Healthcare St. Joseph Mercy Hospital: SCIP Compliance and the Role of Concurrent Documentation(Accepted for publication by Patient Safety and Quality Healthcare Magazine, January / February 2008) By Kevin C. Brennan, CCP, MSA, Chief Perfusionist and Surgery Service Integration Lead. St. Joseph Mercy Hospital; Gabriel Spitz, ScD, MSIE, Director of Human Factors, LiveData, Inc. Read how SJMH is implementing software from LiveData, Inc. that will monitor SCIP compliance and enable “concurrent documentation.” Concurrent documentation will ensure that relevant information is available for analysis and reporting. This in turn will enable staff to assess compliance with SCIP guidelines, identify documentation errors that affect reimbursement, and respond accordingly.

Meyer MD MPH, Wilton C. Levine, Marie T. Egan, Brett J. Cohen, Gabriel Spitz, Patricia Garcia, Henry Church, Warren S. Sandberg Read about the Massachusetts General Hospital prototype system that integrates data from surgical and anesthesia devices and information systems, as well as an active radiofrequency identification location tracking system, to create a comprehensive, unified, time-synchronized database of all digital data produced by these systems. View PDF > LiveData in the ORLiveData, Inc. May 2007 LiveData brings an entirely new category of technology to the operating room: real-time visual integration. Our systems are designed to facilitate the flow of information between devices and departments and among caregivers. They equip OR teams to see all relevant information about the patient and operation—precisely when needed.

View PDF > Clinical Dashboards: Impact on Workflow, Care Quality, and Patient Safety Critical Care Nursing Journal. September 2006 Marie Egan, MS, RN Read about the development of LiveData OR-Dashboard for the Operating Room of the Future (Massachusetts General Hospital) and how this technology could conceivably be applied to ICU units. View PDF > LiveData OR-Dashboard™ LiveData, Inc. July 2006 LiveData OR-Dashboard™ captures, synthesizes and automatically displays essential patient information―in step with the OR workflow. From the moment the patient enters OR care, throughout surgery, and after, the entire clinical team sees precisely what is happening as it’s happening. View PDF> LiveData Historian™LiveData, Inc. July 2006
LiveData's real-time archiving solution is a secure and flexible high performance tool for capturing, storing, finding, and playing back LiveData OR-Dashboard™ data. Because it functions with video, LiveData Historian™ is particularly valuable for training and education.

Levine MD, Marie Egan RN MS, Jeffrey Robbins, Gabriel Spitz, ScDe, Warren S. Sandberg MD PhD; HIMSS, Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society. February 2006 Through a collaborative effort, LiveData, Inc., Aptima Inc., and Massachusetts General Hospital developed a system that integrates perioperative data from anesthesia and surgical devices and operating room (OR) / hospital information systems and projects the real-time integrated data as a single, unified, easy to visualize display.

LiveData is dedicated to making it possible, for the first time, for everyone in the hospital to be on the same page. We do this by closing the gap between the work processes of the hospital staff and the myriad IT systems and clinical devices, bringing disparate information together in meaningfully context-aware visual displays we call "Visual Applications."

Sandberg MD PhD; Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery, June 2005 Most patient information from the operating room (OR) passes through various unrelated systems that created it, mostly going unnoticed and unrecorded.

Sandberg MD PhD, Timothy Ganous MPA, Charles Steiner ME; Seminars in Laparoscopic Surgery, June 2003 Perioperative care may be considered as a system amenable to industrial design approaches. The current care model is disjointed, prone to breakdown by failure of one component, and hostile to personnel. Read more >
