[[Dr.Graham Hughes,Chief Medical Officer & Vice President of Product Strategy for GE Healthcare's Enterprise IT Solutions division.]

[Good morning, my name is Dr. Graham Hughes]

[I'm Product Marketing Leader for Healthcare Information Technology within the GE]

[Healthcare Division, and today we're announcing an exiciting]

[new product, which is a ]

[breakthrough, real-time, decision-support solution]

[for doctors and hospitals--which is part of GE's ]

[Healthymagination commitment.]

[The new solution puts real-time clinical data]

[and treatment options directly in doctor's]

[hands at the point of care. ]

[This breakthrough technology was developed]

[in collaboration with Intermountain Health Care and ]

[Mayo Clinic leveraging Intermountain's 3 decades of clinical]

[informatics experience and ]

[puts best practice clinical]

[information into the hands of ]

[doctors, speeding the time for ]

[clinical research to become available]

[to them at the point of care. ]

[Today, what I'm going to do is to show you a very brief demonstration of that technology.]

[What you'll notice as I look at the ]

[application that I've logged into, ]

[I have a list of patients in front of me.]

[First of all, as a doctor about to round, ]

[I'm looking at all the patients that I'm going to be rounding on today. ]

[What you'll notice, as well, on this]

[list is that there's also an area that I call my ]

[tray, which is a list of other patients that I may choose to access.]

[In this case, I'm looking at my patients ]

[I'm about to round on today, but I also have a list of my ]

[cardiac patients and I will show you that in a minute. ]

[Up at the top of the screen, I have a little area called the scoreboard]

[I'd like to draw your attention to, which shows me alerts and]

[notifications and reminders--which is any variance from the ]

[treatment patterns that we have set as best practices.]

[I'm being notified or alerted to up there]

[within that scoreboard area. ]

[Within this multi-patient view of my patients ]

[I'm about to round on, notice, as we look for patient]

[Herman Hope, is I have trends and patterns]

[that I can see, both in vital signs, ]

[as well as lab tests, imaging, and so forth.]

[If I click or hover in any particular area I can ]

[click and look at details of ]

[other x-rays or details of lab results.]

[And you'll notice here that I already am reading, being identified, that]

[one of my patients has an out-of-range lab test that I need to ]

[pay attention to immediately. ]

[Let me click over quickly to my cardiac patients. ]

[As I do that, what I have is a list that is being refreshed]

[in real-time showing all of my cardiac patients]

[who've been admitted with chest pain.]

[And what I'm tracking here are standards of care]

[that are provided at a national level]

[for the best practices for treating patients]

[with acute coronary syndrome or ]

[chest pain and suspected myocardial infarctional heart attack. ]

[What you'll notice in this case is ]

[that I have a slightly different view, but I have timers]

[tracking the patients time to treatment, ]

[so are they getting the right medications on admission?]

[Which medications have they had and how quickly?]

[Do I have my appropriate cardiac markers?]

[Have I had the right investigations, ]

[such as EKGs, and are the]

[patients getting the right medications on discharge?]

[As I click through on James Small, ]

[what I get is an expanded window that we call the inspector. ]

[And here, I get a number of insights,]

[which are being generated from]

[evaluation of the patient data against]

[the guidelines imbedded within the system. ]

[So not only do I get recommendations as to certain types of ]

[treatment patterns that are available, but I also]

[get access to click through into the protocols themselves. ]

[I can click through and look at]

[the particular recommendations that I have within the order]

[sets or the care process models that are]

[being provided. ]

[And in summary, what lies in the background here]

[is advanced decision support capability that has been developed]

[over the past few years, and the ]

[end result is that patients everywhere will benefit]

[from current treatment options. ]

[Prior to this development, the flow of information from bench ]

[to bedside through traditional means of medical journal publication, ]

[continuing education classes, and symposium, you could take upwards ]

[of 17 years, and now we're making this]

[available to the point of care in real-time. ]

[We're very excited to share this information with you.]

[Thank you very much for your time today. ]
