Getting Started

When assessing your patient or settling a new admit, log in to the EHR as normal.

Then, log in to CalmWave by going to your browser and clicking the following button:

You’ll see the following screen, where you will use your WorkDay login to access CalmWave via single sign on (SSO):

Please check CalmWave every 2 hours or during each patient assessment for recommended setting updates. The circle with a number in it signals there is a CalmWave recommendation for that patient.

If you were in the EHR of the patient in 307, for example, and there is a CalmWave vital sign monitor setting recommendation, the screen will look like this:

You will only receive a recommendation when you’re in a specific patient’s chart. For example, you won’t receive a recommendation for the patient in 308 while taking care of the patient in 307.

CalmWave will never make a Vital Sign change recommendation that’s outside of the physician’s orders. For example, if the order states that titrate dopamine should have a SBP of greater than 90, then CalmWave will never recommend an alarm limit for an SBP of 89.

Understanding CalmWave’s Recommendations

Click inside the navy blue box to see the patient’s data:

First, select your desired “Lookback” Time. The selected timeframe will be applied to all the vital signs.

In this example, the patient has received IV Sedation, Blood Products, Diuretics, Hemodynamic Support, and IV Fluid medications in the last 12 hours.

Click on the farthest right green square inside the vital sign graph to see CalmWave’s rationale for the most current recommendation.

Here is where the current Upper and Lower Heart Rate limit is set, along the patient data that supports the new CalmWave Recommendation (CWO).

Now that you’ve seen the Vital Sign data, you can accept the CalmWave recommendation for APBD, adjust the monitor, and click “done”.

Clicking on the green box reveals CalmWave’s 5 Safety Gates.

CalmWave will never make a Recommendation unless all five safety gates are met.
