Baxter and NantHealth advance digital health technology for medical devices in the hospital ICU
NantHealth, a connected care solutions, and Baxter International Inc., a global medical products company, has announced that a NantHealth digital health solution is now available to connect Baxter’s Prismaflex system to a hospital electronic medical record (EMR). Prismaflex is used in the intensive care unit (ICU) to treat patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) and certain blood and autoimmune conditions, which can be life-threatening. The companies are demonstrating the technology at HIMSS19 Interoperability Showcase this week.
NantHealth has built a device driver allowing integration of its DeviceConX platform with the Prismaflex system. NantHealth’s DeviceConX works with various electronic medical record (EMR) systems and enables straightforward integration of information from the device to the EMR. This means ICU nurses can spend less time manually documenting treatment data, while reducing the risk of transcription errors. NantHealth and Baxter are also working to validate drivers for Baxter’s next generation medical devices designed for the ICU.
