Picis Critical Care Manager (CCM) is an ICU-focused clinical information system designed to automate and optimize processes in high-acuity areas, including Medical ICU (MICU), Surgical ICU (SICU), and Stepdown ICU (SDU). It is a core component of the Picis Clinical Information System Suite, which automates the entire perioperative experience from pre-op through anesthesia, recovery (PACU), and critical care, creating one contiguous patient record across these departments.
Key Benefits and Capabilities:
- Automatic Data Capture: CCM features seamless, device-agnostic connectivity to over 400 unique medical devices, including monitors, ventilators, and IV pumps, to automatically collect thousands of data points in near real-time. This eliminates redundant data entry and transcription errors, allowing clinicians to focus more on patient care.
- Clinical Documentation: It provides a centralized, structured platform for all clinical documentation, including physician notes, progress notes, admission, and discharge summaries, generating consistent and legible records. The system is highly customizable with configurable forms and case templates tailored to institutional protocols and specialty ICUs (e.g., NICU, CVICU).
- Advanced Patient Management: Features include advanced fluid management with automatic intake/output calculations, direct connection to IV infusion pumps, and integrated Sepsis Screening protocols to help identify patterns and notify the clinical team of potential complications.
- Continuity of Care: By sharing data across the perioperative suite and into the ICU, it ensures a seamless flow of information and automatic tracking of a patient's progress. Clinicians can view and document patient charts remotely via mobile access.
- Analytics and Compliance: The system includes proactive tracking and reporting of care compliance, audit trails, high-level security, and robust analytics (Picis Envision BI-setup) for tracking performance, patient flow, and quality assurance.
