Patient Information Center iX (PIC iX)
Central monitoring system
PIC iX is an integral part of the Philips enterprise monitoring ecosystem, spanning high-, mid-, low and specialty acuity settings. It enables patient data to flow throughout these care areas by bringing in data from Philips and non-Philips devices across care settings. You can streamline workflows by helping clinicians to detect and respond to patient changes wherever they are in the hospital and protecting the security of patient data via stringent medical industry standards. PIC iX integrates into your existing infrastructure so you can standup a new unit in less time and be prepared for future changes in care delivery. And since scalability and flexibility is critical to your operations, we offer a remote, device operational management solution, enabling IT and biomed technicians to improve system uptime and track performance.

Features
Secure data where care takes place
We incorporate a risk-based defense-in-depth security approach to support data integrity and confidentiality. User authentication and authorization protect against unauthorized access to patient information and configuration changes. PIC iX supports role-based access options and permissions, thus limiting who has access to certain functions. User authentication can be entered manually or with Imprivata Single Sign On. PIC iX is a hardened system using the US DoD Security Technical Implementation Guides for operating systems, SQL, .NET and Internet Explorer.
Harness the power of your clinical data
PIC iX provides a 360-degree view of patient condition combining data from both Philips and non-Philips devices, helping you make informed diagnosis and treatment decisions. Our Philips Medical Device Integration solutions provide the foundation for device connectivity. We aim to reduce technical obstacles to integration, such as device-specific connectivity protocols and the security challenges across organizational systems for viewing, documenting, reporting, analyzing and decision-making. This approach supports a Philips monitoring ecosystem and/or a vendor-neutral connectivity environment.
Redundancy to help your system stay up and running
Our Enterprise Link deployment model has built in redundancy, which can potentially increase uptime. By removing multi-casting requirements, moving the data acquisition part of PIC iX to the data center and enabling virtualization, we have created an environment that allows almost uninterrupted monitoring on the clinical unit. This also can preserve sending data to the EMR when a disruption occurs.
