The Leader in Locating Solutions Versus Information System (VIS), is a proven real-time locating system (RTLS) that puts you in touch with your resources (people and equipment) the moment you need them for workflow optimization. By using infrared (IR) and active RFID technology, VIS streamlines patient flow and resource deployment to improve safety and efficiency while reducing costs. VIS operates as a stand-alone system, or easily integrates to nurse call, security, asset management, operating room, and emergency department information systems to enhance them with the power of real-time tracking.   ED Solutions Manage emergency department overcrowding more effectively. With VISion, you can monitor patient wait times and room status to route more patients through your ED in less time. Use VISion as a stand-alone system for simple patient and staff locating, or integrate VISion with your emergency department information system to enhance it with the power of real-time locating. By automatically locating key staff members and equipment, VISion eliminates the need for overhead paging and phone tag, creating a calmer, quieter ED. VISion frees caregivers from tedious manual data entry, enabling them to spend more time with patients. VISion helps prevent ambulance diversion by enhancing patient throughput and reducing overcrowding and patient boarding. Increased productivity leads to job satisfaction and empowers staff to meet benchmarking goals. more... OR Solutions By enhancing workflow communication, VISion enables OR departments and surgery centers to increase turnover time, effectively lowering per-case expense and increasing profitability. Automatic recording of patient, staff and equipment locations and their various interactions simplifies billing and provides a means to easily track exposure for infection control. Data generated by VISion augments perioperative solution software to help you streamline procedures, improve throughput and increase revenue. From relocating patient charts in response to room rescheduling to increasing the number of cases per day, VISion helps you more effectively manage your OR services. more... Acute Care Solutions Managing patient throughput with available resources is much easier when you know how many patients are present and presenting from the ED and where your resources are. VISion allows caregivers to immediately locate mission-critical equipment, determine bed availability, monitor care progression and passively register staff and nursing assignments. The sense of urgency present in acute care settings oftentimes means that some things are missed or forgotten…calling the ED to let them know another bed is available, returning the IV pump to a storage closet, and letting the appropriate people know when labs are back are just some examples. VISion improves communication and coordination within the unit and beyond by passively collecting location information. Business rules are then applied to direct the location information into valuable applications related to reporting, nurse call, ADT, security, billing and event monitoring, etc, so that all staff are aware of the current and next stages of care. VISion also supplies important safety features. Reports Plus is particularly important in acute care settings due to the detrimental nature of infection-causing pathogens. Reports Plus fosters infection control by identifying even casual contacts between patients and staff, including time together. more...   Clinical Solutions In clinics and ambulatory care settings, backups can ruin a whole day. Patients end up waiting, physicians feel rushed, and nurses and administrative staff are frequently interrupted by upset patients wondering, “How much longer?” Smooth day-to-day operations depend on appropriate time-slotting, patients keeping appointments, and staff efficiency. VISion Clinic helps facilities manage daily operations by making rapid locating of patients, staff, equipment and charts a reality. VISion Clinic helps regulate patient flow through automatic nursing assignments and real-time room availability displays. The Rules Engine provides notification alerts when patient wait times exceed pre-established benchmarks and when nursing assessment and labs are complete to help staff work more efficiently. The results are happier patients. Reporting features available through Reports Plus help users better understand workloads and staffing needs and can help facilities track maintenance compliance and warranty expirations. more... Asset Management Resources   Where are your resources? Are you ready for a Joint Commission inspection? Can you accurately track equipment usage? Do you have too many IV pumps…or not enough? If you need a bariatric treatment bed, can you find it now? Would you know if someone tried to leave the unit with a crash cart or a patient’s chart?   These questions are too important to wonder about. Asset tracking with VISion puts you in the know. The VISion Asset solution is an active RFID-IR tracking solution that allows you to monitor location changes with customized Enterprise View™ grids. As “tagged” assets move throughout a facility, their locations are immediately updated and available in real-time. Track equipment location on customized Floorplan views or monitor location changes in list views. Use comprehensive query tools to search for a single piece of equipment, all of a certain type of equipment, or only equipment due for preventative maintenance. You can search enterprise-wide or on just a particular unit with the use of zonal filters. VISion empowers you with real-time location data and retrospective analysis tools to ensure that your equipment is properly stocked, used and maintained. more...
