In light of Gaylord's study, the
implementation of the Bernoulli® system was integral to the
facility’s risk management objectives. There were several
key benefits of the system that risk management acknowledged,
including:
- Archive capability provided access to patient data in
the event of clinical complications
- Clinical staff responded to high priority patients in a
timelier manner due to prioritization of alarms
- The next interface of the Bernoulli® system to be put
into operation is automated vent check reports. This
feature will place the vent check report electronically
into the patient’s chart, and could eliminate the risk
of transcription error while addressing JCAHO
documentation requirements. It is estimated that this
feature will save approximately 15 hours per day (15
minutes/vent check x 10 patients x 6 checks/day).
As a result of the Bernoulli® system, Gaylord enabled patients
to become mobile sooner while continuing to receive the
highest quality care. The respiratory staff could work in
various areas of the facility with peace of mind. And, the
pulmonologists had better data to base clinical decisions for
faster weaning. Overall, the Bernoulli® system addressed
several needs for Gaylord. Those needs were providing a safe
environment for patients, delivering superior patient care and
improving risk management practices.
