Healthcare Technology and News: HCL Unveils ACE SmartCare Solution to Improve Patient Care


HCL Technologies, a global IT services provider, announced the launch of its Active Care Excellence (ACE) SmartCare Clinical Decision Support solution.

The ACE solution was launched at the HiMSS Conference in Orlando.

ACE SmartCare is a patient-centered, real-time care management solution that improves patient care as soon as patients arrive at the hospital. The patient care can be improved through automated, continuous clinical surveillance and care measures delivered via alerts to physicians at the point of care, company officials said.

 “With HCL's extensive knowledge in the healthcare space and its continuous drive to create innovative solutions for its customers, ACE SmartCare will play an important part in transforming the way healthcare professionals work and provide patient care,” said Pradeep Nair, senior vice president of the Healthcare Practice at HCL, in a statement.

“Our research and feedback from customers and prospects affirm that no product or solution in the market helped providers meet critical measures and compliance requirements, until ACE SmartCare,” Nair added.

This kind of care and compliance results in significant savings for health care provider organizations. Healthcare providers are under pressure to increase patient-centered care while monitoring for evidence-based medicine interventions and core-measure compliance. ACE SmartCare uses automation to reduce some of the pressures faced by healthcare providers.

“ACE SmartCare is a breakthrough Clinical Decision Support solution that ensures that quality measures are met and evidence-based medicine is practiced at Orlando Health,” said Rick Schooler, CIO of Orlando Health, in a statement. “Working with HCL on ACE SmartCare will directly enhance our business by improving the efficiency and quality of care delivery.”

Recently, HCL Technologies announced that it signed a multi-year end-to-end IT Infrastructure Management engagement with Purdue Pharma, a pharmaceutical company. The scope of this engagement covers management of two data centers and all remote locations of the client in the U.S.
