Enterprise Monitoring as a Service (EMaaS)
Standardized patient monitoring with management and performance improvement services via per-patient fee model.
Operating in a complex healthcare system requires tradeoffs. Maintaining the highest care standards while treating more patients and retaining critical staff without increasing costs are important, but difficult to achieve without sacrifice.If you introduce new, more advanced monitoring technology, do you have the resources you need to drive adoption; train and educate staff; and improve interoperability? In five years, will you be faced with the same questions?
OpEx spend aligned with patient volume for greater predictability and value
EMaaS provides patient monitoring hardware, software, accessories and infrastructure together with associated training, support and services all as part of an agreed upon per-patient fee over a multi-year service term. The fee is based on patient volume and acuity and paid for as an operating expense.
Predictability without tradeoffs
Accessing patient monitoring capabilities as an operating expense frees organizations from the cycle of compromise inherent in other purchasing models. Without the burden of life cycle management and unexpected costs and fees, care systems can realize the full potential of their patient monitoring capabilities while advancing additional strategic priorities.

What the EMaaS consumption-based delivery model means for care systems:
- 1. A comprehensive service based on performance and business outcomes
-
Not a lease with related finance charges.
- 2. A reduction in capital costs associated with technology purchases as spend shifts to operational costs
-
Philips owns and manages the monitoring system throughout its lifecycle; updates and upgrades are implemented on an ongoing basis.
- 3. Predictable spend with all necessary capabilities, including education and future-proofing, incorporated into the per patient fee
-
No unexpected costs or incremental capital investment to maintain value.
- 4. Consumption-based financial model means pay for what you use; the per-patient fee is determined by patient volume and census
-
Billing beings with the clinical go-live of the first monitored patient and system usage.
- 5. Payment is based on a fee per patient per day by acuity
-
Acuity pricing accounts for low, mid, high, telemetry, in-patient, out-patient monitoring needs.
- 6. Flexibility and modularity to meet changing needs over life of partnership
-
Evolves with organizations - changes in care sites, clinical focus, per-unit needs, patient population mix.
