About Philips

Together, Philips and Netsmart are providing tools that help clinicians deliver better care in their communities. To meet the growing demand for comprehensive, high-fidelity, live-streaming data, hospitals and health systems need a strong and flexible information infrastructure. Philips’ vendor-neutral medical device integration (MDI) advances connectivity beyond the EMR, sharing data with various destination systems to power display, documentation, clinical surveillance, intelligent decision making and research.

The Philips MDI solution is a suite of products and services designed to tackle obstacles such as device-specific connectivity protocols, security challenges across the organization, and slow adoption of industry-wide, standards-based interoperability. This results in the simplification of complex clinical workflows by making medical device data available to destination systems for documenting, reporting, analyzing and, ultimately, making critical decisions.

Philips Medical Device Integration solution is deployed in more than 3,000 healthcare facilities across nearly forty countries, supporting healthcare providers in leveraging their medical device data. By collaborating with Netsmart, a leading provider of software and technology solutions for community-based healthcare in the U.S., the partnership presents a unique ability to extend across communities and service lines, particularly in post-acute care such as inpatient rehabilitation and skilled nursing facilities.
