Telstra Health launches enhanced Kyra Flow capabilities for hospital and health services

Telstra Health has introduced new features in the latest version of Kyra Flow, its patient capacity and demand solution for hospitals.

The latest version integrates with Medtasker to streamline hospital tasks. It includes an uplift of Bed Management View, and enhancements for the seamless importing of IQ notes from emergency departments (ED) to inpatient wards as well as actionable operational insights for proactive decision support.

Telstra Health’s Head of Hospital Care, Chris Norton, said the latest release enables care providers to improve patient safety and increase hospital efficiency, while providing near real-time business intelligence insights to understand and optimise operational performance and patient flow.

“The integration with Medtasker provides built-in escalation pathways that ensure the right task gets to the right clinician the first time, provides notifications to clinicians of results to review, and supports tasks across devices from tablets to smartphones.

“We’ve listened to our customers and delivered an uplift to the Bed Management View, providing a new real-time dashboard view with new functionality providing a birds-eye view of every bed utilisation in the hospital or health service.

“Through the IQ Notes Import enhancement we’re better enabling connectivity across the hospital care setting, assisting Kyra Flow users to manage patient information across multiple admissions thereby enhancing patient care and the clinician experience.

“Kyra Flow’s enhanced Business Intelligence Solution provides the ability to understand operational performance in the same platform as clinical safety information, to enhance patient care and optimise patient flow while preventing information leakage.

New features and integrations:

• Medtasker integration to streamline hospital tasks, ensure timely patient care coordination, enhance safety, and foster seamless collaboration among clinical staff.
• Bed Management View Uplift to optimise bed management effortlessly. Track utilisation, save time, and streamline operations for better patient care.
• IQ Notes Import to effortlessly transfer patient information by seamlessly integrating IQ notes from the ED to the Inpatient Ward, fostering collaboration and improving decision-making.
• Enhanced Business Intelligence Solution to unlock operational insights by gaining near real-time data, proactive decision support, and prevent information leakage for seamless hospital operations.

Kyra Flow provides hospitals with patient flow information drawing from elective, emergency and other compatible hospital systems and is used by private and public hospital providers Australia-wide. Kyra Flow is part of Telstra Health’s Kyra digital hospital platform, which connects hospitals to the health ecosystem and supports clinical teams to deliver safe, high quality care and positive patient experiences.
