ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 12, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HIMSS19  -- Critical Alert Systems (Booth #5243) introduced its new enterprise-class software application, CommonPath Enterprise, at HIMSS19 in Orlando, Fla. The platform brings the power and reliability of cloud-computing to patient communications and nurse call. The scalable, software-based solution is flexible enough to be deployed across any size healthcare enterprise, yet architected to be centrally configured and managed from a single data center.

CommonPath Enterprise creates considerable savings in terms of resources, manpower, and physical space. System upgrades, updates, back-ups, redundancy and maintenance can all be managed remotely with minimal downtime. Likewise, the enterprise configuration enables remote management of messaging rules and protocols, staff assignments, escalation paths, and workflows from anywhere.

The system’s consolidated, multi-site data analytics allow for comparative reporting across multiple units, hospitals, and systems. Clinical and IT leadership can easily manage and analyze individual staff and group performance, standardize workflow, monitor and measure continuous improvement processes, and observe system-performance.

“CommonPath Enterprise establishes a dramatic departure from the old-school, hardware-based nurse call systems of yesterday. By encompassing the entire breadth and width of your care continuum, we are creating a true connected care environment and enabling hospital staff to provide the most efficient and informed responses to patient needs and safety,” said John Elms, CEO for Critical Alert Systems. “The future of nurse call has arrived through our leveraging the power and economics of a software-based system priced substantially below the legacy vendors,” said Elms.

“The development of enterprise was entirely centered on streamlining clinical workflow and communication,” said April Hjort, vice president of R&D for Critical Alert Systems. “Auto-failover, multi-tenant, and open architecture combined with unmatched system reliability is the new gold standard for nurse call,” said Hjort.
