Monitor Application Applies Data to Evidence-Based Care Protocols

ProtocolWatch is an application available on Philips’ IntelliVue patient monitors that applies patient monitoring data to evidence-based care protocols. A new development in clinical decision support at the bedside, ProtocolWatch delivers customer-specific care protocols on the patient monitor screen, responsively using monitoring measurements to offer relevant screening and treatment information from evidence-based care guidelines.

ProtocolWatch streamlines the process of checking a patient’s monitoring data against evidence-based care guidelines. It allows hospitals to use their IntelliVue patient monitors to implement care protocols, helping to elevate the standard of care and improve compliance with regulatory mandates.
