How care teams put Photon to work when minutes matter.
Your physicians know the importance of hitting 60-minute balloon times for their STEMI patients. Photon helps you do just that. With just the touch of a button, Photon mobilizes your entire STEMI team. Each team member gets a notification on their mobile device, along with all of the relevant patient information they need — EKGs, labs, and the patient's full chart. Your on-call physician will be up to speed and ready to operate by the time they reach the hospital, saving vital minutes. And saving lives.
Recommended door-to-needle time for patients with acute ischemic stroke is 60 minutes or less, and yet studies have found that less than 30% of U.S. patients are treated within that timeframe. With Photon, transfer centers and EMS teams can be registered with your hospital's network, allowing the ED to get advanced notification that a stroke patient is on their way. With a single push of a button, your Stroke Team can be mobilized and equipped with all of the data they need to make that 60-minute deadline. Your team members get not only a notification of the patient en route, but also relevant CT scans, MRIs, labs, and the entire patient chart, in easy-to-navigate files right on their mobile device. Plus, they'll get real-time alerts as soon as new results or communications are ready to view.
During a three-month case study at Yavapai Regional Medical Center in Prescott, Arizona, surgical patients saw a drastic improvement in their average length of stay when Photon was implemented. When consults were initiated with Photon, specifically general and orthopedic surgery consults, hospital length of stay times were reduced by approximately 25% compared to those where Photon was not used for physician consultations. Getting real-time, audible notifications for critical lab values and instant, secure access to complete patient charts directly from a smartphone improved productivity and led to better clinical decision-making. This improved patient documentation and patient care with fewer disruptions to workflows, resulting in better patient outcomes.
