Automated Temperature Monitoring Module Available From PCTS
CHARLOTTE, NC, Nov 04, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Patient Care Technology Systems (PCTS), a subsidiary of Consulier
Engineering, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSLR), today announced the availability of
its most advanced automated temperature monitoring module. In health
care facilities, there are many temperature-sensitive items which
require constant environmental monitoring with the assurance that
they are stored safely and in regulatory compliance. Temperature
monitoring typically requires a manual process of monitoring and
recording the temperature of storage units throughout expansive
departments followed by the maintenance of temperature logs. This
process is time consuming, labor-intensive and error prone.
With the automated temperature monitoring module from PCTS, real-time
monitoring can streamline workflow for nursing, lab and pharmacy
staff through automatic 24/7 monitoring of temperature-sensitive
inventories, real-time visibility of temperature status with dynamic
watchlists, and configurable real-time notifications of temperature
events to mobile staff through various notification options including
e-mail, text messaging, and other communication-based decision rules.
The temperature monitoring module can be used as a stand-alone
platform, or be integrated with PCTS's enterprise asset management
solution, Amelior Tracker(R). With the Amelior Tracker system and
temperature monitoring module, health care facilities can comply with
Joint Commission standards far more easily than by manually
monitoring temperatures. The system is comprised of a network of
probe-based wireless temperature sensors which send raw data to the
web-based Amelior Tracker software. The module is interoperable with
both standard probes -- which support the temperature ranges in
common refrigerators, freezers and incubators, and specialty probes --
which can be used to monitor temperature in more extreme environments
like cryogenic freezers, ultra-low freezers or to monitor other
environmental factors like humidity. The temperature monitoring
module is integrated within the software so when users need to access
location and status information on non-temperature inventories, there
is no need to open another program as all asset data across the
enterprise is accessible within the same system. Use of the
configurable reporting engine allows customers to generate customized
reports that satisfy internal tracking and workflow needs for
temperature monitoring as well as providing reports specifically
formatted to meet strict regulatory guidelines from various governing
bodies.
The Amelior Tracker solution is part of the Amelior Enterprise
Visibility Suite(TM) which comprises department to facility-wide
software solutions and services designed to more efficiently and
safely orchestrate patient care through the real-time visualization
of patient flow. Hospitals can scale their implementations by the
entities they wish to track (movable medical equipment, patients,
staff), purpose (asset management, patient flow, infection control)
and by the scope of hospital workflow (acute care, inpatient floors,
outpatient services, enterprise-wide).
"All our customers depend upon accurate and reliable workflow
management and we are always looking for ways to make that possible,"
said Chad Sallee, Vice President of Development and Technology for
PCTS. "Hospitals and health care facilities have many
temperature-sensitive items which require constant environmental
monitoring. The temperature monitoring module available allows us to
continue with our best practice standards of providing a system
capable of monitoring, calibrating, and maintaining temperatures of
inventory such as medication and blood bags, as well as access status
in any area or department in real time."
