The Ascom Healthcare Platform has clinicians’ insights built into its very DNA. Each of its six solutions has been designed in close cooperation with frontline caregivers. And to keep the solutions optimized, we’re continuously gathering clinicians’ feedback. Using it to refine the solutions, as well as our worldwide training and support programs.
The Ascom care coordination solution makes it easy for frontline caregivers to access, share and update near-real time clinical data.
The Myco 4 smartphone puts the power of the Ascom Healthcare Platform in the palm of your hand. Helping you connect everyone in your team, coordinate care more effectively and less stressfully. What’s more, it has the latest in personal alarm features so you always feel safe at work.
Care coordination is about information. About harvesting it, updating it, and making the right data accessible to the right people and systems. Which is why our care coordination solution makes data—alerts, waveforms, messages, vitals, etc.—flow from patients and devices to caregivers’ smartphones and workstations.
Can clinical communication tools make a nurse’s working life easier? How exactly can they help improve outcomes? The ‘Nurse Amy’ film takes a realistic look at a general ward scenario. And shows how an Ascom solution can benefit patient and caregiver.
Crucially, the technology development work was done by clinicians instead of to clinicians. It meant we had genuine engagement with nurses and other stakeholders as we carefully planned the hospital from the start – taking in the views of estates, IT, domestic staff, porters, admin, allied health and medical staff
Ascom has been at the forefront of clinical communications solutions for half a century. All Ascom solutions are rigorously tested, and meet all applicable standards for uptime, system redundancies and data protection: GDPR, HIPPA, the EU’s MDR, FDA regulations, etc
