The Myco 4 is a rugged, Android Enterprise Recommended, easy-to-integrate smartphone that is purpose-built to deliver value. Designed to withstand harsh working environments and be shareable across staff and shifts, it helps you consolidate devices and lower the total cost of ownership. While helping you boost operational efficiency, improve patient-centered care and keep staff safe with advanced personal alarm features.
Together with the Ascom Healthcare Platform, the Myco 4 smartphone is the perfect companion for clinical decision support. It can be integrated with virtually any medical device or hospital system and enabling early detection of possible patient deterioration with tailored rules, clinicians can have all relevant metrics, analytics and alerts in the palm of their hand.
Helping decrease the cost of care through early intervention - by getting patients to ICU quickly or by helping them avoid an ICU admission altogether. Ascom’s clinical decision support system collects necessary data for predictive analytics. Easy-to-use to help tailor rules to fit patient needs. Information can be sent via dashboards and mobile devices to help care teams act promptly.
The early interventions made possible by a CDSS solution can help reduce the length-of-stay of some patients, as well as the frequency and severity of adverse events. That’s obviously good for patients and clinicians—and great if you’re looking to control costs while simultaneously striving for better outcomes.
