Bon Secours Hospital Tralee has become the latest site to go live with the GE HealthCare Centricity™ High Acuity Anaesthesia solution, implemented using the 80%-ready Irish Standard Configuration (CISC). OxygenCares Jessica Redmond Kelly Clinical Application Specialist worked closely with Nichola O'Connell Falvey to create ‘Bon Secours- specific’ local configurations. Collaborative teamwork led to a smooth installation, with the system passing all ITIL test phases successfully.
Bon Secours are also launching “Bons Connect” (Meditech Expanse) with bidirectional interfaces, both systems will coexist seamlessly, supporting five hospitals across Ireland on a single integrated platform.
Key features include:
- GE Centricity™ High Acuity Anaesthesia Solution is an MDR certified deep-clinical software solution.
- Automatic population of device data from anaesthetic machines, monitors, BIS, and multiple vendors.
- Auto-capture of Target Controlled Infusion (TCI) and Total Intravenous - Anaesthesia (TIVA) data (5 data points captured ~ once per minute (Data: Cpt, Cp, Cet, Ce, Infusion rate, Total volume/amount administered).
- Generation of the anaesthetic records, ingested into Bons Connect.
- Reported by users as the most intuitive system.
- MARS (Medication administration recording system) interface to go-live in the coming months ensuring all drugs & fluids given in theatre/recovery are updated on Bons Connect.
The official unveiling at Bon Secours Tralee was supported by OxygenCare’s Liam Hutchinson, alongside Dr. Michael Gill, Dr. Shanmnga Ramaswamy, Agnes Shaww (CNM2), Nicola O’Connell Falvey, and Conor O’Driscoll.
