Ascom Supports Enhanced Patient Care with Integration to Leading EHR Systems

Ascom, a leading supplier of Healthcare ICT solutions, announces integration with leading EHR (Electronic Health Record) systems providing caregivers with increased access to patient health information within our Unite Messaging Suite® applications. By combining our Unite software applications with access to patient health information, hospitals can better leverage their EHR system investment and enhance clinical workflows.

Hospitals globally are making tremendous investments in EHR systems to improve patient care. When an EHR system is deployed, hospitals and caregivers both benefit from increased access to patient health information. Having the right information at critical times speeds decision-making and enhances the care environment.

Unite integration with EHR systems complements these workflow enhancements by speeding up information flow. This integration utilizes standards-based protocols and helps create a "Connected” environment for caregivers - keeping staff better informed, promoting enhanced staff assignment and clinical responsiveness.

Claes Ödman, General Manager, Ascom Wireless Solutions states; "Building a connected environment between Unite and EHR systems delivers a quick, reliable and efficient solution for hospitals that want to leverage the complete benefits of their EHR system. Enabling a connected environment is a critical component in enhancing patient care and improving clinical workflow".
