Alegent Health Sees Positive Results From Recent Clinician Usability Study Collaboration With Siemens and Motion...(and just 17 minutes when using the...),Health

minutes when using the Motion C5 MCA. For RN-acquired vital signs,

data latency averaged two hours and 40 minutes, compared to less than

one minute when nurses used the Motion C5 MCA for point of care

documentation.

-- Workflow Enhancement -- Nurses at Alegent Health were able to reduce

the typical workflow process for collection of patient vital signs from

10 steps to four steps, thereby reducing the potential for

transcription errors. Because clinicians had their own Motion C5 MCA

devices, they were able to transcribe in real-time closer to the point

of care, increasing the likelihood for accurate and complete data.

-- Improve Nursing Satisfaction -- Following the study, an anonymous

online survey of staff nurses revealed a 62 percent increase in overall

satisfaction with the new Motion C5 MCA and mobile workflow process.

Numerous factors contributed to the increase in clinician satisfaction

such as overall mobility, ease of data entry and access, and the

ability to move around more easily in constrained areas.

-- Cost Savings -- Although it was not a primary focus of the study, one

of Alegent Health's overall objectives is to reduce the relative cost

of acquiring, maintaining and operationally supporting its end-user

device computing infrastructure. Thus, a simple cost of ownership

comparison was made analyzing upfront acquisition costs, annual

operating expenses, forecasted annual failure rates, and practical

useful life of Motion C5 MCAs compared to the previously acquired WOWs.

Extrapolated over a three-year useful life, the Motion C5 MCA was found

to provide substantial savings compared to maintaining existing WOWs.
