Technology innovation in healthcare is advancing at a rapid pace. HITECH and Meaningful Use Criteria is fueling the innovative cycle as facilities and providers become more "tech" savvy. A key opportunity to maximize use of HIT is the need to obtain and use "smarter devices" to mitigate the inefficiencies of poorly implemented and inefficient workflow.

Taking this notion a step further, smarter devices at the bedside are not only clinician friendly, but they also have the capability to securely transmit encrypted PHI to the patient's electronic record, saving numerous nursing hours previously spend charting and documenting. Not only does workflow improve for these reasons, but the patient's data becomes available sooner and more accurate data is stored in the patient's record.

Accuracy and availability of patient data is key to clinical decision making - and at the heart of Nuvon's Intelligent Device Managers at the point of care...anywhere ^_tm
