IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) today announced its latest automation and connectivity solution, UniView: 60™. UniView: 60 uses the Masimo Hospital Automation™ platform to aggregate and display pertinent patient information on a digital display just outside each patient’s room, allowing clinicians to familiarize themselves with the most relevant details of each patient’s case at the door in 60 seconds or less before they see the patient.

UniView: 60 is intended to improve clinical workflows by helping increase clinicians' awareness of important patient information and advisories – for example, a patient’s risk of falling, environmental warnings, lab results, prescription history, radiological images, monitoring data, and much more – optimally displayed, based on hospital preferences, to help clinicians quickly interpret pertinent information. Unlike paper records and notes, which may display outdated or incorrect information, UniView: 60 utilizes its connections to various hospital information systems to display the most appropriate, up-to-date information directly outside the patient’s room in order to increase clinical efficiency and improve hand-off communication between staff.

The hand-off communication process represents an opportunity for significant improvements in patient safety. When clinical information is absent, incomplete, erroneous, or delayed, it can lead to serious patient harm, including medication errors, inaccurate patient plans, delays in transfer to critical care, delays in discharge, and repetitive testing.1 Adopting a clear and consistent communication strategy, as leading institutions like the University of California, Irvine (UCI) Medical Center have done, has been shown to reduce ineffective hand-offs by nearly 60%.2 UniView: 60 is designed to be part of just such a strategy to improve patient safety: by incorporating patient monitoring data and other data and advisories in a standardized fashion from each patient’s full EMR history, UniView: 60 can help to make the hand-off process more consistent and effective.

UniView: 60 is one of many innovations that Masimo is developing to take advantage of the powerful connectivity and data handling architecture of the Masimo Hospital Automation platform, which connects systems across the continuum of care, from bedside monitors and connected third-party devices to electronic medical records (EMRs). Powered by ACE™, advanced translation capabilities, and a robust automation engine, the Masimo Hospital Automation platform helps to ensure interoperability and the free, secure movement of data throughout hospital systems. UniView: 60 takes advantage of this flow of data by optimizing the presentation of pertinent information about each patient’s case on an easy-to-interpret, customizable display.
