Frequently Asked Questions

PeriOp Manager is available as a subscription-based cloud offering (SaaS).  Pricing is based on the number of facilities and operating rooms will use PeriOp Manager.

LiveData employs a detailed yet efficient process that begins with system requirements gathering via a perioperative workflow assessment. This enables LiveData to configure the solution to the specific environment and needs of the customer. The process then moves into the configuration, test, and install phases. The process is finished with end-user testing and software acceptance and then moves into the facility and staff training phases in preparation for “Go-Live.”

Based on current customer successes and data, PeriOp Manager pays for itself in less than one year's time.

Although hospitals and surgical centers will usually achieve the best ROI and benefit most by implementing the entire LiveData PeriOp Manager product suite, a hospital can use the displays they believe best meet their current needs.

LiveData RTI Server™ — Healthcare Edition is the technological foundation for all LiveData healthcare products. A real-time data integration engine, LiveData RTI unifies disparate systems—medical devices from diverse vendors, hospital information systems, EHRs, in-house applications and data structures—and delivers real-time data streams to visual applications like LiveData OR-Dashboard for synthesis and display.

LiveData RTI is designed for maximum flexibility, scalability, and reliability, using an object-oriented approach that leverages broad-based IT and industry-specific standards.

Notice of Intended Use

LiveData, Inc. does not intend for LiveData RTI Server-Healthcare Edition to be used for active patient monitoring, controlling or altering the functions or parameters of any medical device, or any other purpose relating to data obtained directly or indirectly from a medical device other than the transfer, storage, and conversion of such data from one format to another in accordance with preset specifications.

LiveData supports a variety of industry standard protocols, interfaces and APIs.

LiveData communicates with EHRs, medical devices, and other health information systems using standards-based protocols where available, including technologies such as:

• HL7 2.X

• FHIR

• XML, JSON, SQL. SOAP, SOA

• Other industry-standard REST & web services

Our long experience with a variety of networking protocols gives us deep expertise in applying standards-based networking and inter-process communications to the medical area.

LiveData RTI has a rich scripting environment that facilitates easy integration with the APIs of all other applications. With secure, transparent access to key information systems, LiveData RTI alleviates the need for additional interface adaptors and does not disrupt the integrity of other systems, such as Cerner, Epic, Allscripts,  Draeger, McKesson, MEDITECH, Picis, and VistA.

LiveData has been actively involved in initiatives dedicated to standardization of medical devices, including:

IHE PCD: IHE Patient Care Device  

MD PnP:  Medical Device "Plug-and-Play" Interoperability Program

In the IHE Connectathon, LiveData successfully completed testing as the Device Observation Consumer in the IHE Device Enterprise Communication Profile, interoperating with a variety of vendors, including B.Braun, Draeger, GE, Philips, and Welch Allyn.

IHE links healthcare professionals and industry to improve the way computer systems in healthcare share information. IHE Patient Care Device (PCD) domain was formed in 2005 to address the integration of medical devices into the healthcare enterprise, from the point-of-care to the EHR, potentially resulting in significant improvements in patient safety and quality of care.

The CIMIT MD PnP Interoperability Program leads the evaluation and adoption of open standards and technology for medical device interoperability. Until this goal is met, LiveData works with MD PnP to provide intermediary solutions.
