies on handwriting which can be difficult to read
• Transcription from a piece of notepaper onto the chart is prone to errors
• Manual recording is excessively time consuming
• Clinicians make decisions on relatively “old” vital signs data

With i-Vitals, many of these traditional challenges are removed:

• Vitals signs are recorded to a PC at the bedside
• The data automatically appears in the on screen chart
• Chart design to have the same appearance as the familiar paper chart
• Other modifiers (such as pain intensity, glucose etc) can be entered in to the chart
• Once confirmed the data is sent to the server where the Electronic Patient Record is updated
• No need to wait for a complete ward round and transcription to take place
• Real Time data is available for Clinicians to make decisions upon

The benefits of i-Vitals include:

• Transcription errors removed
• Significant improvement in workflow at the point of care
• Instant Trust-wide access to most recent patient data for decision making
• Less time spent on documentation at the nurses station, more time spent with patients
• High acceptance due to chart customisation to replicate familiar forms
• Leverages existing investment in Vital Signs Machines
