Philips and Children's Health Work to Innovate Patient Monitoring in Dallas
Royal
Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA) and Children's HealthSM
today announced an up to 15-year, long-term, strategic agreement worth
up to USD $75 million to innovate their patient monitoring and PACs
systems for nearly one million patients in North Texas. Both Philips (News - Alert) and
Children's Health have been in healthcare for more than 100 years and
have a shared commitment to excellence and improving the lives of
children. Through this agreement, standardized patient monitoring will
take place on the Philips Intellivue X3 patient monitor, which offers
the ease of a smartphone-style operation, mobility and allows staff to
track a patient's vitals during transport and at the bedside. Philips is
a leader in patient monitoring with more than 275 million patients
monitored by Philips systems annually.

In addition to the Philips X3 patient monitor, Children's Health will
have access to other leading Philips patient monitoring technologies
such as IntelliVue Guardian with Early Warning Scoring and Intellivue
Mobile Caregiver. These technologies can further empower staff, by
putting critical patient information at their fingertips in an
intuitive, easy to understand format.
"We are committed to making life better fr children, and providing our
patients with the best care possible," said Pamela Arora, Senior Vice
President and Chief Information Officer at Children's Health. "Aligning
with Philips will help us improve the experience for our patients and
their families."
As hospital systems move from fee-based to value-based care, long-term,
strategic arrangements are becoming the business model of choice for
hospitals and health systems to better manage the cost and complexity of
their technology investments, while expanding quality access to advanced
medical care for their communities. Other pediatric health systems that
have also adopted this model include Phoenix
Children's Hospital, Children's
Hospital and Medical Center of Omaha, and the Maria Fareri
Children's Hospital, part of Westchester
Medical Center Health.
"As a parent, I know the importance of demanding only the best, most
innovative care possible when it comes to our children," said Carla
Kriwet, CEO of Connected Care and Healthcare Informatics (News - Alert) at Philips. "By
working with Philips, Children's Health can offer the community it
serves over 250 years of combined healthcare knowledge and best
practices, along with leading connected patient monitoring solutions
that will improve its patient and staff experience. More importantly, it
can offer patient families peace of mind in knowing that their children
are being cared for by a health system that is at the forefront of
technology adoption and that will go above and beyond in caring for its
patients."
