The CareFusion Knowledge Portal stores critical patient and administrative data on a secure external server that leaves no IT footprint. There’s no IT footprint or data overload because we take care of all the data transmission, hosting, management and archiving.

help measurably improve patient safety, clinical protocols, workflow, regulatory reporting and bottom-line results. CareFusion is bridging the gap between medical devices and HIT systems by providing an architecture to connect our portfolio of critical care devices to one another—and pull all their data into a central repository that connects seamlessly with the HIT system. Hospitals can also zero in on their key performance indicators and apply CareFusion surveillance and analytics technology to uncover patterns and trends. Clinicians and administrators benefit from information they can act on, with minimal IT support required. Actionable intelligence. Caregivers depend on accurate, timely information to make critical treatment decisions, and information gaps can put clinicians—and their patients—at risk.

“The bottom line is that because of ORIS integration, nurses in the OR can do their jobs more effectively, more efficiently and with more accurate documentation. That means they save time and, ultimately, they can spend more time at the patient bedside.”
The CareFusion Coordination Engine enables medical devices to exchange messages with one another, with hospital departments and with MedMined data mining surveillance services.

Coordination Engine provides an asynchronous data transfer (ADT) architecture feed for medical devices so admissions, pharmacy, materials management, billing, operating room, information systems and medical records can share information through a single interface. Timely reports. Hospitals face increased pressure to improve their own performance and collect accurate data around Meaningful Use and American Recovery and Reinvestment Act requirements. CareFusion surveillance and analytics services pull information from HIT systems and apply evidence-based rules to measure data that can be analyzed around infection rates, infusion errors, drug utilization rates and charge capture.
Multi-hospital health systems and group purchasing organizations use CareFusion data to benchmark the performance of individual facilities based on key performance indicators for safety, cost, productivity and compliance. 29
