Biosurveillance in the ED

When every minute counts

Picis Biosurveillance is a powerful tool available within the ED PulseCheck® emergency department information system (EDIS). A trend identification and reporting system, Biosurveillance uses emergency department data to help identify epidemiological trends and potential disease clusters in a given population or region. Ideal for use by hospitals or hospital groups, Biosurveillance proactively provides the information needed for better preparedness and appropriate resource management.

An important early-warning and response system in the battle against disease outbreak, biological and chemical threats, and other emergencies, Biosurveillance can help you better prepare for public health events — such as heat waves, respiratory prodromes and gastroenteritis — that can result in a shortage of patient care resources. Without requiring any additional work on the part of your medical staff, Biosurveillance delivers a host of advanced features including automatic notifications to key personnel, GIS-based interactive mapping and real-time business intelligence information.
