CareFusion Ventilation System Respiratory therapists and caregivers interact with many

disparate systems that don’t share data, exacerbating

challenges with accessing actionable information at the

point of care. That’s why caregivers can spend up to 35%

of their time per shift on redundant paperwork,1 and

consider logistical challenges as primary contributors to

time spent away from patient care.2 Furthermore, variation

in clinical practice is difficult to track and measure for most

hospitals. To ensure best practices are followed, hospitals

need analytics and reporting systems so that education can

be provided, and necessary changes to processes and

practices can be made.

CareFusion is focused on providing our customers with

solutions to address these challenges. Caregivers can spend up to 35% of their time per shift on redundant paperwork.1

A new system approach to ventilationIn today’s complex healthcare environment, ensuring

respiratory therapists and caregivers have access

to actionable information, and an efficient workflow

process, can be a challenge. CareFusion offers a new,

innovative approach to respiratory care by combining

our industry-leading AVEA®, VELA® and EnVe™

ventilators with new interoperability and analytics

software to better address clinical and operational

challenges in patient care.

Taking a system approach, the CareFusion Ventilation

System helps customers optimize respiratory therapy

to improve workflow, operational efficiency, patient

care and costs.• The Respiratory Documentation Application will help enable

more efficient and accurate documentation of ventilator therapy

• The CareFusion Knowledge Portal for ventilator therapy

is an analytics and reporting tool that helps customers

measurably improve outcomes for ventilator patients

• The CareFusion Coordination Engine (CCE) and ventilator

connectivity adapter connect your ventilation and HIT systems

• Implementation services help optimize your ventilation

system investments

Applications to improve workflow and reduce variabilityThe CareFusion Knowledge Portal for ventilator therapy is

an analytics and reporting tool that enables hospitals to

measure clinical and process variability in ventilator therapy

by providing hospitals with actionable information to help

clinicians improve patient care. Reporting capabilities focus

on ventilator weaning and notifications on important patient

trends to measure compliance with best practices. Reducing

variation in how respiratory therapy is conducted helps

improve safety and lower costs.

Initial reports include:

• Weaning Analytics

Future reports include*:

• Lung Protective Strategies Analytics

• Ventilator Operational Analytics

* These reports are currently unreleased products, and the company may not make them available for commercial sale.

“The CareFusion Ventilation System has been able to help us establish a better, more efficient workflow, so our respiratory therapists can spend more time with patients and less time on paperwork.”Michael Muth Director of Respiratory Good Samaritan Hospital, Los Angeles, California

Documenting ventilator therapy with accuracy and efficiency

The CareFusion Respiratory Documentation Application

is a handheld positive patient identification application

that automates the collection of ventilator documentation

data at the point of care. After collecting this data—such

as ventilator status, vital signs, breath sounds and clinical

observations—the clinician signs-off, and it is wirelessly

transmitted to your hospital’s electronic medical records

(EMR) system. By automating this process, documentation

of therapy is more accurate and efficient compared to

manually entering the information into a computer.

The CareFusion Respiratory Documentation Application:

• Provides an easy-to-use and efficient tool to document

ventilator therapy

• Enables more efficient and accurate documentation of

ventilator therapy

• Collects and stores ventilator data with the CareFusion

Coordination Engine

• Presents ventilator documentation data to third-party

EMR applications

Fusing connectivity and services between your ventilation and HIT systemsCareFusion offers unique connectivity with many

hospital systems to ensure successful integration

so data can flow seamlessly between systems.

The CareFusion Coordination Engine (CCE) provides

a centralized integration solution for all CareFusion

products, consolidating multiple pieces of hardware

into one application that resides on existing hospital

virtual or hardware environments. Enhancing our proven

technology,the CCE provides IT-friendly options for

more flexible installation.

The CareFusion ventilator connectivity system consists

of the CCE and ventilator connectivity adapter. The

connectivity system captures data from compatible

CareFusion ventilators at the point of care and

seamlessly transmits this information to the CCE.

The CCE is also compatible with Capsule Technologies

and other third-party connectivity applications as a

means to collecting the ventilator data.
