The implementation of CareAware VitalsLink on Welch Allyn mobile devices enables the electronic capture of patient vital signs and their seamless integration into the electronic health record (EHR).

This initiative will be deployed in phases across all member organizations, with this representing Phase 1 of the rollout.
As part of the workflow, clinical staff will scan their employee badge and the patient’s ID bracelet prior to obtaining vital signs to ensure accurate patient identification and proper documentation.

NOTE:  Badge Barcode scanning access is required to use this workflow. Users who do not have badge scanning capability (Travelers, International nurses, Student nurses, and anyone with a second sign on) should proceed using their existing workflow by tapping Continue Without Login.

WHY: To support safer, more efficient patient care by improving the accuracy and timeliness of vital sign documentation.

CareAware VitalsLink on Welch Allyn mobile devices reduces manual entry, minimizes documentation errors, and streamlines bedside workflows by automatically integrating patient vital signs into the electronic health record allowing clinicians to spend more time focused on patient care.
