Continuous Patient Monitoring System

Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center is seeking proposals for a comprehensive telemetry and patient monitoring solution that supports physiologic monitoring across inpatient care areas and integrates with the EHR, including Altera Sunrise Clinical Manager, and clinical communication platforms. The solution should provide continuous bedside monitoring, telemetry monitoring, centralized surveillance, and mobile alarm notification. Vendors may propose an integrated platform that combines bedside and telemetry monitoring capabilities or separate solutions that collectively meet all requirements. The proposed solution should include the following components: Bedside Physiological Monitoring The proposed solution will support 140 monitored beds across nine inpatient nursing units. For each monitored bed, vendors shall propose bedside monitors capable of continuous monitoring of Masimo SET® SpO₂, respiration rate, noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP), temperature, and 5-lead ECG. A larger display screen at the beside is preferred. Available portable or patient-worn monitoring options that maintain continuity of monitoring during patient ambulation and transport. Telemetry Monitoring Telemetry monitoring devices, including portable telemetry transmitters, wearable monitoring devices, or other patient-worn technologies capable of monitoring ECG, heart rate, respiration, and SpO₂ for monitoring up to 32 telemetry patients. Centralized Monitoring and Surveillance The solution shall provide centralized monitoring capabilities, including: Central monitoring stations for each inpatient nursing unit that support continuous surveillance, alarm management, and full-disclosure waveform review. A centralized telemetry monitoring station capable of monitoring up to 32 telemetry patients simultaneously across multiple nursing units. If If telemetry surveillance is provided through the same platform as bedside monitoring, the system must support a dedicated telemetry view that allows users to filter and display only patients with active telemetry orders. Alarm Management and Mobile Notification The solution shall provide alarm management functionality, including mobile notification, alarm routing, alarm acknowledgment, escalation workflows, and support for audible alerts on designated communication devices. System Requirements: 1. The solution should consolidate bedside monitoring, centralized telemetry surveillance, and mobile alerting into a single, interoperable platform. The primary objectives include patient safety, alarm reduction, reliability, cybersecurity, and operational efficiency. 2. Rowsell’s goals are to: Enhance clinical safety through reliable detection of physiological deterioration and rapid notification to care teams. Reduce alarm fatigue via intelligent alarm management, prioritization, and analytics. Provide seamless patient handoffs between bedside, telemetry, transport, and procedures with no data loss. Integrate vitals/waveforms and alarm events with the EMR and clinical communication platforms. Ensure high availability, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance. Deliver measurable outcomes in alarm reduction, response times, and throughput (discharge/transport readiness). Deliverables: Bedside monitoring hardware, modules, accessories, and related software. Telemetry transmitters, receivers, packs, batteries, chargers, and licensing. Central monitoring stations, including hardware and software. Mobile alarm notification middleware, mobile applications, and associated licenses. Integration with EMR and clinical communication platforms. Implementation, project management, testing, validation, training, and go-live support. Warranty, maintenance, SLA support, software upgrades, and lifecycle management. Commitment to support the proposed solution for a minimum of ten (10) years. Bidders are advised to carefully review and consider the RFP requirements before submitting their proposal responses; all as further set forth in this RFP. .
