MKM BedManager™ improves hospital occupancy rates and delivers information to support the development of bed management policy and procedures.

Patientrack™

Adverse events are a major cause of preventable deaths and disabilities in hospitals, and they are an enormous resource and cost burden. Each year, adverse events are believed to be responsible for 18,000 deaths in Australia, 40,000 in the UK and 98,000 in the US. Patientrack™ captures commonly recorded ward observations through bedside laptop computers, hand-held PDAs or existing systems. Patientrack™'s unique risk algorithms detect data and data combinations that require an alert to be raised, and graded alerts are delivered using existing pager, mobile phone or hospital wireless network devices. If a doctor receiving an alert is unable to respond, the alert is sent to the next most appropriate doctor until there is a response and attendance. Patientrack™ reduces preventable deaths and disabilities, with clear positive patient outcomes, and resource and cost benefits.
