When it comes to the growing market for enterprise mobility solutions, there’s certainly no shortage of data pointing to strong growth for years to come. 

 So it’s little wonder why  GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, and  Capsule Tech, Inc, Andover, MA, recently announced their relationship to help speed the access of clinical information to caregivers. The companies will align GE Healthcare’s CARESCAPE portfolio of patient monitors with Capsule’s Enterprise Device Connectivity Solution and Mobile Vitals Plus applications. Capsule’s leading connectivity solution improves medical device information flow throughout the hospital – from critical care, to the operating room, emergency departments, and medical surgical units. Under the terms of the arrangement, GE Healthcare will resell Capsule’s products.

As an initial step in the relationship, hospitals can now leverage GE Healthcare’s vital signs monitors with Capsule’s Mobile Vitals Plus application, which helps caregivers capture vital signs for multiple patients, validate these clinical measurements at the point of care and automatically send them to the EMR. Mobile Vitals Plus connectivity with GE Healthcare’s monitors and EMRs can help clinicians make efficient clinical decisions, supporting quality of care. The new connectivity offering was demonstrated last month at the HIMSS11 annual conference in Orlando, FL.
