KLAS Report Reveals PeriGen’s Distinct Progress in Perinatal Decision Support Surveillance Technology
PRINCETON, NJ–(Marketwired – Sep 23, 2013) – PeriGen today announced that its real-time perinatal clinical decision support (CDS) surveillance capabilities were underscored by KLAS Enterprises, LLC as demonstrating the most progress among companies that develop software applications specific to the hospital Labor & Delivery (L&D) department.
The KLAS report released Aug. 6th titled “CDS Surveillance 2013: Impacting Outcomes” states: “When asked about CDS surveillance capabilities, most L&D providers showed little progress, excepting PeriGen.”
PeriGen software user comments include:
- “The actionable alerts in PeriGen can be an annoyance to a seasoned physician, but at the same time, they can be incredibly valuable. Because of the alerts, we have caught some important things in a timely way.”
- “PeriGen provides a rule book that says if A happens, then B, C, and D will be the plan. If we need to tweak anything in the rule book, we can do that. It is very helpful.”
The PeriGen’s PeriCALM® Plus™ complete perinatal charting and fetal monitoring system includes PeriCALM® Tracings™, PeriCALM Patterns™ and PeriCALM Curve™. PeriCALM Patterns is the only fetal strip interpretation technology that is validated by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Together, these solutions support and empower obstetrics clinicians in delivering optimal care of mothers and their babies at the bedside.
PeriGen solutions also interface seamlessly with a variety of market leading enterprise-wide electronic health record (EHR) systems including Computer Programs and Systems, Inc., MEDITECH, Allscripts’ Sunrise, GE Healthcare’s Centricity Enterprise, Epic and the Epic Stork, the OB/GYN module for Epic.
“Hospitals and health systems recognize the superiority of our evidence-based fetal monitoring and surveillance technology and ease of interfacing with leading EHR enterprise systems,” said Matthew Sappern, PeriGen’s CEO. “The KLAS study validates that providers today are looking for companies like PeriGen, the market’s gold standard in delivering decision support perinatal solutions, to improve their OB patient care and safety, and to help ensure sustainability with long-term EHR deployment plans.”
