The Cicomulti-Parameter Vital Signs Monitor helps "smart nursing" give time to nurses and patients

Since the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" of the Ministry of Health, it has been clearly stated that health informatization is an important task for deepening medical reform. While the government attaches great importance to the development of informatization in the medical industry, it also puts forward certain requirements for hospitals and other medical units in terms of medical response speed and medical service level. The informatization of PC-based medical systems has greatly improved the management level of hospitals, among which the construction of HIS (hospital information system), EMRS (electronic medical record system), PACS (image archiving and communication system), and RIS (radiology information management system) is the most typical. But these still cannot meet the pursuit of an efficient working environment in today's hospitals.

Taking nursing as an example, in most hospitals, nurses have heavy daily ward rounds, and the collection and recording of patient sign data are still mainly based on paper and pen copying. On the other hand, there are many daily ward round sign collection and nursing inquiry items in the clinic, nurses need to carry a variety of different equipment, and nurses often see nurses taking thermometers to measure body temperature for a while, changing blood pressure monitors for a while, and then changing oximeters and others. Multi-instrumentation is bound to increase the difficulty of docking hardware and platforms. The non-intelligent and non-integrated nature of the sign collection equipment is one of the thresholds for the low degree of informatization in nursing work, and it is also the crux of the difficulty in improving the work efficiency of nurses and the user experience of patients. 

In such an environment, the Cico multi-parameter vital signs monitor aVS01 came into being. The multi-parameter vital sign monitor aVS01 created by Hico Medical is a portable sign collection device weighing only 220g, which can realize one-stop collection of blood pressure, blood oxygen, body temperature, pulse, and blood sugar 5 signs, and has designed a variety of combined measurement modes for clinical practice. According to the needs of the hospital, it can support the input of stool frequency, urine output, respiratory rate, heart rate and other inquiries that need to be entered in nursing. The fuselage comes with a built-in identification module, which can match nurse information, sign data and patient information with scanning nurse work card and patient wristband, and at the same time, the collected sign data can be transmitted to the hospital HIS or EMR system through Wi-Fi to automatically generate forms.

The aVS01 multi-parameter vital sign monitor measures all the signs of the doctor's order by scanning the code at one time, and the data is automatically uploaded to the system, which saves the time of multi-instrument switching measurement and the nurse's manual entry of signs, and greatly improves the efficiency of nurses. Based on the interconnection between information tools, the input error rate is reduced to 0, and it also helps to improve the overall informatization level of the hospital. Taking a department with 60 beds as an example, each bed needs to collect blood oxygen, blood pressure, body temperature and blood sugar once a day, and the use of aVS01 can save nurses 4-6 hours of transcription and entry time, which truly reflects the concept that the hospital still has time for nurses, and nurses still have time for patients, so that nurses can have more time to accompany patients.

At present, the aVS01 multi-parameter vital sign monitor has been put into pilot in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Pharmaceutical University (hereinafter referred to as the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Pharmaceutical University), as an important part of the "smart nursing" system first launched by the first affiliated hospital of Guangzhou Pharmaceutical University in the province, and has been widely affirmed by medical staff. On May 24, the relevant nurses and hospital leaders of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Pharmaceutical were interviewed by a reporter from Southern Satellite TV, and the video was widely disseminated on many channels of Southern Satellite TV. Pan Xuan, president of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Pharmaceutical, said that in the first three years, the hospital spent more than 30 million yuan to establish a "smart nursing" system, and the current practice is only a small step, and more measures to benefit patients will be launched in the future. With the further popularization of smart nursing and mobile nursing concepts and the advancement of medical information technology, the Sico multi-parameter vital sign monitor aVS01 will enter more hospitals in the future, helping to improve the efficiency of medical staff and improve the medical experience of the majority of patients.
