enabling rich data capture, seamless integration and telemedicine

Data collection and sharing

All Tempus devices have been designed at the core to manage the capture and communication of a rich set of medical data.  Tempus captures a running record of the patient’s vital signs and interventions throughout the incident at point of care. This event-driven data is integrated into a fully featured report that includes vital signs, ECGs, images, event information and scoring / map data captured in the Summary Record of Care (SRoC) which is easily integrated in to the ePCR of choice.

• Supporting clinical decision-making, enriching an ePCR with real-time event driven data;
• Providing prompt transfer of patient care to other health organisations with an accurate record of medical interventions and vital signs perameters;
• Supporting the integration of care systems across the healthcare environment as the data can be easily and securely shared with anyone;
• Clinical data dashboards and code review data can be easily and securely accessed in a user-friendly format.

Continuity of care at Handover

We understand that effective communication and continuity of care is essential for patient safety, especially at handover. In prehospital care, many transport centric scenarios occur where patients arrive at the next level medical facility or next mode of transport. They need to be transferred in a timely way maintaining the integrity of the record of care data. Tempus includes features to hand-over the entire set of captured event-driven medical data from one monitor to another using USB or cable options. Data can be shared via secure authenticated channels. This can enhance the ePCR providing a comprehensive record of rich data.

• Rich data recorded in real time at the point of care – some automatically and some manually, enriching the ePCR;
• Data is easy to capture and securely shared for consumption by anyone who is identified as needing it;
• Enhances the acccuracy of medical care;
• Outcome data, Code review data and clinical dashboards can be easily and securely accessed for audit and reporting.

ePCR integration

In readiness for receiving the patient and at completion of the transport, recovering the medical data including the Summary Record of Care is essential. The data can be used for immediate clinical review and stored in the electronic patient record (ePCR). This enhances the ePCR. Tempus provides a number of means to transmit the data via USB, email, or directly communicate it to a software-based listening application on the ePCR front end. The Tempus Listener software integrates to a wide range of patient record systems. The user can also quickly determine the content of the reports to be sent according to their critical needs.

TELEMEDICINE

Where remote clinical support is required Tempus has a fully integrated ReachBak set of features. These allow a user to connect over an available wide area network such as WiFi, Ethernet, or using the built in cell-phone technology. Tempus incorporates a voice headset to allow the operator to connect to a response centre where clinicians can view the data in real time. The response centre user has access to the complete set of data including real-time medical readings and waveforms; vital signs trends, ECGs, images and summary record of care information. The integrated ReachBak communications are designed to operate reliably over highly challenging network conditions that are often experienced in remote locations; these challenges include handling high latency, network losses and unusual jitter.
