Utilizing a healthcare organization’s data, the company transparently empowers leadership to manage staff more efficiently, reduce turnover rates, and improve patient outcomes. Its platform ingests data from all devices a patient is connected to and delivers customizable views for every clinician on the floor: individual patient views, summary views of patients across the ward, and views of clustered patient alarms (incidents). Calmwave “Operations Health Scores” describe each nurse’s workload and well-being based on factors such as alarm volume, response times, patient length of stay, and nurse-to-patient ratio.

Additional features include:

• Smart Alarms to intelligently group alarms into “incidents” based on alert buffering, false alarm probability indicators, added inputs for medications, and early warning indicators
• Device Thresholds customized to each patient’s physiology & Alarm Monitoring to optimize devices for alarm reduction
• Intelligent Patient Acuity to provide a comprehensive score of each patient’s condition based on real-time insights
• Staff Orchestration to optimize staff workloads based on patient acuity and alarm volume and to update scheduling for improved staff retention
• Insights & Analytics to host all users – nurses, managers, administrators, IT, and executives – within an easy-to-navigate command center
• Expert Services engagements built into the platform to provide assessment, training, consultation, and implementation.
