You're on the Front Line of Population Health
In a complex healthcare system, physician's offices represent the first line of defense against the health issues patients face today. Discover how we're working to help you manage chronic conditions and identify risk factors early - so you can support better outcomes for your patients and your practice.
Enhanced Physical Examinations
You’re always elevating patient care — and the tools you rely on every day play significant roles in that effort. Try our latest technology for the eye and ear exam and connected patient monitors that help you capture critical vital signs. We designed our portfolio of physical examination tools to help you:
- Advance your eye and ear examinations with our next-generation, wide-view LED ophthalmoscopes and otoscopes
- Quickly and accurately capture temperature readings with our ear and oral/axillary/rectal thermometers
- Keep the diagnostic tools you need within arm's reach with integrated wall systems
Simple, Connected Cardiopulmonary Testing
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the US - and COPD and stroke both rank in the top five. You need simple, streamlined ECG test workflows to help you shorten the path to diagnosis and treatment for cardiopulmonary disease. Our ECG solutions are designed to help you:
- Tap into specialist-level features designed for the physician's office
- Choose from a variety of communication methods - including WiFi and DICOM - with our EMR-connected ECGs
- Keep reimbursable procedures in house, helping maximize your return on investment
Precise Hypertension Management
Hypertension is a leading cause of cardiovascular death in the US.8 46% of American adults have high blood pressure.9 You need blood pressure readings you can rely on, inside and outside your office. That’s where we come in. See how our Welch Allyn vital signs devices, automated blood pressure monitors and home blood pressure monitoring solutions can help you:
- Identify hypertension with accurate, automated and averaged blood pressure readings in your office
- Be confident when diagnosing hypertension with multiple readings inside and outside your office
- Inform your hypertension management with clinician-connected, self-measured blood pressure monitoring
Sight-Saving Pediatric Vision Screening
Vision disability is the single most prevalent disabling condition among children.4 The AAP recommends instrument-based vision screening as early as 12 months of age, if available.5 Yet 90% of pediatricians are not doing automated childhood vision screening.6 Get to know our Welch Allyn Spot Vision Screener, and see how it can help you quickly and easily detect vision disorders in children — helping to improve sight and prevent blindness.
- Work efficiently by capturing an image of both eyes in seconds
- Improve financial outcomes with reimbursable instrument-based vision screening7
- Standardize on a fast, objective and consistent approach to pediatric vision screening across your healthcare network
Accessible Diabetic Retinal Exams
37 million Americans are living with diabetes,10 and up to 80% of them will develop some stage of diabetic retinopathy.11 With early detection, up to 95% of vision loss from diabetic retinopathy is preventable12 — yet documented compliance with annual retinal exams is often only 60%.11
Discover how the Welch Allyn RetinaVue care delivery model is making diabetic retinal eye exams simple and affordable for primary care providers, helping you:
- Intercept patients during primary care office visits — helping to achieve up to 90% documented compliance within one year13
- Inform care planning, delivery, coverage and quality measure (HEDIS) performance with accurate documentation14
- Improve financial outcomes with reimbursable retinal exams15 and improved quality measure performance14
