The seven solutions in the Ascom Healthcare Platform are open, interoperable, and vendor neutral. And because hospitals come in all shapes and sizes, so do the solutions: scalable from specialist clinics to multi-site care organizations. All backed by licensing and service agreements that are transparent and predictable.
Ascom is cooperating closely with some of the world’s leading medical device makers. Together, we are making it possible for clinicians to receive detailed alerts to their phones, PCs and dashboards—while the source devices remain silent.
Rugged, reliable and shareable, the Myco 4 smartphone is ideal for smarter communication and collaboration at work. Helping to consolidate devices, optimize workflows and lower the total cost of ownership, while ensuring staff feel secure with advanced personal safety features. An Android Enterprise Recommended device, Myco 4 also fully supports interoperability with 3rd party devices and existing hospital information systems.
We all want quieter ICUs. But what about reliably distributing bedside device alarm notifications? How can devices such as infusion pumps operate in silent mode—yet designated clinicians still get relevant alerts and data. See how Arcomed and Ascom worked together to solve these challenges.
Ascom’s silent medical alarms solution supervises distribution of alarm notification from alarm source to caregiver. It detects and delivers notification of failure in the event of a faulty medical device.
Ascom helped us realize our vision: to move from multiple devices and communication barriers to one mobility healthcare platform
Ascom’s silent medical alarms solution can be connected to medical devices and other clinical technologies for seamless integrations and quieter patient rooms. And as our solutions are modular, it’s easy to scale them for every size of facility from specialist clinics to entire health systems.
We also provide in-house software engineering expertise for agile development of reliable medical device driver integrations.
Each Ascom solution comes with transparent, predictable cost structures and service agreements. Licensing models and software/device upgrades agreements are customized and defined in advance. There are no surprises or hidden extras. Just a validated, proven solution from one of the leading names in clinical communications and coordination systems.
Working together with our customers, we know that our communication and collaboration solutions must deliver excellent value for your money. But we also know you deserve a lot more. That’s why Ascom solutions go above and beyond to help improve quality of care, patient experience, staff satisfaction and retention, and even your hospital’s reputation.
Ascom clinical communication and collaboration systems are interoperable with infusion pumps, ventilators and other medical devices. And as our solutions are modular, it’s easy to scale them for every size of facility from specialist clinics to entire health systems.
