SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Nuvon, Inc. (www.nuvon.com), the leader in next generation medical device connectivity and interoperability solutions, today announced that Rady Children’s Hospital - San Diego has gone live with its Epic in-patient clinical solution utilizing Nuvon’s standards-based, open architecture VEGA™ System for real-time patient data connectivity across three hospitals and 12 departments, connecting 400+ devices in the first phase of the multi-phase rollout.
Rady Children’s Hospital – San Diego (RCHSD) is the largest children’s hospital in California, and is ranked by U.S. News & World Report as among the best children’s hospitals in the nation. With Nuvon’s VEGA System, doctors and nurses at RCHSD will be able to meet the heightened demand for highest quality, real-time data that must be accessible by clinicians anytime, anywhere.
“The Nuvon solution provided the most elegant and cost effective architecture to enable our organization’s vision,” said Albert Oriol, Chief Information Officer of Rady Children’s Hospital – San Diego (RCHSD). “Our hospital was impressed by Nuvon’s customer service and willingness to listen and approach the project in true partnership.”
“RCHSD views the integration of biomedical device data into its electronic health record (EHR) as a critical success factor to clinician adoption, and down the line, as a key to enable the identification of care improvement opportunities that are otherwise invisible without the benefit of discrete data in the context of the entire patient record,” continued Oriol.
“Providing clinicians with accurate, complete, and available real-time data to make the best medical decisions for their patients has been the goal in healthcare for many years and this is what defines Nuvon’s mission,” said Cathleen A. Asch, Nuvon president and CEO. “We are so pleased to make this capability a reality for Rady Children’s Hospital – San Diego and the children and families who depend upon their services.”
Nuvon’s VEGA System is uniquely designed to provide device connectivity and integration across the complex healthcare ecosystem - from the hospital’s intensive care unit to the patient’s home - powered by an integrated, scalable, secure, and cost-effective web-based platform. As a result, current and complete medical data is available at all times so that doctors can make the best clinical decisions for the patient. Nuvon supports current and long-term Meaningful Use criteria and, based upon VEGA’s open architecture development environment, enables rapid delivery of solutions to meet the evolving needs of the marketplace.
Other hospitals using Nuvon’s next generation VEGA System include the Cleveland Clinic, Good Shepherd Medical Center, Virtua Health, Temple University Health System, Denver Health and Hospital Authority, and others.
