CritiTrac iOS Application Recognized with FutureEdge 50 Award

ChristanaCare’s CritiTrac iOS application, which supports real-time documentation during a Code Blue emergency, has been recognized with a 2020 FutureEdge 50 Award from IDG’s CIO.

A Code Blue is when a hospital care team rapidly responds to resuscitate a person in cardiac arrest. CritiTrac is designed to reduce variability, better coordinate care delivery and improve data collection during Code Blue events. Developed at ChristianaCare’s Health & Technology Innovation Center, the iPad app is designed to be standard equipment on ChristianaCare’s Code Blue resuscitation carts, which are pre-staged throughout the hospital to ensure readiness for Code Blue events.

Through the iPad app, signoff is done electronically, and caregiver and patient identification is performed using bar code scanning with the built-in camera.

The FutureEdge 50 award is given to organizations pushing the edge with new technologies to advance their business for the future.

The FutureEdge 50 award is another example of how ChristianaCare is a digital leader in health care.
