Qi Control
Intelligent management and monitoring of hospital infrastructure
Challenges
The hospital environment has huge challenges in managing its infrastructure and equipment. The medical gases network is composed of several subsystems subject to failure that compromises patients' safety.
It is impossible to manifest such a critical operation manually. The sudden increase in medicinal gases consumption, breaking equipment by operation outside the factory recommended, dynamic resizing of supply systems, and unnecessary or emergency maintenance, are just some examples of situations that can generate risks such as:
- Risk to life of patients;
- Inefficiency and unnecessary expenses;
- Legal processes due to lack of inputs or interrupted procedures;
- Lack of operation documentation for inspections, audits and legal defenses;
- Difficulty in making a decision due to the absence of historical data.
To solve the problem, Above-Net has signed an exclusive partnership with White Martins, and launched Qi Control, an intelligent hospital infrastructure IOT monitoring solution.
Qi Control
Qi Control enables the intelligent management of a hospital infrastructure, providing information on the operating conditions of the central and networks, correlating measurements and generating real -time alarms of adverse situations, such as failures or possible wear of a hospital operation.
Main features
From the intuitive interface to the integration capacity with any existing equipment or system, Qi Control is designed to solve all the problems of the hospital operational and maintenance team
Intelligent rules and fault prediction
Qi Control intelligence allows you to create rules, maximum alarms, minimums, increases and reductions in consumption, increase or reduce variation rate and even calculated functions based on real -time information collected.
The combination and crossing of this information makes Qi Control unique allowing the monitoring and intelligent control of the operation.
Supervision Diagrams
Qi Control has a supervision diagrams online configurator that allows the configuration of monitoring elements overlapping to illustrations, isometric diagrams and even location images indicating the origin and immediate visualization of the measurement or attention to the problem detected by the system.
Trends and maintenance under condition
Qi Control analyzes and compares the operation of the operation with normality standards and warns those responsible autonomously indicating critical actions to restore the normal condition of use.
Intelligent Document Repository
Qi Control stores and controls the salary of all documentation of each system or equipment monitored in various formats. In addition to indexing and intelligent information search, the platform allows viewing by location, timeline or tables to increase efficiency in access to information.
Alarms
Smart alarms send notifications via app to maintenance teams informing about a pre -calculated trend or condition, eventually anticipating an appropriate intervention failure in the equipment.
This function aims to optimize maintenance activities, allowing greater infrastructure availability, reducing costs, and increasing the safety of patients and professionals.
Disconnect Monitoring
The platform monitors the state of connection with all remote systems and equipment ensuring accurate information to the maintenance team. In case of loss of connection, the responsible team receives a notification to take the appropriate measures.
Integration with other systems
Qi Control allows integration with existing ERPs for advanced calculations such as medium consumption per patient or with Command Center to share information from the equipment and the hospital's medicinal gas network.
Autonomous notifications
Unlike other systems, Qi Control is independent of human monitoring to verify alarms and adverse conditions. The authorized clinical engineering team receives in real time notifcations on mobile or tablet through the app. In case of need, the system has web access to verify the situation in detail.
Control and notifications via app
Qi Control app is practical and easy to use. On the main screen are the active or recent alarms of all monitored locations in the hospitals network.
When clicking on the alarm or equipment, all alarms and parameters listed by boundary criticism order are displayed. Thus the technician has immediate access to information that may impact the short -term operation.
In addition to the quantitative information of the parameters, the application has real time vision of supervision diagrams, trend charts and documentation repository to monitor maintenance.
Control via web
Qi Control offers dashboards for control and monitoring of all hospital infrastructure.
Through an intuitive interface and simple usability, the system offers on a main page panels of intelligent alarms in real time listed by priority. In another option, you can search the hospital from the network or monitored equipment through a Google style search or by location on the map.
By detailing any equipment the system is capable of monitoring simple, accumulated parameters and still providing custom calculations of functions with its repetitions alarms and notifications.
In the graphics section, historical information can be crossed from any system parameter, export them to diverse formats, and generate instant reports.
Benefits of Qi Control
Continuous intelligent monitoring with notifications allows anticipating problems by increasing the reliability of the operation
The configuration of intelligent alarms based on the conditions allowed by manufacturers specifications allows operation within ideal limits avoiding damage, unexpected stops and unnecessary maintenance.
The responsible clinical or maintenance engineering team receives autonomous and dierected notifications with information, readings and indication of the failure point. With access to documentation, the process is agile, centralized and tracked.
Hospital infrastructure coasting monitoring allows us to perform maintenance under the real condition of the equipment (CBM). Thus, less used equipment that has good performance has their postponement maintenance, while equipment that has anomalies before periodic revisions will have their early revisions. The resumption is the reduction of unnecessary maintenance and operating cost.
The flexibility of Qi Control allows the capture of information from any equipment, communication protocol or sensor, whatever the type of parameter, allowing full optimization of information in a structured way. Clinical engineering can have instant access to critical data for operation.
Qi Control monitors central reserve oxygen and medicinal air. In addition to notifying when using the centrals, the system calculates the necessary sizing according to the average consumption of recent months, thus ensuring the adequacy of operational standards.
Unlike any other monitoring system, Qi Control is able to notify the 24 × 7 maintenance team without human intervention or need to monitor dashboards. From the simple operational degradation of the equipment or system, Qi Control comes into action.
From the collection of reliable data performed by Qi Control, decision making can be based on the analysis of operational historical data.
The data collected by Qi Control is structured contributing to obtaining quality certifications and to the consolidation of the 100% digital hospital.
Qi Control can store documents from facilities or monitored equipment that is available to the maintenance team via app or web access. Plants, manuals, diagrams, structural calculations, photos, certifications and inspections (with salary warnings) are just some of the possible examples of storage.
