AirView also now widely available for Astral life support
ventilators, the first and only ventilator connectivity of
its kind
ATLANTA, Nov. 1, 2016 /CNW/ -- ResMed (NYSE:RMD)
today announced two enhancements to AirView™, the world's largest
cloud-based remote patient monitoring platform that enables care
teams to securely access therapy data from three million sleep
apnea and respiratory care patients every day.
AirView Action Groups automatically filters a clinician's
sleep apnea patients on positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy into
actionable groups based on adherence status or a specific therapy
issue they may be having. This new "manage by exception" feature
will reduce the time clinicians spend on back-office paperwork
and processes, and will help ensure that patients get the most
responsive and quality treatment.
In addition, when home medical equipment (HME) and other
healthcare providers are required to prove a patient's adherence
before receiving reimbursement, they can now do so with greater
efficiency. Action Groups are based on a similar feature in
U-Sleep™ – another ResMed monitoring tool – that reduced
clinicians' patient management time by 59%.
AirView for Astral™ is now widely available, giving
physicians and HME providers access to key data from their
high-acuity or life support ventilator patients in ResMed's secure
cloud network. Clinicians can access their patient data in AirView
or through the ResMed Data Exchange where they can integrate their
system's electronic health records with AirView.
"Cloud connectivity is a major factor in the future of
healthcare, but it's not enough," said Raj Sodhi, president of
ResMed's healthcare informatics business unit. "With the launch of
AirView Action Groups, and AirView for Astral now available
worldwide, we're not only creating the connections and securely
delivering the data to clinicians, we are providing them with the
very specific and timely information they need about their patients
– how they want it, when they want it and where they want it.
ResMed's pioneering innovations in this area will continue to
positively impact patient outcomes and providers' business
efficiencies."
"The Action Groups make us incredibly more efficient," says
Stephanie Gersten, president and
owner of CPAP Success, a San Francisco
Bay Area-based HME provider. "Our staff got back all the
hours they used to spend identifying which patients need what kind
of support. Now they just pick a therapy issue, click that Action
Group to see who has that issue, and go from there."
"Cloud-connected ventilators means my staff can serve more
patients, and also give them and their families greater peace of
mind," said Chris Masek, RRT,
Mechanical Ventilator Coordinator at Kubat Pharmacy in Omaha, NE. "There's a unique security that
comes with Astral, knowing that a clinician can see what's
happening with therapy miles away with the click of a button."
ResMed is demonstrating these latest AirView features and other
connected care solutions today through November 3 at the annual Medtrade conference in
Atlanta at Booth 1511 – along with
its new line of AirFit™ 20 CPAP masks, also announced today.
ResMed plans to make the AirFit F20 and N20 masks available in
the United States later this year
(subject to clearance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration).
Both masks are currently being rolled out in Europe, the Middle
East, Africa and
Asia-Pacific.
