CareAware® Critical Care Situational Awareness at a Glance

CareAware® Critical Care provides an intuitive display of patient information. With a paper-based documentation system, ICU clinicians were accustomed to gaining the situational awareness of a patient by looking at a multiple-page flow sheet. While moving to an electronic documentation system offers many advantages that aren’t available with a paper-based process, clinicians have experienced greater challenges in rapidly gaining this situational awareness. CareAware Critical Care was designed to address this very need, and offers an enhanced patient summary.

Critical Care Dashboard - Always on Display The CareAware Critical Care Dashboard assimilates and delivers patient information which is always on display for rapid review and timely clinical decision making. It eliminates the need to search in multiple locations for relevant patient information, and automatically refreshes for a near real-time display.

The Dashboard aggregates information from multiple sources for display in a single, contextual view, providing situational awareness when entering a patient’s room. This enables clinicians to have a comprehensive set of information for rapid decision making.
