STAT-Portering (internal transport)

A complete patient portering management system, the STAT-Transport internal module offers a simple and flexible solution for managing patient transfers within care units, departments, and services. The software is designed to consider each patient’s specific needs to ensure safe transportation.

• Improved Communication Processes
  • Prepares transport requests from the requesting unit.
  • Prioritizes transport assignments.
  • Distributes instructions via synthesized voice.

• Better Resource Management
• • Automated assignment of porters based on proximity to the next required transport.
• Reduced Operational Costs
  • Provides data for analysis.
  • Improves efficiency and reduces transport-related wait times.

Designed to accommodate mid-sized to large hospitals and heavy patient transport volumes, STAT-Transport simply and efficiently assigns the required staff to ensure patient transport safely, within a reasonable timeframe.

• STAT-Transport prepares the request based on the need to ensure the proper transport suitable for the patient’s condition.
• The internal module of STAT-Transport identifies infectious risks and suggests appropriate equipment based on the patient’s condition to reduce infection transmission risks.
• Simple, user-friendly, and quick transport requests can be completed by requestors without using a central portering service.
• Screen-selectable parameters designed for touchscreen use.
• Configures the system according to a facility’s architecture and distances between users, allowing the algorithm to ensure fast and optimized transfers.
• Tracks all stages of the transport in real time.
• Integrates with surrounding clinical systems (operating room, emergency, etc.).
• Allows pairing of patient transport with requests for equipment, supplies, mail, specimens, etc.
• Allows for scheduling multiple and sequential transports, as well as planning the return of a patient after an initial movement.
• Allows for scheduling the return of important equipment after transport (pumps, stretchers, etc.).

Features

• Full integration with the facility’s ADT system.
• Flexibility to operate with or without a dispatch center.
• Directives communicated via the phone’s keypad (wired mode) using a VRS (Voice Response System) module.
• Voice messages to porters will be delivered in their preferred language, regardless of the language chosen by the requester, to ensure maximum understanding and efficiency.
• Ability to communicate via IP telephony or smart phone (optional).
• Receives alerts such as elevator status or contact requests from supervisors, care units, and others.
• Allows for urgent requests and prioritization according to the transport request’s source (department).
• The software can configure statuses with importance levels and allocated time, allowing adjustments based on transport delays.
• Data available on porter’s compliance to assigned requests (transport refusal, hung-up phone, orphaned transport, and other specific situations).
• Access to data and functions based on user rights.
• Complete statistics with export options to Excel.
• Real-time dashboard with statistical data by hour, day, month, year, for generating reports, graphs, or tables.

Simple to use, the internal STAT-Transport module facilitates complete, automated management of various patient-transports on a single screen. Created with rigorous safety requirements in mind, the system ensures patient transport under optimal conditions while providing requestors with an intuitive platform for quickly and easily preparing requests.

• Bilingual application.
• Option to have visibility via a giant screen dashboard.
• Real-time overview using color-coded status.
• Transport of patients, specimens, or equipment.
• Personalized messages for porters.
• Communication via IP phone or smart phone (optional).
• Shared platform between internal transport (portering service) and external (inter-site transport).
