Palliative care needs are increasing and becoming more complex

Outcome measurement plays a major role in improving the quality, efficiency and availability of palliative care. Measuring these changes and causes in a patient’s health over time can help service providers focus on learning and improving the quality of services.

A Reflection of Body Cell Mass & Indicators of Cell Membrane Function

Maltron touch i8 is a non-invasive monitor for measuring and benchmarking the morbidity and expected life span of clinical patients. It is an excellent marker of malnutrition and independent prognostic indicator in cancer patients reflecting the integrity of vital cell membranes.

Visual Graphic Target Indicators Managing Key Parameters

Clinicians can now assess patients quickly and safely in order to help predict disease progression and patient life expectancy, independent of traditional markers. BioScan touch i8 visual graphic target indicators, facilitates compliance, helping the user to track and manage key parameters. The target indicators allows the tracking of how long the patient has been within target range during an active tracking session.

Regular testing can help in predicting mortality risk and providing quantitative guidance for decision making both in clinical settings and in community care. Biomarker reflects the relative contributions of fluid and cellular membranes of the human body. Lower Biomarker suggests cell death or decreased cell integrity, while higher Biomarker suggests large quantities of intact cell membranes. Falling levels in Biomarker should alert clinicians to the need of therapy or palliative care.

It’s also an indicator of a healthy metabolism, BCM or Bio-cellular mass. More and more people live with chronic disease towards the end of their life. Outcome measures help to record these changes over time against the patient’s baseline health status.
