• Horizon Enterprise Visibility


Horizon Enterprise Visibility™ is the industry’s first enterprise patient care visibility system, a new category of health IT that uses visual controls to deliver real-time, at-a-glance information that puts everyone involved in the care process on the same page. Horizon Enterprise Visibility gives the people most able to impact patient flow visibility into the many processes that can delay clinical decisions and care delivery.

Information aggregated from clinical, ADT, environmental services, transporter and other systems is displayed against the hospital’s floor plan on large electronic whiteboards so caregivers can quickly identify patients with orders pending or critical lab results, patient locations and wait times, and discharge status and room availability.

Horizon Enterprise Visibility complements departmental tracking boards, bed management systems, RFID and other location systems, extending the value of those investments and streamlining the patient flow process.
