GE HealthCare says major academic medical center adopts Hospital Pulse Tile

GE HealthCare announced a new tile for its Command Center Software: Hospital Pulse. Hospital Pulse Tile pulls in real-time information from across departments to quickly surface the most vital information about a healthcare system’s operations in a customizable dashboard designed to give operation leaders the quick “pulse check” they need to make adjustments throughout the day. For example, the tile can be configured to show how the number of emergency department admissions today as compared to a six-month median or to show what the maximum post-anesthesia boarding time was in the last day. This new capability represents a key advancement in enhancing overall hospital efficiency, supporting both care teams and patients. Duke Health, a Command Center Software user since 2019, will be the first healthcare provider globally to implement Hospital Pulse Tile. Hospital Pulse Tile will be widely available to U.S. customers next year. “Implementing 24-hour monitoring in our command center has been truly impactful to how we operate, the experience of our care team, and the way we support patients,” said Kristie Barazsu, Associate Chief Operating Officer – Emergency Services, Patient Flow & Support Services at Duke University Hospital. “As patients and family members, we think of high-quality care as a positive interaction with the care team, but operationally, there’s a lot that needs to happen behind the scenes of a hospital to enable that. Using AI-powered technology in platforms is how we sustainably support those care teams so they can focus on supporting patients.”
