In today’s complex healthcare environment, care teams and hospital staff are being asked to do more with less, and timely, accurate, and secure patient information is critical. Baxter’s Connex 360 monitor captures vital signs for adult, pediatric and neonate patients, including blood pressure, temperature, pulse rate, respiration rate1 and blood oxygen levels.2 Designed for optimized workflows, care teams can obtain a full set of patient vitals in less than one minute and automatically send to the electronic medical record, helping to reduce manual data entry errors and support informed care decisions.
This secure data flow is powered by Baxter’s cloud-based DeviceBridge platform, which works behind the scenes to help enable accurate data transfer from Connex 360 to hospital IT systems, including the EMR. DeviceBridge also helps supportsecure device access andclinical data interoperability across Baxter’s ecosystem of connected devices.
Additional key features of Connex 360 include:
- Comprehensive security: Enhanced security features, including end-to-end encryption and certificate-based authentication, help protect patient and facility information.
- Intuitive interface: Baxter’s largest and most responsive color touchscreen allows intuitive navigation and the ability to see more patient data on one screen.
