[ PRODUCTS / CCIS ]
In daily use since 2022
Critical Care Informatics System
Live vitals, lab results and notes in one structured chart, built for fast and intuitive decisions in intensive care.
[ 01 / THE PROBLEM ]
Intensive care runs on data that’s hard to see.
Intensive care teams make fast decisions from a constant stream of vitals, lab results and notes.
South Australia’s electronic medical record was built for documentation and ordering, not for getting information back out. At the bedside, that meant piecing a patient’s picture together across screens. Behind the scenes, registry teams compiled national intensive care data by hand.
[ 02 / WHAT IT DOES ]
One structured chart for every ICU bed.
CCIS brings the information intensive care teams need into a single view, without changing how the EMR works.
01
Live patient data
Vitals, lab results and clinical notes come together from the EMR in one view that updates as new data arrives.
02
Familiar by design
The layout is modelled on the paper charts intensive care teams already know, so complex timelines are quick to read.
03
Registry reporting, automated
CCIS compiles and submits the 115 variables the ANZICS CORE registry requires, replacing a manual process.
04
Read-only by design
CCIS reads from the EMR without writing back to it, and patient data stays inside the SA Health network.
[ 03 / EVIDENCE ]
Measured, published and peer reviewed.
CCIS’s implementation at CALHN is documented in a peer-reviewed report in JMIR Medical Informatics.

[ 04 / DESIGNED FOR ]
Built with the people who use it.
CCIS was developed with intensive care clinicians at CALHN and shaped by how they work at the bedside.

Built on Phycera
Part of the Phycera platform
CCIS runs on Phycera’s read-only platform, which connects to the hospital EMR and keeps patient data inside the health network. The same foundations support every Phycera application.
[ 05 / WHERE IT’S UP TO ]
In daily use since 2022.
CCIS has supported CALHN’s two intensive care units every day since 2022, under research governance. The next stage is bringing it to more intensive care units.
