Connected Care

The future of healthcare is connected

Healthcare is at a turning point. Clinicians face growing workloads, while patients increasingly expect seamless, coordinated experiences. Despite recent advances in technology, medical devices and clinical systems continue to be isolated from each other, preventing effective data sharing, creating inefficiencies and increasing the potential for gaps in care. The future demands better connectivity.

80 megabytes

The average patient generates at least 80 megabytes of clinical data each year, encompassing sensor readings, clinical notes, lab tests, medical images, and medication lists.1

Nearly 90%

Nearly 90% of health system executives expect the expanding adoption of digital tools, connected care delivery, and virtual health to influence their strategies in 2025.2

70%

About 70% of survey respondents said that investing in technology platforms for digital tools and services will be important for their organizations.2

Baxter is leading the way with our most connected delivery system yet. Working alongside our customers, we’re enabling patient safety efforts, realizing staff and task efficiencies, strengthening care coordination, and enhancing the clinician and patient experience.  All while unifying Baxter devices and applications on one modern platform. Our solutions are focused in these areas:

  • Connected bedside includes smart beds, vital signs monitors, infusion pumps, nurse call and mobile, and voice-activated clinical communication systems that surround the patient and care team. Our solutions can integrate with the electronic health record (EHR), active directory and other clinical systems.
  • Connected outpatient office includes vital signs monitors, digital physical exam tools and connected vision screenings.
  • Connected cardiac care integrates data from multiple diagnostic devices and modalities, including ECG and ambulatory monitoring.

A smarter, more connected healthcare experience starts here.

"Connected care goes beyond simply connecting devices to WiFi – it's about empowering seamless workflows and data integration to enhance healthcare delivery."

Scaled to Meet Your Needs

We aim to unify Baxter devices, applications and device data onto one platform to help the IT and Biomed teams focus on meeting clinical and operational needs – not on the upkeep and maintenance of multiple gateways and connections. This helps perform faster upgrades and maintain modern software that meets the latest security standards.
