Interoperability in health care

Smarter workflows - Better linked

Successful health care depends on having the right information at the righttime in the right place. Too often care is impeded by broken patient dataflows and time-consuming information exchange. In the hospital, far too many devices are still not connected to the IT network and the costs of poor integration are rising constantly. B. Braun has the goal to provide you withsecure and precise exchange of clinical data across systems and devices - to give you smarter workflows, better linked for outstanding interoperability.

Interoperability for better clinical data management

Our interoperability solution facilitates easy integration of B. Braun pumps into electronic medical record (EMR) and patient data management system (PDMS) via the hospital’s IT network. DoseLink^plus, the new interoperability solution operating through theOnlineSuite^plusplatform, uses standardized HL7/IHE protocols for patient care devices and allows bi-directional communication⁴with the Space^plusInfusomat and Perfusor.

The System provides:

AutoDocumentation for real-time communication of both infusion and device-related data plus alarm information
AutoProgramming⁴ of the pump with the right medication, right dose, right time and right route for the right patient(all verified by the EMR system via barcode scanning)

Faithful to our mission of providing advanced interoperability solutions, we continue to work on future-oriented standards such as Service-oriented Device Connectivity⁵(SDC, according to IEEE 11073) to enable new applications and solutions.

Interoperability in health care made easy with DoseLink^plus interface

Encrypted communication enables data security

With its integrated OnlineSuite^plus backend solution, the Space^plus infusion pump system provides secure, bi-directional communication with the pumps. This enables state-of-the-art remote update management, including device configuration and software deployment.

At the same time, the connection to the OnlineSuite^plusis the basis for powerful and standard-conform connectivity to third-party systems using the HL7 interface App DoseLink^plus. The DoseLink^plus

app enables bi-directional delivery of pump data to multiple endpoints and ensures that no information is lost through its use of secure, encrypted, end-to-end data transmission within the hospital network.

Count on a winning partnership

As one of the global leaders in health care, B. Braun partners with all major EMR/PDMS providers to define and implement tailored solutions that address your specific needs. Our open, supportive and trustful teamwork is the foundation for bringing ideas and innovations to life and delivering patient-centric interoperability.

We know the only way to address the challenges of hospital digitalization is working closely together, not only as a health care provider but as a trustworthy partner.

Whitepaper

Reliable and precise infusion pump interoperability

Challenged by the task of integrating your infusion pumps to your EMR/PDMS? Confused about the acronyms like IHE, HL7 or PCD?

I want to integrate infusion pump data with my EMR system. How can this be done?
I’ve heard about IHE and HL7, but I need more details. What exactly does this all mean?
I need to know which PCD functions I can use and what data I can share.
How can our system benefit from AutoDocumentation and AutoProgramming?
