Medical Device Integration
Connectivity – the physical interconnections between medical devices, the network, and the hardware and software required to capture data and make it available for use in the Electronic Health Record (EHR) or other clinical applications.

AAMI Survey 2012
Survey of healthcare technology management professionals in 1,900 different U.S. hospitals placed interoperability issues top of the list
AAMI’s list of Top 10 Medical Device Challenges:
• Medical devices and systems on the IT network (cited by 72 % of respondents)
• Integrating device data into electronic health records (EHRs) (cited by 65 % of respondents)
www.aami.org

WHI (West Health Institute) Report
Improving interoperability between medical devices and EHRs in hospitals could save more than $30 billion a year while improving patient care and safety. • Increased capacity for treatment as a result of shorter lengths of stay ($18
billion)
• Increased clinician productivity because of less time spent entering device data manually into EHRs ($12 billion)
• Avoidance of redundant testing ($3 billion)
• Reduction of adverse events ($2 billion).

WHI Report continued
• More than 90% of hospitals use six or more types of devices that could be integrated with EHRs. Examples: patient monitors, defibrillators, ECG machines, vital sign
monitors, ventilators and infusion pumps.
• Yet only a third of hospitals integrate any medical devices with EHRs, and those that do, on average, integrate only three types of devices.
The cost of medical device integration can range from $6,500 to $10,000 per bed in one-time costs, plus up to 15% of that in annual maintenance costs.

Business Case for Huntington Hospital
Huntington’s EHR Implementation Vision Statement
A clinical and operationally focused implementation that will integrate business and clinical information systems to support the goal of using technology to improve quality, patient safety, productivity and physician alignment.
![Page 14: The World of Connectivity – Building a Strategy to Support Medical Device Integration and Alarm Management Presented by Izabella Gieras, MS, MBA, CCEJennifer.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/5697bf921a28abf838c8f255/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Business Case for Huntington Hospital continued
Huntington’s EHR Partner Philosophy
Create an environment where all devices are integrated and contextually aware to ensure the right data is present in the right format at the right time to improve health outcomes.
Across the care continuum, medical devices contain life-critical information. It is essential for health care providers and patients to harness this information to make the best decisions regarding health.

For Device Integration in OR/Procedure Areas
Anesthesia Information Management Systems: A Review Of Functionality And Installation ConsiderationsJM Ehrenfeld et all (2011)
Called out benefits with device integration with anesthesia information management systems
• Specific to Positive Impact on Patient Safety• Provision of real-time intraoperative decision support • Allows the anesthesia care team to focus on the patient, rather than recording vital signs• Better legibility and availability of historical records• More precise recording of intraoperative data & patient responses to anesthesia
• Specific to positive impact on Anesthesia Practice• Provides precise, high-resolution records which can be used for educational purposes• Enables researchers to rapidly find rare events or specific occurrences across a large number of
cases• Facilitates individual provider performance tracking • Allows better quality assurance functionality through the creation of more complete and precise
records• Integration with other hospital databases can allow assessment of short and long term patient
outcomes• Provision of additional legal protection via the availability of unbiased, precise information

For More Automated Medication Administration
Executive Summary: the State of the Science on Safe Medication Administration symposium.
KG Burke (2005)Provides great summary of the problem•It’s estimated that five medication errors occur per 100 medication administrations.•Adverse drug events (ADEs) occur at an estimated rate of 6.5 per 100 hospital admissions.•One of every three ADEs related to medication errors occurs during administration.•It has been estimated that 56% of medication errors are related to prescriptions.•IV medications and infusion pumps are also being increasingly viewed as safety concerns.Quite simply put: “Currently available smart pumps will fail to generate meaningful improvements in patient safety until they can be interfaced with other systems such as the electronic medical record, computerized prescriber order entry, bar coded medication administration systems, and pharmacy information systems.”

For More Automated Medication Administration
The impact of traditional and smart pump infusion technology on nurse medication administration performance in a simulated inpatient unit.
P Trbovich (2010)
Discusses benefits of smart pumps
• Pre-defined drug library uploaded to each pump
• Each drug has a set of limits
• Provides feedback to nurse
• Dose or infusion rate is too high or too low for that medication
• Intended to catch majority of potential programming errors
• Can catch estimated 58% of potential medication errors
Also discusses the opportunities for error
• Current state can catch only estimated 58% of potential medication errors
• Nurse can still bypass using the library (time-saving)
• Still allows for programming errors within the set limits page 54

Device Integration in the OR/Procedure Areas
•91 anesthesia machines converted
•Devices integrated per machine:o Philips monitoro Anesthesia machineo BIS monitoro CCO monitoro INVOS monitoro Tangento Neuron (as the data concentrator)
•Total devices integrated/communication with EPIC – 490
o 4 different configurations were created for the different areas

Pump Integration
IV Pump Integration went into production at Cedars-Sinai on June 7, 2014.
• All adult inpatient locations using barcoded medication administration protocols as of January 2014
• Considered an improvement to patient safety:
• Improved our compliance with drug library use
• Reduced the frequency of reprogramming or editing the pump program before starting an infusion

My “one-liner” about medical device integration
Medical Device Integration standardizes clinical and technical workflows. If done right, you’ve spent more time defining the nontechnical processes than talking about the technology itself.
