Alarm Communications Management (ACM) allows a patient care device to send a notification of an alert or alarm condition to a portable device such as a smart phone.
Summary
The Alarm Communications Management profile defines an HL7 V2 message for communicating detailed information about an alarm from a patient care device to an information system which then causes a message to be transmitted to a portable device. If the device is able to provide an acknowledgment, the alarm managing system or alarm originating system can be notified that the message was received, and (depending on the capabilities of the device) acted on. The profile also supports an alarm archiving system.
Benefits
- Provides a secondary means for notifying the appropriate person of a condition needing timely human intervention.
- May allow a clinician in a large or noisy unit to more quickly and accurately identify the source, nature, and action needed for an alarm.
- Defines the interfaces needed to mediate between a patient care device and a system communicating with a smart phone or other portable device.
- Defines an interface for a system archiving the details of alarms.
Details
ACM automates otherwise manually initiated workflow notification for greater speed, improved content consistency, better record keeping.
ACM improves workflow notification efficiency by notifying the right person at the right time on the right device.Automates who to notify, on what device, how to do it. Telephony dial back for consultation and read back
ACM provides an escalation mechanism designed to eliminate notification "black holes". Offers work task accept/escalate using two-way devices. Reduces “left a message”, “call back later” issues.
