Frost & Sullivan recognized Ascom’s vendor-neutral Medical Device Integration (MDI) platform, Digistat, that integrates bedside medical devices to collect data and events. The platform adapts and integrates with any vendor’s medical device through a variety of interfaces. They also noted Ascom’s intelligent alarm filtering capabilities with its Unite workflow orchestration platform. Together, these clinical workflow solutions can help address some of the key challenges nurses identify as negatives in their jobs. In a recent Ascom study, nearly 60 percent of nurses identified technology as playing a key role in their decision to take a job and in helping them do their job. In addition to increasing the time nurses directly spend with patients, technology can aid in proactive care, giving clinicians a practice “safety net” to anticipate, recognize, and intervene before a sentinel event occurs.

“The Frost & Sullivan Award is a great testimonial of our agility and strategy in creating value in digitizing workflows across healthcare systems,” said Nicolas Vanden Abeele, CEO of Ascom. “Our clinical workflow solutions Ascom Healthcare Platform (AHP) fit the need for digitalization by giving customers a global, open and flexible architecture to expand upon and integrate with their existing systems and applications.”
