EMR Connect is a flexible solution that seamlessly integrates compatible patient monitoring devices into your EMR (Electronic Medical Record) system.

How EMR Connect works

A scalable solution for the operating room (OR), post anesthesia care unit (PACU) and intensive care unit (ICU)

Lack of connectivity for patient monitors may lead to:

  • Increased clinician workload
    ~5-6 mins to complete a spot check
  • Increased opportunity for error
    up to 13% error rate with manual entry into EMR5,6
  • Delayed entry of data into EMR
    Wide variation in time of vital signs to data entry (2 mins to 6 hours)3

Don't let EMR connectivity gaps stand in the way of clinical value

Patient monitoring device integration into an EMR system can improve the quality of healthcare, reduce medical errors and increase efficiency.1-3,5-7 
EMR patient data

Patient data becomes accessible and actionable information to support effective decision-making and patient safety.7

Improve workflows

EMR Connect aims to support your clinical teams by reducing the burden of manual charting and eliminating transcription errors. This helps standardize clinical workflows to improve efficiency and care delivery for your patients.1-3
