Picis launches total perioperative automation solution in Europe
8 May 2008
Picis has announced the European launch of Picis Total Perioperative
Automation suite of products for managing care through every aspect of
surgery.
The Institut Mutualiste Montsouris (IMM) in the south of Paris, a
nonprofit private hospital with over 1,100 full-time staff, worked
closely with Picis in the validation of this latest version of the
system for the French market.
Picis Total Perioperative Automation suite, part of the CareSuite
family of high-acuity solutions, provides a unified system that includes
the clinical, administrative and business components needed to operate
the perioperative suite efficiently, and addresses some of the
fundamental issues facing healthcare providers in Europe, namely:
- reducing waiting lists by improving surgical throughput;
- reducing costs through better management of resources, supplies,
implants, drugs and instruments;
- automating materials management;
- optimizing use of limited resources — especially staff;
- helping clinicians improve surgical outcomes and reduce medical
errors through better documentation;
- improving communication by decreasing repetitive documentation
and phone calls; and
- improving clinician and patient satisfaction.
“Choosing Picis Total Perioperative Automation suite was a strategic
decision, which supported our desire to be at the forefront of
healthcare technology in France,” said Jean-Michel Gayraud, chief
operating officer at IMM. “The Picis solution helps physicians and
nurses to work on an accurate integrated record, increase staff
efficiency, reduce costs, improve communication and help to improve the
quality of patient care.”
“Total Perioperative Automation is the optimum solution to
efficiently support hospitals through their computerization projects. It
supports clinicians, department heads and executives who expect the best
technology in their high-acuity areas without compromising their
hospital-wide IT strategies,” commented Philippe Mabille, Picis general
director for France.
“This latest version of Total Perioperative Automation means
hospitals can leverage Picis connectivity with other existing hospital
technology to improve efficiency and provide a complete record across
the continuum of care.”
