VistA Enterprise Solution
Patient Vitals Monitoring
The Vitals/Measurements application is an essential tool for tracking and documenting a patient’s vital signs and physical measurements throughout their hospital stay or outpatient visits. It ensures that real-time, accurate health data—including blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and body measurements—are securely stored in the electronic medical record (EMR).
This application enables healthcare providers to monitor trends, detect early warning signs, and make informed clinical decisions. It integrates seamlessly with other hospital systems, ensuring that vitals are readily available for diagnosis, treatment planning, and ongoing patient care management. By automating data collection and reducing manual entry errors, the Vitals/Measurements application enhances workflow efficiency, supports better patient outcomes, and ensures compliance with medical standards.
