Announcing Ordr 8.2 - The Most Comprehensive Single Source of Truth for Connected Devices Read more here!

We’re collaborating with GE HealthCare to help enhance clinical network performance, efficiency and security for healthcare providers.

Healthcare providers rely on a wide range of network-connected devices to improve patient care and enhance clinician productivity, but are struggling with:

  • Lack of visibility into device status, such as determining which devices are in-use, identifying new devices, or devices not yet registered in their asset inventory database;
  • Monitoring and troubleshooting devices impacted by communications or performance issues;
  • Lack of accurate device data (OS, software version, etc.,) to assess risks, manage vulnerabilities, and implement mitigations;
  • Locating mobile and portable devices, with many organizations spending almost an hour per person per shift searching for equipment in need of a service action

GE HealthCare’s service offering for CARESCAPE patient monitoring networks harnesses the power of the Ordr platform to help you address top challenges in self-managing and securing clinical assets.

Why Ordr and GE HealthCare Collaboration

“Empowering biomedical technicians,  clinical engineers, and hospital IT with easy-to-use tools aimed at improving self-managed network security, productivity, and equipment uptime is key to enhancing critical patient care.” said Alla K. Woodson, GE HealthCare’s Global GM, Patient Care Solutions – Services & Consumables. “This network performance and security solution brings together the technology and scale of our two organizations to help ensure that our customers have visibility and access to actionable insights.”

“Hospitals and healthcare facilities rely on GE HealthCare’s CARESCAPE networks to host critical patient care devices. It is of the utmost importance that these networks—and everything connected to them—remain secure and operating at peak efficiency,” added Jim Hyman, CEO of Ordr. “The deep integration of the Ordr platform with the GE HealthCare CARESCAPE network will help give healthcare organizations comprehensive clinical asset visibility, security and performance capabilities they need to optimize and protect their environment of care.”
