Draeger Medical Inc., today announced the release of Innovian Anesthesia Version 2.2. Enhancements have been made to the product based on extensive physician feedback and include expanded capabilities for IT performance in the perioperative suite. Innovian 2.2 is the latest result of Draeger’s ongoing commitment to developing and supporting IT solutions at the acute point of care.
Innovian Anesthesia is the information backbone that integrates near real-time, life-critical information from patient monitoring, medical therapy devices, and other ancillary information systems. It gives clinicians fast access to patient data, which can minimize the duplication of effort that often occurs with paper record systems.
Web API provides programmatic read/write access to Innovian Anesthesia data that is stored within the centralized system database. Version 2.2 enables access to Holding and PACU data in addition to supporting customized stored procedure calls that may be used for data mining or other cross-case data analysis. These new additions are also provided for use by the PreOp eForms product, which supports the creation of web-based documents similar in presentation to existing hospital paper forms.
The ReportViewer has been expanded to enable users to browse Innovian Anesthesia Clinical Reports through a third-party application. This Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) approach enhances data sharing in a secure, flexible and maintainable manner. Sharing data via network access enables expanded workflow flexibility for viewing patient data from any location, including remotely. This offers the user a variety of ways to access the data as well as a number of manners in which the data can be viewed.
Together, the API and ReportViewer expand Innovian Anesthesia’s interoperability and permit increased site customization to meet unique hospital workflow. Innovian Anesthesia continues to provide advanced IT tools and solutions to integrate within the larger hospital IT infrastructure.
From an IT perspective, the need for individual systems to offer advanced interoperability is critical. “Innovian Anesthesia’s cutting-edge architecture allows other systems—commercial or “homegrown”—to easily and safely interoperate in real time,” says Rick Sullivan, Vice President, Healthcare IT, Draeger Medical Inc. “Innovian Version 2.2 significantly extends that capability. Some of our more advanced customers have already developed their own interactive applications, which makes Innovian a very extendable platform.”
