Vigimage is a comprehensive, multi-faceted software platform
designed to enhance the capabilities of nurse call and alarm
monitoring systems in the healthcare sector.
Data on normal business and care activities are continuously
transmitted by nurse call and sensor systems. They include health
as well as a variety of daily activities. Efficient and effective
processing of such data for actionable information or added
knowledge results in better performance of the organisations.
For many monitoring systems, including those of Vigisense,
Vigimage can act as an alarm server, a multi-media messaging
platform, a data analytics toolbox, a real-time behaviour or task
monitoring system, or even a workflow management solution.
Vigimage provides essential tools to promote efficiency,
quality and traceability in environments where safety, security or
care matter. It serves small facilities as well as multi-site
organisations. Its graphic interfaces, ease of use, and processing
power make it a favourite with users and managers.
Vigimage allows a range of existing nurse call and security
systems to provide more value from their data. Its high performance
real-time visualisation options and powerful record analysis tools
are major benefits. A set of additional features turn the platform
into a solution to improve the workplace, to manage efficiently
work- or patient flow and to boost productivity.
Vigimage is compatible with a broad range of nurse call and
alarm systems, and takes just minutes to master.
Multi-technology communication platform for alarm and nurse call systems
Identification and prioritisation of calls and alarms has
never been easier, starting with a comprehensive, yet
easy-to-supervise table for call or location status. Icons and
intuitive sorting options ensure that the important call is always
at the forefront.
Modern work practices integrate centralised monitoring and
remote access to business information. Vigimage servers can be
configured to carry the data over the internet for mobile workers
or to link multiple sites into one central platform for dedicated
response teams or HQ’s information management systems.
Vigimage can collect data from nurse call solutions, access
management systems, alarm sensors, environment sensors and more.
It can format messages and send content to such diversified
devices as pagers, DECT phones, PC monitors, annunciators, TV
screens, smartphones, tablets, connected watches, under several
protocols. It handles precise, yet easy to configure, transmission
rules to reach exactly the right recipients at any time, reducing
response time for the caller and alarm fatigue for the recipient.
Rich Media Messaging and Intelligent display
Where calls need to be easily and clearly seen by staff on the
move, why rely on phone screens or limited corridor LED displays
(especially in healthcare environments)? Vigimage enables full
screen design flexibility on monitors and web-enabled devices to
make the information richer and even more relevant.
The call information can be merged on large screens with
multimedia public information content like pages listing schedules
of the day, menus, events, promotional messages or video clips.
Brand new interactive experiences can be designed by including
patient room TV's in nurse call management infrastructures.
Calls and alarms can also be displayed on floor maps. The
configuration features make it easy to change maps, reallocate
names, switch between maps and map scales. Efficient views can be
sent to desks, corridor displays and handheld devices.
Real-time location updates can be displayed in table or map
formats. This visibility improves safety, communication and
planning. Efficient workflow is essential in today’s "do more with
less“ environments.
Maintenance Tracking
With always more equipment of all kind used in business and
care activities, the maintenance tasks complexity increases
everyday. To help technical staff, Vigimage encapsulates a
maintenance tracking module that centralises all maintenance
related events in one common interface.
The system will gather maintenance alerts and status from the
various connected devices and display them in a clear and
intuitive interface. With such comprehensive overview, maintenance
operations can be optimised and do not require technical staff to
visually check every single device everyday.
Equipment history is recorded and analysed allowing technical
staff to identify issues, trace back usage and implement
preventative maintenance routines.
Productivity Enhancer
Data on normal business and care activities are continuously
transmitted by nurse call, alarm, access control and multi-media
information systems. Much knowledge on normal business and care
activities can be drawn from this accumulation.
Leveraging the same technology as its Alarm Server solution,
Vigimage is able to collect and screen these continuously.
Efficient and effective processing of such data for actionable
knowledge results in better performance for the organisation.
Various statistical and data mining techniques are deployed,
specifically targeted for the extraction of outstanding patterns,
trends and variances from large volumes of existing data. These
can be reported to decision makers or fed back into the
organisation's critical work flows to improve quality and
productivity.
Next to a range of generic patterns, Vigisense's teams are
available to customise algorithms and reports to drive
improvements in patient engagement, process performance, and
strategic decision-making.
History, Statistics and Reporting Tools
Unlimited chronological records can be called upon, without
delay, from the front page, and drill-downs are available across a
broad range of parameters. Analyses and reports can be sent to
printers, files and spreadsheets.
Vigimage automatically compiles and combines key quality
indicators in tables and graphs. Details, trends, totals, averages
are easy to capture and can contribute to the optimisation of the
operational practices. They are ideal to insert into management
reports and support decision making.
Push Reports
Alarm history and statistics are important for the
optimisation of operations. But in today’s busy schedules, time is
often missing to make the most of it. Vigimage can proactively
send summaries or ‘threshold crossed’ messages. Likewise, pop-ups
and other notification formats are available for the multi-tasking
operators.
With push reports, Vigimage makes it easy for the management
to follow overall activity. Receiving on a regular basis a global
statistics, complete or partial events list or evolution of
precise key indicator provides a better understanding of
everyday's activity.
Alternatively, intelligent reports sent when a given threshold
has been reached will ensure a faster reaction regarding potential
problems such as staff overload or inappropriate resource
allocation.
